11 things we have learned in the past few weeks.
1. Honda Odysseys are pretty awesome.
Daniel said a tearful goodbye to his beloved Explorer.
I love all the space. And that it has a DVD player. I think Daniel is enjoying driving a car (our Sonata) that has A/C and functioning seat-belts.
2. Your mouth is an efficient way to carry things whilst crawling.
Even if she acts like a dog she's still really cute. And she loves cheese
3. Play dates are much more fun when you don't fight with your friends.
It is absolutely glorious to have Sadie and her friends go in the
basement by themselves without having to be
supervised/refereed. Sadie & Anna Gaines played downstairs for a good 2 hours one day
4. Tapes are amazing, but useless.
The Explorer had a tape
player and these tapes have been floating around in Daniel's car for the
past 10 years. When we cleaned out the Explorer I couldn't part with
them, but a few days later I realized a
picture on the blog and then tossing them would suffice. Tapes pictured above (l-r)- good mix, most romantic songs ever mix, Ace of Base, Meredith's relax mix '98. and Bette Midler. Pure gold. I miss them.
5. Elise's hair is long enough for a ponytail.
6. Baby powder is really fun to make a mess with, but not that fun to clean up.
7. Willy the Wolverine is both exciting and fear-inducing
8. Kids don't really care about Mother's Day.
Sadie refused to take a picture with me and Elise refused to take a good picture with me.
9. Elise is allergic to penicillin.
This is actually before the rash spread over her entire body (including her earlobes). She had a rough few weeks between the double ear infection, being allergic to the medicine for the infections, and then the traumatic nebulizer treatment from the cough that just won't go away.
10. Plastic pools don't really cushion the hard ground underneath
Sadie whined a little after running and jumping into the pool

So many things to comment on.
Poor Elise! I hope she is feeling better now. The word nebulizer is kind of scary, so I can imagine using it would be traumatic.
Her hair does look cute in a ponytail, is it getting blonder?
I am jealous of all the space you have in your van. And the DVD player.
I can't believe you threw away the Most Romantic Songs Ever. What were they?
Poor Elise! Is she allergic to all anti-biotics, or just penicillin? Somehow she keeps smiling and looking cute through it all. And I know what you mean about how heavenly it is when your kids can go to a family room and play without you for a few hours. Gives you a whole new perspective on motherhood. The mini-van looks amazing. I really want a new car (but not a mini-van). I really really do.
Loved your update on stuff. I kind of wish you were driving here to Oregon this week so we could cruise around in the Odyssey :)
And Briz won't stop saying, "I want to see a picture of Sadie." And then I show her, she says, "Oh, so cute."
Have you seen the rockstar Honda Odyssey commercials? Look them up on Youtube if you please. That's how I imagine Daniel driving the van.
I never wanted a minivan until we started looking at them a few weeks ago...now I'm obsessed! I can't wait to get one :) Sadie looks so grown up in your pictures!
