Raleigh…

Well hello Folks! :)  Here are some pictures of the ice at our house… it looks pretty darn cold, and from what Dustin says, its a lot colder than it looks. :( IMG00107-20100206-1024

This picture is right off our front porch… its a beautiful crape myrtle tree in the summer time… but now it looks like a alien monster or something. :)

This picture is off our back porch looking above where we live… you can see the trees leaning over.

This is another picture off our back porch, of my favorite Japanese Maple Tree that is frozen too! 

 

The weather man says that we are going to have another storm coming through Tuesday-Wednesday and don’t really want to worry about losing power again and having no place to go, so we (me and the girls) are staying at Grammy’s and Poppa’s until that storm passes.

For Amber…

Well, a friend of mine amber recently posted how her daughter Bailey “Stinkied” in the bathtub.  While reading, I was laughing to myself and reminiscing on all the wonderful times that Pressley did the same thing. When Priss was a lot smaller it seemed that every time I bathed her she would stinky in the tub. And I would have to plan my bathing around he BM’s. I’m not joking—she probably did this 3 times a  week before I figured out that I needed to re-arrange my schedule to fit hers.  Any who- so now that Priss is older and is completely potty trained I don’t have to worry about her going in the tub because she will hop out and slip and slide her way to the toilet to do her business (which she takes very seriously and is uber private about…. I’ll blog on that another time)

So as of lately I have been bathing the girls together because they enjoy playing in my garden tub.  They have a blast, laughing and splashing and swimming and dunking their heads under… it does make quite a mess but its worth the clean up because I know they are enjoying themselves to much!

Well, today is no different than any other day, get up, eat breakfast, take baths… except for the fact that Braelyn didn’t have her morning “stinky” before I bathed her… it didn’t even dawn on me to worry about this because she has never poopied in the tub… until today.  Usually, while the girls are bathing I am sitting right next to the tub filing or painting my nails… (a way that I can have a little momma time while the girls are pre-occupied) So today, while I was doing that I wasn’t really paying too much attention to what was happening under the water until both girls stood up and Priss pointed into the water and said “ YUCK! Brae stinkied in the tub”  She kept repeating it over and over while holding her nose like it was the most horrible smell in the world! LOL!
