Filanthropy Friday

This may come as a shock - but I use the interwebs to do lots of extensive (2 minute) research on various topics - from potty training to fork lift battery replacing. 

A site that frequently comes up in my search results is Wikipedia.  This week I was  doing some very intelligent research on the fiscal cliff (or cookie dough) and I noticed at the top of Wikipedia that they were doing a fundraiser because they're actually a non-profit - the Wikimedia Foundation.  Who knew?

Access to information (even if it isn't always 100% accurate) is good.  So this week I donated $10 to Wikipedia.

Crazy Mom

I've probably lost my mind. 

On Tuesday Cub left school early because he had diarrhea (although we never saw it).

Yesterday, Cash spent most of the day with us at work.  We actually had a really good time at work together and Cash really enjoyed himself  - especially with Ms. Patty.   All day, there was absolutely no diarrhea.  In fact (and here's where the crazy part comes), I actually took a picture of his one poop diaper just to prove that he didn't have diarrhea (I won't post the picture here).  

Today at school - no diarrhea - so there was no need to share the picture with anyone (except for Buttin, I sent it to him - he's so lucky).

Here are a couple cute pictures of Cash today.

Wordless Wednesday

Chicken Update

Today I had my 38 week appointment with mid-wifey and doula, Shelley. They know each other very well, so it was really chat among friends.

Chicken looks just perfect and hopefully Chicken will stay put for at least another couple of weeks (I have too much to do).

Cash got sent home early from school today - diarrhea.  Although, he doesn't seem sick in the slightest - no fever, not tired (he was bouncing off the walls when we got home this afternoon) and no diarrhea at all this afternoon. 

I think they've very cautious at school.  Buttin and I both have a ton to do and we couldn't find a sitter for tomorrow, so we're going to try to bring Cub to work with us.  We'll see how it goes. 

Here's Cub this afternoon trying to convince me it's OK to take a racket that was left at the playground (that was clearly marked "Ava") back home.  It took a while to divert his attention to other objects.

Misfit Monday

Buttin texted me last week.   

We had the first mystery solved by our video cameras.

One of our installers (we'll call him installer A) told Buttin that he thought another installer (we'll call him installer B) had taken his drill.  The video showed definitive proof that installer B's helper had, in fact, taken the drill.

Here is the exact telephone conversation.

Buttin:  So, installer B - do you know where installer A's drill is?

Installer B:  Nope.

Buttin:  Well, why don't you ask your helper.

Installer B:  He says he doesn't see it.

Buttin:  Well, I'm looking a monitor right now and it is showing your helper putting installer A's drill into your truck.

Installer B:  Wait, let me check.  Yup, it's here  - I found it.

Mystery solved!!

Here is our holiday card!  It's pretty exciting (and silly).   

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Six Years To Me & Buttin!

Here's Cub today playing in a stranger's yard (he loves the blow up things).

December

So, it's the first of December. In Texas, that means shorts and a t-shirt.

Looks like Chicken will be a December baby (at least, Chicken BETTER come in December).

Today the neighborhood down the street had a Holiday Craft Festival - with a train, petting zoo and Santa.

Cash had a pretty good time with the ducks.
