Powerless

OK, so many of you mommies know that try as we might there are some things that we are powerless over. Well, this past week I have been put to the test because we have literally been powerless (with out electricity) for 5 days. It has been quite a challenge, but fun at the same time. We have really gotten to know our neighbors better and the kiddos have played outside from sun up to sun down each day. Sorry no pics again, but it has been a crazy week. we are leaving in the morning for Cape Cod so I will have vacation pics when we return.

Obsessions

So, having recently posted that Owen has a mild obsession with Buzz Lightyear I thought I should be put myself out there and talk about a few of my own. There are many I am sure, but here are a list of the current ones.

1. Potty training (there should be a manual)
2. Poo problems (we have delt with them all)
3. Child development (once again, where is the owners manual)
4. Reading (for pleasure believe it or not)
5. Potty issues (who knew that reading Everyone Poops wouldn't solve all our problems)
6. Baby be blessed dolls (babybeblessed.blogspot.com or babybeblesseddolls.com)

To start with the last first these dolls and critters are the sweetest things...anyone need a Christmas present idea Madi would LOVE one of these. They have a free give away over the weekends and I have been hoping to win for weeks now.

OK, so as for the otheres, do you see a theme here? We are well into out potty adventure and some days I see no end in sight. I am sure that one day I will look back on all this and think "Boy that wasn't so bad" but right now I think I might send my kiddo to college in pull ups. (Owen, if you are reading this while in college then I hope you are not in pull ups and I hope you know I love you which is why I am obsessed :) So, if you feel like leaving me a comment about the secret to potty training please feel free to do so. Having spoken with my pediatrician about this numerous times I am convinced that they have a top secret file on how to potty train in 5 minutes and they are just waiting to give it to me until I am REALLY desperate. Just needed to get that out.

Sorry for the lack of pictures this time. I have no idea where the camera is. I am sure that if it were in the bathroom I would know.
