Whoop-see-daisy!

OK, I'm bombarding you. I'm sorry.  But, really, there's only two of you, so I'm not that sorry.

Anyhow.  I just found this series of photos that Josh took of Sidekick while I was gone last week, and they're so cute.  I just HAD to post them.

Sidenote: Since the photos below were taken, Sidekick received a VERY needed haircut.

 Check me out!

Whoa... 

Oh man... goin' down.... this is gonna hurt.

 Hmm.  Well that wasn't so bad.  

Just Cruisin

So, for Christmas little mister Sidekick got a walker.  He's been staying out past curfew and picking up women ever since... just kidding!  He has; however, been LOVING the wind blowing through his hair as he jets from room to room.  He thinks he's a rather big guy.

Today, he ventured into the bathroom.  Hysterical.  He's been trying to get in there for weeks now, but hasn't quite been able to maneuver it just quite perfectly enough to get through the door.  He's managed to get into the laundry room - so far, that's his favorite place.

But... Today was the day.

Hello Bathroom.... hello ducky.  I see you.

"Oh Hey Mom... Can you see my ducky.  He's just there... on the other side."

 Just a man and his thoughts.  

Only thing missing.... reading material.

After a few moments of reflection, I helped him scoot out of the bathroom.  For a little persuasion, I lured
him with the oh so lovely blankie...

Oh... gasp. Be still my heart.  That is just precious.  I'm going to snuggle with my blankie now.

Getting back on track...

OK, so it's been too long since I've paid any attention to this poor little blog.  I know I've said it before, but this is serious neglect.  I'm pretty sure my two readers have completely given up on me.

So, let me just tell you how 2011 has been to us and WHY I've been absent:
Week 1 - Sidekick get's the lovely Hand-foot-mouth disease.
Week 2 - I get it while working 10-12 hour days. (PS - adults don't usually get this - lucky me!)
Week 3 - I get some horrid form of sickness that gives me a fever, sore throat, cough, etc.  Josh gets it too.  Sidekick hangs in, but gets a little snotty nose, etc.
Week 4 - I get a sinus infection and nasty cough.
Week 5 - Josh gets sick & Sidekick gets a nasty, chunky cough & cold.
Week 6 - Sidekick has double ear-infection, RSV ... AND gets both top front teeth = mommy gets NO sleep.
Week 7 - Josh is sick again, Sidekick is hanging in there...

WEEK 8 - PLEASE BE KIND TO US!!!  PLEEEEEASE!!!

Sidekick's First Carrots

It's been a while, and I have a lot to catch up on... but this is just too funny and needs to go up now.

I hope your Holidays were better than carrots!

Brutal Honesty

We all know children are the truest form of honesty.  Unfiltered, honest to goodness TRUTH.  Gotta love them for it! 

Here's my story.  It won't be long... because I can't bare to talk about it much.  My niece, Kira, shared this conversation with me last night after dinner, before I had dessert:

Kira: Auntie, are you pregnant?

Me: Nope

Kira: Well it sure does look like it.




The end.
I'm going to the gym now.  I did not have dessert.

Crouching Tiger hidden Pumpkin

Little people are so much fun.  You can tell them your secrets and they won't tell anyone.  You can wear hideous clothes around the house and they won't criticize.  You can eat sweet treats and totally blow your diet and they won't make you feel guilty. 

Best of all... you can dress them up and they don't care!  

Maybe they'll care one day, but that day isn't today!

Thanks to Sidekick and his tiger (not Tigger) buddy for supplying us with some sweet entertainment and lots of orange memories.

LUVS!

Feelin' Funky

Sometimes we all have those days when we're just feeling a little funky.  Well, our sidekick recently had that day, or shall I say two days.

It started out like this on Tuesday evening:

Then on Wednesday morning, we had this:

Yes, I did stop and take pictures after he puked all over himself.  DO NOT JUDGE ME!  I had to.

We then ended like this:

MUCH BETTER!  :)
