School pics - which one?

These were taken on October 14^th but it looks like they are supposed to be holiday pics – OK which one(s) for the 2 year old 11 x14 in the living room?

 

Road trip

We headed to Oklahoma so Jim could sight in his rifles for (gulp) Deer season. I will write another day about why hunting Bambi is wrong on so many levels but here are the pictures of
Mary. She had a great time out there. Unfortunetely a cold front blew in and I had to keep her inside in the late afternoon but it was nice for part of the day. She loved seeing the cows and playing with Pop & Paulette's dog.

OK OK...

I had no idea I had such a loyal following, welcome to the Friday blog. The only one my Dad says I have to do so he can get his football jabs in, being that the Broncos have a bye this week I feel safe talking some football. Much like the Broncos my Fantasy Team has petered out by some miracle we are still in 2^nd place overall no thanks to the crappy players on my team and yes Cutler you and Marshall are part of the problem!

Today was wear your favorite football jersey day to baby school, I opted to dress her in Halloween colors instead as I am too embarrassed to dress her in an OU jersey that is too small. She has a Romo jersey but again couldn’t do it and I certainly wouldn’t put her in her Bronco cheerleader outfit after their stunning Monday night football appearance. I hope Shannon Sharpe has his clip about “someone call 911 we are killing the Patriots” because it hasn’t happened since!

Blog request

My sister Theresa said she was going through withdrawal so here is today’s version. Mary is definitely in the terrible two’s says NO all the time. She really missed Courtney this weekend so she is pretty excited to see her. Is starting to say more 2 and 3 words together. Courtney was at a horse show over the weekend, she placed in a couple of classes it’s on video but I have not seen it yet.  Jim bailed hay over the weekend so we are done for the year with that, all except finding a place to put it! My Photoshop scrapbook class ends this week I am very sad about that I really learned a lot.  I am done with the pictures from Mary’s birthday and am very excited about that – about half as many pages as last year!

Note from the Dr.

Mary’s doctor offered to write a note to my boss since I have been out of the office most of the week home with Mary. Thanks Dr. Lin but I have blown through all my sick time and am now taking vacation. I think Mary is tired of being home but I can’t take her to school with a fever and watery diaper now can I? Courtney and I have been trading off watching her. Courtney goes upstairs to study and after 45 minutes yesterday I was thinking it had been about 3 hours. Mary was even calling “Nitney” and she usually says Sissy.  Mary only took an hour nap due to the city worker repairing something across the street. I know I have no right to get mad but I am home with a sick two year old who NEEDS a nap! Have I mentioned she misbehaves even worse when she is tired?  I have 10 more minutes until I am back on “Mary duty” so Courtney can take her of her stuff and get to school by 10:00.  I got up at 3:30 to get some work stuff done – and am I done well no! I am not even going to mention the last time I had a shower…

Back to reality

The party is over Mary is a full-fledged two year old complete with telling me “no” more often than not. I was home yesterday with her daycare as was closed. I thought I would make good use of my time and get her two year old pictures made but NO she work up with a 101.5 fever. Awesome sick kid all day! Went to the Dr she has a sinus infection. 

 

I made another not so good decision downloading the Wiggles on my I-phone and playing it in the car. I have my own request line in the back seat yelling “Salad Miey miey” (Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy) I am so tempted to add the music to my blog so the rest of you can feel my pain but I won’t.

Countdown to craziness

Mary’s birthday party is Saturday.  Mom, Theresa & Ellie get in tonight at about 9:20.  Courtney and I (mostly Courtney) have been trying to pick up the house.  This morning I realized the baskets with the toys are a mess, someone (insert name of Courtney maybe the maids?) just throws the toys or books in without arranging them.   This is a job that has to be done with Mary is not around because she doesn’t like anyone putting her stuff away (hum just like her Daddy?)

 

So while I am doing all this thinking I have to ask myself why am I worried about the house being clean when it’s going to get trashed during the party??
