What???

I realize that product warning labels are there for a reason. Some lame-O moron actually left the plastic wrap on the pizza and put it in the oven that wasn't even turned on.

TMI warning: If you don't want to know about my urinary tract health, stop reading now!!

I have myself a bit of a UTI. So today at Wal-Mart I stocked up on sugar-free cranberry juice and got something called AZO Standard for the pain. After I took the AZO, I noticed the psychedelic shades of my reddish-yellow-orange pee. I double-checked the directions just to make sure that was SUPPOSED to happen...whew! Yes, that's normal. But...I also read the warnings this time. Users are warned that staining can occur, and that this medication can interfere with some kids of medical test results. All normal warnings. This is the one that concerned me:

"This product may stain soft contact lenses"

I guess as long as you're not one of the people that pees on their contacts to moisten them, you've got nothing to worry about.

Snow Day(s)

Today the kids were out of school again. We got 5 or so inches of snow yesterday. It's the first decent snow we've gotten in awhile.

I call this photo "Snow Devil".

Cooper was getting buried like he was at the beach or something!

I wish I had a funny "avalanche" video to go along with this photo but no :( Is that mean?

We all had fun, Tim too. He worked from home. But it is time to go back to school tomorrow. I bet it will be 2 hours late. Who knows. AHA, right after I hit "post" I got a school system email...2 hour delay!

Cam's Bday

Facebook

I've succumbed to the peer pressure and started "FBing". It makes Blogger look like pre-school. It is a pain, I think. I know I'm a newbie, but it makes my eyes hurt. It has been fun looking at pictures of all my old high school friends, but other than that, I can't really seem to get in to it. I did just use You Tube and FB to send a video clip to several people. I had tried to email it and it failed. So there is at least 1 useful feature. I enjoy blogging and lately find it hard to carve out time for it. I am really going to have trouble finding time to tell everybody that "I have a runny nose right now" or "I'm watching the rain drops on the windowpane". Am I too harsh? I just don't get it...at least that part anyway.

Happy Birthday Cameron!

It was actually yesterday...oops...oh well! We didn't really do anything yesterday. We had family and close friends over last Saturday for his official party. I do have pictures but I got a new camera and I haven't loaded the software on the computer yet. I've got to find the box. The house is a wreck. I feel like we're moving to another house instead of just moving our bedroom downstairs. Anyways this is supposed to be about my BABY turning 3!!

Cameron...It was such a big deal just trying to figure out if we even wanted to try for baby number 3. Now I can't imagine what we would do without you. You are so full of life and mischief. Always getting into something. This week you started telling me, "Mommy, I not doin' nuffin'.", usually with your hands behind your back. You almost always have some kind of boo-boo, usually on your head.

Recently, during the basement construction, you snuck out of the house. You put on your shoes and went outside to ride your bike. I was fixing lunch and I thought you were in the playroom so I didn't realize you were gone until you poked your head through the door at the top of the stairs and announced "Hi mom!". At least you were wearing your helmet! UGH! We are so in for it when you get older. I'm so glad we got the alarm fixed.

You love to color. In fact, other than eating, it's just about the only time you will sit still. You also love puzzles and pre-school. Instead of crying when I drop you off, you cry when I come to pick you up.

You're our only "lefty". With both Tim and I being left-handed we've been waiting to see if any of our kids would be...and it appears to be you! Sometimes you'll use your right hand, but mostly your left. I hope you are left-handed.

You're not potty trained at all! Probably mainly my fault but you have NO interest whatsoever and I don't want to push too hard. You fight me sometimes when I try to get you to go so...I don't know. It's really not high on my priority list right now. You're showing a few signs, so I think you might be getting more into it. You do want to wear the new Thomas undies I got you so maybe soon.

I love you Cam-Cam. You're my crazy-head. Your silly faces make me laugh every day even if I don't want to.

I love you and I'm so glad we decided to go for number 3!!!

My kids...as defined in terms of coloring

Abbie: Outside the lines

Cooper: Inside the lines

Cameron: What? There's lines?

Grateful Friday

I figured a Grateful Friday would be a good day to return. I think I was so overwhelmed by all the things that I wanted to post about but missed. I couldn't figure out where to start, so Ill just start with today. I'm grateful for:

• The sunny day that gave me the motivation to get all my errands done
• My mom
• That the grocery store had the Thomas cake decorations in stock
• That the friends and family that are coming over tomorrow won't really care that I'm blogging instead of cleaning my house
• That I have friends and family that live close enough for me to see every day if I want to
• That right now all kiddos are off medication and healthy
• That our basement is officially finished as of today (except for the caulking I have to do)
• That I, quite unexpectedly, LOVE to caulk! I am the Queen of Caulk (don't say that out loud)
