Computer Loss

My computer died last week ... a quick but harsh death ... and I lost everything ...

Baby Bath Tub

Lincoln has graduated from the sink to the baby bath tub ... he was just getting too big for the sink and it was a bit too slippery and looking uncomfortable ... he was a bit startled with the baby bathtub at first but he grabbed hold of my hand and felt a bit more comfortable ... it was a much easier experience too than the sink ... I look forward to when Linc and Skye can take a bath together ... she is looking forward to it too ... she hangs out with me when he gets his bath and asks constantly when can they play in the tub ... my answer is, "not soon enough" ...

Outback Birthday

For David's birthday dinner we went to Outback Steakhouse ... it has been years since we have been there ... and can I just say ... it was delicious ...

Our kids seemed to not be themselves ... usually everyone is very good while we were out but Skye needed to dance and dance a lot ... we were in a bit of a traffic area so we kept going out front to dance ... while Linc needed to cry and cry a lot ... so he would come too ... David and I just took turns eating or going out front ... and despite the craziness we laughed the whole time ... ate some great food ... marveled at our kids ... and really enjoyed ourselves ... I hope we don't wait years again to go back ...

Family Birthday Party

Today we had a family birthday party celebrating Skye's, Ellie's and David's birthday ... we all went to my parents house ... cooked out ... opened presents and everyone had their own cake for the festivities ... it was a wonderful afternoon and so great that in the family we have 3 May birthdays (we have 3 March birthdays too ... Abby, Me and Lincoln) ...

Schuyler just adores Ellie so much so I think it is an added treat for her to have her birthday party with Ellie ... makes it very special for Schuyler ...

And heck David is just cute at his birthday even if he isn't thrilled about getting older ...

Dress Yourself Day

I absolutely adore "Dress Yourself Day" ... just love love love it ... I need to point out it was about 90 degrees with something like 80% humidity ... crazy hot to be wearing a winter hat ... but it did match the polka-dots in the shirt and that is what is important ... and the white patten leather shoes with shorts is especially wonderful ...

By the way she figured out on her own it was too hot to wear the hat ... it lasted about 3 minutes outside ... so I didn't have to be a mean mommy and make her take it off for fear of heat stroke ... she avoided it all on her own ...

Montauk

So because daddy has a close association with Montauk we got this shirt the other day ... it is really a boys shirt but it works perfectly as a nightgown ... it is the new favorite ...

Cockcorn

This is one of the words Schuyler mispronounces ... most of the time I saw the word correctly for her ... but this one cracks me up every time that I don't correct her ... I still say popcorn when we are talking about it but she always comes back with cockcorn ...

It was especially funny in the grocery store yesterday when she yelled out, "Mommy we have to get some cockcorn we just have to" ... sure did bring a smile to my face ...
