Niagra Falls....In My Basement!

Yesterday a pipe broke on our washtub while we were out. The water leaked everywhere, and I do mean everywhere! It went down into our heating vents to flood the storage room in our basement! It was an absolute mess! Here are some pictures.

Four Years Later!

Tomorrow Dan and I will be married 4 years....I can't believe it! It seems like yesterday that we met in the computer lab at school. I went over to sit at a computer, and accidentally whacked Dan in the head with my book bag....He just kind of looked over and smiled at me, as I said "I am sorry". That day is still so vivid in my memory...it gives me goose bumps just thinking of it. There were so many fun times before we were engaged...Dan propose on July 5, 2003 in Havre de Grace, Maryland during their Fourth of July fireworks, and the rest is history....We married on November 27th, 2004, 3 years to the date of our first meeting. Looking down the aisle that day and seeing Dan was the one of the happiest days of my life....I have never looked back! We have been together 7 years and they have been full of so many happy and sad times. We have gotten through them for better or for worse!

Happy Anniversary Dannybear! You are the LOVE of my life!

Fun In The Snow!

Yesterday Emma and Teddy helped me shovel the driveway! It was so weird to see snow yesterday, we had a lot of fun. Teddy wasn't too sure about the snow at first, but Emma couldn't wait to get out in it! Afterward we all enjoyed a great cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows!

Elf Yourself

Thanks Nancy at Three's Company for the Elf yourel ecards, this was a lot of fun!

Emma's "Mr. Hanky"

After months of trying to get Emma to do #2 in the potty it has finally happened on a "regular" basis. She is so proud of herself when she goes, that she insist we all come into the bathroom to look at what she did...ah to be 2 again.? After we look at it, Em will flush it down the toilet, and proudly say "Bye poopy, see you next time!".

Tonight we went out for supper, and right on schedule Emma told us she had to go to the bathroom (which we are very happy she does). After she was done, Emma comes out of the bathroom, and proudly yells across the restaurant to Dan "Daddy, I went poopy!". How Dan kept a straight face is beyond me, because I know my face felt flushed.....Let's just say Mr. Hanky has been a proud and defining moment Em's life!

Santa It's Only November, But You are Seriously Stressin' Me Out!

In April for some reason I decide to take on the responsibility of being the Breakfast With Santa chairperson at Emma's pre-school. Can you sucker? In the back of my clueless mind, I figured this would be a piece of cake....WRONG! Since July Me and one of the other mom's at the school have been trying to get donations from local businesses, and we have gotten a lot of good ones, like an American Girl doll to raffle off, and a Bowling party from Palace Bowling. Why so stressed you ask? The breakfast is only 3 weeks away, and there is still so much to be done! Programs have to be printed, decisions, and more decisions have to be made. I seriously got my first gray hair over this. This is the first year that the school is doing a continental breakfast instead of cooking pancakes and sausage. We are hoping that this goes over well, but we just have to wait for December 13th to find out don't we. It is very worrisome to me about volunteers to help during the breakfast, we haven't gotten many offers yet, and I am worried about the amount of help we will have for that day.

Emma said to her dad the other day " Don't bother mom she's stressed over Santa Clause". It gave us a good chuckle!

A Urinal For Toddlers.....Who Knew!

Yesterday Ted literally went in and sat on the potty chair and peed....yes he is a typical male with bad aim, but for 23 months I thought it was a pretty good try. Never gave it another thought, just figured he did it by accident. However, he did it again yesterday afternoon! A very shocking moment, the thought never crossed my mind that he might be ready for potty training. Now, he won't wear a diaper....We went to to Target yesterday and bought him some little boy briefs, and let me tell you he looks so darn cute! I don't want to push him to use the potty, but if he is interested maybe we should give it a go? Any advice would be great!

As for the potty chair however, it just won't do. His little noodle is too short to go down inside, and Babies r Us does not sell the deflector for the potty and poor Ted just kept taking his pointer finger trying push that noodle down, and would look at us in confusion so..................we had to buy a new potty just for a little boy. But the part that kind of made me chuckle was when googling potty chairs it was discovered that they make a urinal just for toddlers....yes you read that right, a urinal for toddlers! You can purchase this urinal for a mere $40! It just kind of boggles the mind, wonder who thought that up because the concept make sense.

Pump It Up

Today we took the kids to Pump It Up a new moon bounce on East Union Street in West Chester. It was an awesome place with lots of cool things to do.....even a rock wall. Emma had a blast. She went from moon bounce to moon bounce! It was hard to get her to go home. Thanks Chester County Moms for Setting this up for all of the mommy bloggers! The kids had an awesome time!

New Kids on The Block

What an amazing night of old school entertainment! Those New Kids On The Block still got it!

Channels 3 and 6 were there interviewing people going into the concert. The Wachovia Center was absolute mayhem last night! It was literally bumper to bumper getting off 95, and just about every car was going into The Wachovia Center.

Natasha Benningfield was the opening act, and she was great. I loved her, and would actually pay just see her next time she is in Philly.When the New Kids came on stage the whole place literally shook with all the screaming, and cheering! It was an amazing night....Wish I remembered my camera.

Thank you Dan for such a great anniversary gift!

The Right Stuff

Tonight is my big night! Dan is taking me to see New Kids on The Block for our anniversary! I have been looking forward to this for months...and my night is finally HERE! I am sure there are people out there saying Why The New Kids? Well, let me explain some....Back in the late 80's early 90's they were to me like Hannah Montana is to Emma.....GODS! The bed sheets, the lunch box, and the dolls were in my possesion....I owned it all, but I never got to see a concert. Always wanted to go, but never got to. My wonderful husband is making my dream come true tonight, and love him very much for it! So far it has been a GREAT week Obama is going to the White House, and New Kids on The Block are in Philly.....What more could a girl ask for?
