Thursday Already?

Once again the week has flown by! Am I getting old or what?

Emma and Rory had a play date on Tuesday while poor, patient Melissa attempted to give me instruction on digital scrap booking. I remain lost but willing to try. I know that if I ever figure it all out I will love it and I simply have not been able to find the time to scrapbook. Between all of Emma's appointments, I just can seem to find the time.


Emma and Rory were so cute together. They pushed each other on the tricycle and played in the kitchen and pushed shopping carts with baby dolls. They did have a Frito's episode where Emma "was not sharrrring" according to Rory. It was so cute how she said it. That problem was resolved and they then enjoyed another pack of Frito's.


Tuesday night Ashton had a ballgame where he sat on the bench the entire time. Broke my heart, but I have to keep those things to myself (that's why I'm sharing it with you:) They lost the game and now have one on Saturday. I'm hoping my boy gets some playing time.


Yesterday was spent on the road with therapy appointments and I have to brag on my girl who is doing so well with her speech. She has a LONG way to go still, but is improving every day. I have been told "good job" by her for the last 2 days. No matter what I'm doing, apparently I'm doing a good job:) She has also added the words shower and raining to her vocabulary. Her most frequently used word is "memes" which means pockets. This is an Emma word along with nanoo for poopie and pee. She loves pockets and only wants to wear jeans so she can stuff them full. Just last week she was with Bo at his parents house and was playing at pop's desk. After they left and she and Bo made another quick stop at TSC he noticed that she had her hands in her pockets and he found her to have a pair of fingernail clippers, 2 pairs of keys, a wing nut, a cough drop, and 11 cents. The child had lifted all of those things off pop's desk while Bo was busy. One day this week while changing her diaper 5 batteries rolled out of pocket and Brady said he caught her in Ashton's room about to lift a $5. I suspect he made that up only to lay the blame on her:) So my daughter is a clepto.


Today we had speech and made a trip to Kroger. I am trying to maintain my grocery challenge but it's hard. I did snag some great deals with 5 cups of Stoneyfield Organic yogurt for free and 6 packs of frozen Birdseye vegetables for free. I'm excited about trying a new recipe that I'm sure my men are going to like from the Pioneer Woman's cookbook. She has some amazing recipes and the pictures are beautiful. It makes me want to move to a ranch. If you don't have this cookbook it is worth the money. Oh, the recipe is for steak sandwiches and they look yummy. A perfect carnivore meal for my guys.


Quick update on Emma's doctor's visit....the electrolyte test was within normal limits and Dr. H has referred her case to a pediatric Endocrinologist just to make sure everything is okay. I think my girl just likes to drink a lot and has an overactive bladder. I guess I can sympathise:)
