Grrrr

i have a couple of blogs to catch up on. but blogger is being a pain in my tush and is giving me trouble uploading the pictures. and as it is the perfect saturday morning so far, i'm not going to give in to the frustration, but instead, i will travel to the mall with my adorable daughter and shop for shoes for a certain wedding next weekend. so stay tuned for more updates, coming soon.

Fine.

Fine. Here's the mailbox story. Since some 'anonymous' person/people really really really really want(s) to hear it.

I texted Travis on Tuesday morning to see if Adalynn had woken yet. I get a text back 'call ya in a min'. Ok, I think, he's busy with our sweet daughter. Nope. He had let the dogs out, looked out the window, and said to himself, "hmmm. Odd new lawn ornament." Our neighbor's brother's girlfriend (figure that out) had backed out of their driveway, over the street, and ended up ON our mailbox ON the 3' tall snowbank. In a Bonneville. Quite impressive. So Travis got to be the 'manly man' and pull the F250 card and tow her Off the snowbank. (of note: this is the 2nd time he has had to pull this car off a snowbank. her boyfriend got it stuck on a snowbank in their driveway a couple of weeks ago.) Her boyfriend came over later and said, "Yea, she's having a bad day." (what gave him the first clue?) "She spilled coffee on herself on the way to school too". Total insult to injury. So in order to fix the lack of mailbox, in true redneck fashion, Travis filled a 5 gallon bucket with concrete and sank the 4x4. It is a gorgeous new addition to our house. We may keep it like this. Forever. (just kidding honey. i want it fixed at the first thaw. pulleeze!)

Finally, a day off.

New outfits were worn.

Ahhhh. It was a good day.

Happy March!

Thank God for a little bit of sunshine today! It was nice out, about 37deg still when I got home from work, so we decided to introduce Adalynn to the great outdoors. She loved being outside - and she laughed at randomness for the first time today. Banks and Rocky began to fight loudly over a stick, and all the sudden Adalynn cracked up laughing at them. She did this 4 or 5 times, it was hilarious. She seems to like Banks better than Rocky at this point, but then again, Banks also returns the favor and likes her more than the Rock does. I love baby giggles!

Happy New Hat Day!

Thanks Sarah, for the new hats. Your craftmanship is amazing! They are too cute.

We'll post pictures of the Blueberry hat soon...someone got too hungry to be cute for more pictures.

Wish List

Travis' mom and stepfather left for a trip to St Thomas, St Johns, and around that neck of the world. Lucky-ducks. But anyway, here's a piece of my dear husband's intricate and fascinating mind that he passed on to his mother prior to their departure:

Go wild. Good one babes.

We really hope they do get something for Adalynn that she can drool on, since that seems to be her favorite game as of late. The other games she was playing today include: 1. Lets see how short of a nap I can take. 2. Let's see how long I can get mommy to hold me for by crying every time she puts me down. 3. How much liquid poo can a diaper hold? and 4. How many fingers can I get in my mouth at one time? (with the preference being for a whole fist). Really, I think this sums it up..

Poor, poor Banks. What a trooper. It has got to be so humiliating to be the subject of the Masselink's allergy test. Cheaper than the docs office.
