First Snips

August 28, 2008
We started off happy.
Then, not so much.
Finally, it was over!

There's not a big difference between the before and after. We just cut off his curly "wings". I think it looks pretty nice!

mystery solved

So, I wondered why our bank account said we had more money than I figured we should. Today I found out that we've been living without car insurance since March and didn't know it! (We were cancelled because I sent too old proof of prior insurance.) I must have missed the letter telling us. We are so lucky that we were never pulled over or had an accident!

Okay, I have a bright idea. Tate's in the crocodile roll stage. There's not enough time in the day for him to investigate every corner of our apartment, so why should he have to be bothered with diaper and clothe changes? Wouldn't it be hilarious to replace the wild cows of the wild cow milking contest at the rodeo with crocodile rolling babies?! The cowboys would have to catch and baby, change the dipe, and put on an outfit with lots of buttons, all while not hurting the child, of course. That would be some entertainment. Now, make it so!

So, we're sitting in sacrament meeting, during the sacrament, when Eric turns to me with a "get this baby off of me" face. He had felt a warmth. And let me tell you that it wasn't a warm and fuzzy feeling inside from a nice meeting! I whisk Tate away to the mother's lounge, careful not to let his backside touch me. Halfway there I realize that his frontside is contaminated, too! So, I have a nice wet spot on my chest, but it's repairable with some wipes. Eric's pants are beyond repair (soaked clear thru to the undies!) and he heads home to change. After the ordeal I go sing in the choir and I don't think anyone noticed the wet splotch on my shirt. Or maybe they were too polite to say anything. Eric made it back in time to listen to the choir. His speed is quite amazing in running, clothes changing, and eating.

Anyway, chalk that one up in your memories, with the poop throwing incident in the crib last week, of stories to tell Tate in front of his dates in the future! Yes, we will traumatize this poor child =)

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Hello peeps!

I'm supposed to be planning our Beehive lesson for tomorrow morning. So I figured this would be a great time to start a blog! I like reading everybody else's blogs so here goes nothing! Travis, how do I make mine cool like yours. Translation: You have tye-dyes and I have a borrowed template. I want to make my own cool background, too.

All right, I've thought of cool things to say before I set this up, but now I'm tongue-tied. Or finger-tied. So, I'm going to play around and add some albums from smilebox if I can. I know that those I'm telling about the blog have already seen the albums, but I'm adding them anyway!
