- I may as well start with this one: As I sit here and type, I'm eating the M&Ms that I purchased in case Tanner ever decides to go pee-pee on the potty again.
- This morning I had a friend watch Tanner so that I could go to the orthodontist to get a new retainer. (Yes, I STILL wear the retainer I got after getting my braces off 12 years ago every night to bed -- romantic, huh?!!) I brought Landon with me and had to feed him right after the appointment, so I went to the Starbucks next door. I got lots of weird looks (mostly from men) as I sat there and nursed him. I really wanted to just say that "in Europe, people nurse their babies in public without even covering up, so get over it!" After a while, I started to feel a tiny bit embarrassed. But then I saw a guy take his laptop into the bathroom with him and I figured that he should be the one who's embarrassed. LOL :)
- Oh yeah ... as long as we're talking about teeth, I think I forgot to mention this a few weeks ago. I had THREE cavities at my last dentist appointment and totally ruined my perfect record. I'm still in shock. Especially because I'm a flosser.
- Sometimes at night when I'm feeding Landon or rocking him to sleep, I'm incredibly saddened by how quickly he's growing ... and also by the fact that Jon says we can only have one more baby after this. Every time I look at my sweet little guy, I'm certain that I could have at least a dozen more. It's not that I'm so crazy about babies in general ... just crazy about my own. :) I am so MADLY in love with this little dude.
- The other night, we tried to get Tanner to eat just a few more bites of his dinner by bribing him with a popsicle. After his refusal, Jon got out a popsicle and ate it right in front of him (look at Tanner cry.) We're all so very adult around here. :)
- When we moved into our house a year ago, we decided to make the dining room into a playroom since we didn't have any dining room furniture. We didn't have any living room furniture either, but were intending to purchase some. Now, it's a year later and we STILL don't have living room furniture. I'm seriously considering just expanding our playroom to encompass two full rooms. Is that a bad thing?? My friends call me a "minimalist" but really, I'm just uninspired.
- I only mop my floors if I'm hosting playgroup the next day. (Don't judge.) Today we had playgroup at our house and my floors were definitely not mopped. Oh yeah, and I took all of the clutter on our kitchen counters, dumped it in a laundry basket, and hid it in my laundry room while they were here.
Speaking of ... I better go get that put away before someone's little hands find it tomorrow. Sleep tight you all!

Rachel,
1. I just gave my kids the tiniest brownies ever so there way more left for me!
2. I hide the good cereal.
3. I hide things in my closet if people are coming over.
4. I hardly ever floss, like a child, I need reminded!
Does that make you feel better? Thanks for making me feel better!!
You are so funny! I have done all the above and many more. If that is the worst we do as parents, I think we are doing great! Kennedy is sitting next to me on the couch eating a very nutritious pop tart for breakfast. Because it requires very little effort from me. Oh yeah, the tv is on too! And I am all for expanding the playroom. Seriously, isn't that what gets the most use? When we were looking at houses, everyone that had a formal living room, we would say, there is the playroom! Love you girl!
Love the blog- and Landon's Velveeta shirt!!
Blame your cavities on pregnancy, not bad hygiene. The growing baby needs so much it sucks it away from us Moms. My Mum always told me you lose a tooth for every pregnancy.
hahha....love it all, Rachel. And I totally feel ya on the minimalist approach...or rather uninspired. We moved a year ago, too and you'd never guess it because it seroiusly looks like we just unpacked the boxes (there is hardly anything on the walls). No time to really think about what to do...that's what I say anyway.
lol on all fronts. Tell Jon his popsicle tricks are common around here too, especially when one brother has earned dessert and the other hasn't. Don't think we haven't taken out the popsicle and placed it right in front of the little men either. Best yet, when both Daddy AND Mommy eat dessert in front of the kids. I always think--"Hey, you had the choice to eat and get dessert. You chose poorly! Tough luck." :) Hugs!
Hey Rachel!
I love the part about Jon, Tanner, and the beloved popsicle!
I too only mop when we're having playgroup over. So, I mopped for the FIRST time in this house (we've lived here since mid April) this week. How gross is that?? It is just so pointless with dogs. You can immediately see little pad prints when you're finished.
So, you're not alone!! Have a good weekend.
I forgot to mention how much Landon looks like his big bro in these photos in particular.
All I can say is, thank you for making me smile :)
I have to laugh at the whole popsicle incident because no dessert without dinner is a commonly heard phrase around our house. The funny thing now, though, is that Joey says we can't have dessert if we don't have dinner because that's what Jon and Kate say. Too much Jon and Kate Plus 8 in our house- is that a sad confession?!
