Five on Friday

ONE

How about this post?  I haven't been able to do any real blogging lately.  The only thing I've kept up with is my So What Wednesday posts.  I've just been so busy these past few weeks.  Hopefully I'll be able to start blogging and reading regularly again soon.

We are almost 100% moved into our  new house.  I have been working like crazy to get everything unpacked and organized but that's been hard with the two kiddos up my butt every second of every day.  The shitty part about not selling your home is that you don't feel any urgency to really move out of it.  We are renting our old house to a friend and he doesn't move in for another week.

We are hoping to get everything out of the house and have it all cleaned for him this weekend.  Then we will be all moved out.  Now we just have to organize everything.  I can't believe how much crap we had in that little house.  We are filling up the new house very quickly!

This little giraffe has been a big hit in our house so far.  The only problem with her is that the kids fight over her.  The little guy likes to chew on her but Ashlyn wants to play with her too.  Why?  Because it's a new toy and it's for her brother and she wants it.  Lesson learned.

Let me just pat myself on the back for making my own baby food.  I finally started doing it and it rocks!  It was so much easier than I thought it would be.  I started off with apples and sweet potatoes because they seemed easy.  The little guy gobbled up the applesauce so I guess I did ok. 
 
I can't wait to make more.  And all of the stress over a dam blender?  I got an Oster blender from Wal-Mart for $25.00 and the thing is awesome.  
 
 
 
FIVE
 
We got a lot of gift cards for Christmas and they were just sitting here not being used.  I finally sat down and ordered some things.  Some outfits for the little guy from Old Navy and Kohls since he's already wearing 9 and 12 month clothing, a new comforter set from Boscov's, a new camera for the monitor system and some more clothes for the little guy from Target.  And now we wait for it all to arrive.

    YAY! So happy the food worked out and was easy to execute. LOL that the teether has become a quick favorite. Ashyln knows whats good. I bet Chunk has a lot of clothes he didn't get a chance to wear because he grew so fast like a good little baby. As long as you keep up with your so what wednesday's and friday letters, I'm okay with whenever you login and blog :]

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow.  I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything.  I loved having snow days.  I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes.  I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days?  I don't get snow days.  I don't work.  I don't get to have work or school canceled.  I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow.  What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone.  He plows snow in the Winter.  Go figure.  He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow.  So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
