post update I

I have a friend who does this and I like the idea, so I am shamelessly stealing it.

monkey see, monkey do

I still haven’t totally cleaned up my mouth, but I am watching what I say. Thankfully, Natasha isn’t walking around the house swearing although “sit” really sounds a lot like “shit” sometimes, but we know it’s just “sit”.

food fight

Natasha now tries just about anything. She loves cherry tomatoes, black olives, and most any fruit. She doesn’t usually like chicken, except the nuggets from Chick-fil-A. Meatballs are a favorite, but not hamburger or meatloaf. Pancakes, hot cereal (instant oatmeal), and sausage are her favorite breakfast foods. She still doesn’t eat a lot of sweets, but Eat-N-Park Smiley Cookies are a favorite.

highway robbery

The car *DID* need new brakes. Unfortunately, I didn’t find that out until it needed new rotors too. And new tires. I still hate mechanics and cars.

what’s your name, little girl, what’s your name?

Katrina Rita is still our girl name. We have no boy name (although James will definitely be the middle name if we have a boy). Beth likes Gavin (I don’t) and I like Ethan (Beth doesn’t). We went through this with Natasha, so it’s our thinking that this child will be a boy. We don’t know for sure; it’s just a hunch

changing spaces

We’ve done zero work getting rooms ready for baby number two. In fact, we actually started destroying other parts of the house instead. We stripped wallpaper in the hall leading to our bedroom and Beth’s uncle took out a bulkhead. The bulkhead tied in above our front door and he didn’t want to have to cut a notch into the oak door trim because of the bulkhead. The bulkhead is gone and we now have an overhead light in our entryway. April 11 is coming fast.

snack attack

I got ripped off again by the snack machine last week. I really wanted some BBQ potato chips. I paid for them, but the bag got stuck in the mechanism. I then paid again thinking the second bag (and last one in the machine) would push the first bag out and I’d have a bag for later. Instead, the first bag blocked the second. The second bag then exploded. Later on, someone else somehow managed to get my first bag to drop. They got a freebie.

Also, they replaced the machines on our floor today. There are two brand new machines: a snack machine and a bottle pop machine. No can pop machine. I don’t like bottles of pop. 20 oz. is more than I usually want. It’s also 50¢ more than a 12 oz. can. Also, the cans always seem colder. I hope a can machine is on the way, but I doubt it.
