Alas, I was suppose to write more on my last post, but I never got around to it. And now I don't know what I was going to write.

Let's see in the past month . . . (in no particular order.)

I resigned from Creative Memories. I didn't have the required $500 is sales, and I wasn't going to charge it to my own credit card. And I decided it wasn't for me. I feel very relieved.

I am starting to print my photos as cards to sell. I have two done so far, one I just picked up today.

E had her third birthday. We had family over for burgers and corn on the cob. E wanted to play with everything, so gift opening took awhile. I'd say her favorite was a dollar store purchase.

J does his frog impersonation quite well now. I think he will never actually crawl, just leap about.

E had her first dentist visit, at which she did very well. It was also discovered that her binkie sucking is narrowing her upper jaw, so it's bye bye binkie. I was thinking that she only sucks it at nap and bedtime, but then I thought about how long of a time that actually is. Yeah, it needs to go. She is three, now. She picked the day she will say goodbye to it forever - Saturday, August 25th. We also picked a day to say goodbye to binkie for naptime, too. That was last Thursday. She's not doing to bad without it, though she still asks for it.

We went to a local carnival. E rode the kiddie rides. She and I went on the carousel, where she rode the horse this time. Before when I'd take her on, we would have to sit on the nonmoving sled. This time she rode a moving horse, and I didn't even have to stand next to her. I sat on the sled behind her. She liked the giant slide the most I think, because as soon as we got to the bottom, she wanted to do it again. She also got to play the lollipop game. Pick a lollipop out of the board, if it has a mark on it the stick you get a prize. She was just happy with the lollipop. G and I saw one of our high school English teachers. We chatted for a bit. She liked seeing our children. For being out so late, the kids did great. They didn't get to bed until after 10:30, though it didn't seem to affect them too adversely the next day.

We have had stinking hot and humid weather for ever. But I can also say that it has finally rained off and on for over 24 hours. Mostly on yesterday and mostly misty today. I am tired of watering.

We may have found the trick to helping our daughter eat in a timely manner. We moved the bird clock to a spot that she can see. We pick a bird and tell her that she has until the big hand reaches that bird to finish her meal. It has been working. Yeah.

Now on the other hand, we have J who yells at you the second his food isn't making its way to his mouth. And the boy doesn't stop. We cut him off. He still won't take a bottle. He mostly chews on it. He won't take a sippy cup either. I am trying to teach him the sign for more, to save our eardrums.

I am working on MOPPETS stuff for September. We still need workers, and I am changing some things, so I need to get that organized. I spoke in church yesterday about MOPPETS and was nervous. I don't like feeling nervous. Apparently even thinking and writing about it brings back nervous feelings. Yuck.

I guess that does it for now.
