I really have misplaced my brain!
This morning I got up, opened the cupboard to get a class...and sitting in front of me is a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, defrosted of course!!! It was the rest of the bag of the veggies I gave Carter for dinner. I didn't even put them in the food cupboard!!! Don't ask me WHY I put them in with the plates and glasses. I really am losing it!

Really? Are you kidding me?!?!
Jordan and I were greeters at church last night. Since we get there so early, and we don't go in to sit down until after worship has ended, we always save ourselves a couple of seats for when we sneak in. Last night, I was kinda surprised by this lady who I handed a bulletin to, she pretty much just grabbed it out of my hand, and kept walking through the doors. It's just not very common that someone completely ignores your smile, and hello, welcoming them to church.
So anyways, after we are done passing out bulletins, we go in to sit down. The seats I saved are full! Guess who decided to sit there, and move my purse, and bulletin that were saving our seats???? Yep, that rude lady!!! I couldn't believe it, I mean seriously, you are coming to CHURCH! I had to go get my purse, because I wasn't going to let it sit there the entire service, so I walk over, say "excuse me" and grab my purse, AND bulletin. She just looks at me, and doesn't say a word. I seriously just sat there and chuckled....some people just DON'T get it!

Carter vs. playground
Playground 1 - Carter 0
It's quite the task some days at the park to keep Carter from nearly killing himself. I seriously think he would jump off 5 ft. high equipment, and not think twice about it. He is absolutely fearless! He face planted this morning, and now has a big bruise on his cheek, and looks like he has a black eye. I took a few pics this morning after we got home from the park, but its bruised up more since then. Good thing I wasn't planning on getting his 18 month pics done quite yet!
Mischievous little boy!
He thinks he's pretty funny stuff!!!
We were saying prayers tonight, and we prayed that Grammy and Papa enjoy the rest of their vacation, and have a safe trip home. Carter puts his milk cup down, says "Grammy" (by shaking his finger, thats still how he signs Grammy, lol) and he says "Papa." Then he waves and says "bye bye" and "bus." He was so cute! My dad took him out to the motorhome alot while they were packing, and they call it "the bus" to Carter. I just love seeing him try to formulate a sentence, its adorable. :)

Amish friendship bread
A friend of mine gave me an amish friendship bread starter. I was really excited! I had some for the first time last year, and it was delicious!!!!
So anyways, i'm just confused as to how we can eat it, and not end up puking our brains out. Basically, you are given a starter. It has a cup of the mixture in it from your friends starter. It's kinda confusing! Anyways, it has instructions, but you let it sit out for 9 days. On day 5 or 6, you add a cup of milk, sugar, and flour. To make a long, rambling, confusing story short....basically you could be eating a loaf of bread that has milk it, which could possibly have been sitting out on the counter for months!!!! Make sense? So say I got a starter from a friend, and she got hers from a friend. On day 9, when their starter is done, you add more milk, sugar, and flour. Then you take out a cup of mixture, and put it in 4 seperate bags. Voila! 4 new starters! Then I give a couple of my starters to a friend. Although the amount gets smaller, and smaller...their still is a trace amount of milk/mixture leftover from my friends starter, and her friends! Are you totally confused yet??? :) Google it if i'm making no sense. But seriously, my question is, how can you eat something with milk in it, thats been sitting out for maybe only 10 days??? When it ferments (whatever that means) does that make it somehow more safe?
All I can picture is a sippy cup of milk thats been sitting in my car for a week. There is NOOOO way I would want to drink that nasty stuff!!!!!! Why is it different with the bread mixture? Someone enlighten me!!!!
My 2 loaves are now cooking in the oven. Regardless of how the heck it works, i'm still excited to eat some! :)

Just another day
After an emotional morning at MOPS, I was inspired to scrapbook tonight. I wanted to create a page to help me remember the everyday moments that seem to slip away as time goes by. No photos on these layouts, just memories. :) This is what I came up with.
The journaling says...(I realize my grammar is not the best...thats what happens when I just write, and don't proofread. Oh well though.) :)
Tuesday April 21st 2009.
My built in alarm clock...AKA you, woke me up at 6:12am! Way too early for you & I was tired!!! I changed your diaper, got your milk cup, and we went back into my bed to cuddle. I really just wanted a few more minutes of sleep! :) You began to wiggle your upper body, which is your baby sign for when you want to watch the TV show "The Wiggles." It's so cute!!! I showered while you ate breakfast. We had MOPS today, and we made it out of the door on time! You were a big helper this morning, and actually waited patiently at the door...while waving "bye bye." (as I gathered last minute stuff) At MOPS we got out of the car, and you saw Rhiannon. You immediately go give her a hug...completely unprompted by anyone. <3. You are such a sweet boy! After MOPS, we had lunch. You finished your grapes and said "mama" then signed "more" then said "ball" meaning....more grapes Mommy! Nap time was from 1:15 - 3:45! You woke up crying after sleeping for an hour, but i'm thakful you went back to sleep for another hour+! I enjoy the break of nap time!
After you woke up, we read a few books on the couch, and watched a few more minutes of "The Wiggles." Then we went out to Moreno Valley to get you a few pairs of play shorts...it was almost 100 degrees today! We got home about 5:15 and Daddy was home from work. You LOVE when Daddy gets home! We all played in the family room for a while. Fun stuff! I helped you practice your jumps for The Little Gym in the morning. You kept trying to sneak up behind me, and you would laugh hysterically! You would push my back with your arms, and you thought that was even funnier! You had both Daddy and I cracking up! Next was dinner time. You had veggies, fruit, and some yogurt. Go figure...thats ALL you will eat! You threw a FIT the night before when I offered you a chicken nugget and ketchup. I call you my little vegetarian. After dinner Daddy filled up the bath for you. I came in to take a few pictures since I don't have any recent bath pictures. All of the sudden, you lean over to the side, and take a big poop in the bathtub. Nice! I LOVE cleaning a poopy bathtub! (insert sarcasm here) :) We got the you and the tub cleaned up and then it was bedtime. After we played with you wrapped in your puppy towel of course! We bark and call you Carter the doggie...you love it. You pant like a dog the whole time. :) After a story, hugs, kisses and prayers....you were out for the night at 7:35. Sleep tight baby boy....hopefully past 6:12am!
