Pee Pee Frog

Meet pee pee frog. Tiny, rubber frog that the kids play with. It streteches. And is sticky too - thus all the fuzzies on it. One day Peri was playing with it and then lost it. Imagine our joy at seeing it fall out of her diaper (this was back when she wore diapers) when we went to change it. Of course we immediately started tossing around the frog at each other and yelling "pee pee frog!"We are all just kids...

Lost!

Nick, Peri and Chris were super busy last weekend. Soccer, hockey, birthday parties, a trip to Ikea (no!), errands...So when Sunday night came and Iris was missing, we hoped she was in C's car. Nope. Poor Iris!

We started with the last place they remembered having her (water park birthday party) and talked to a nice young lady named Nicole. We tried to describe Iris ("a dirty pink/purple/mauvey elephant. well loved.") Nicole went looking and came back saying "I think I found it. Kinda looks like an elephant." I asked if it had black velvet on its tail and we had a match.

New Teeth

Look at Nick's adult teeth!


Just kidding! But he has lost his two bottom teeth. More like they just fall out of his mouth because the new ones are coming in so fast.

The other night he came in our room around 10pm to show us his tooth had fallen out. I was too tired to get up and take care of everything. I always get up before the household, so figured there would be plenty of time in the morning. You can imagine his dismay the next morning when the tooth was still in the tooth pillow. Oops! We explained that the tooth fell out late and he was up early, so the tooth fairy probably hadn't had time to get the text about needing to get to his house. But while he was downstairs complaining about her not coming, she came! Woo hoo!

Helicopter

Everytime we go to Walgreen's, Nick sees a remote control helicopter and goes nutty over it. While Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop were in town over Thanksgiving, Nick and Mom-Mom went to Walgreen's to pick up Uno. And came back with a remote control helicopter. Nick was SO excited! Nick and I flew it around the house, but weren't so good at controlling it. Basically the helicopter flying from ground to ceiling in two seconds and then crashing. Chris got ahold of it and took it outside. Nick begged him not to. He'd seen an episode of Modern Family where the boys lose a remote control flying thing. I told him not to worry. So out Chris goes. And up the helicopter goes. And goodbye helicopter. REALLY?! Technically it just went over the neighbors roof and got stuck in their gutter. See the tiny spec on the right hand side?

So handyman Chris rigs up a lasso from our bedroom door. We stood on the deck and laughed (except for Nick who was crying) until he actually lassoed the thing! But one quick tug and the helicopter was just further in the gutter.

I still think the laugh was worth $20.

Poop on the Floor

Come on, it's been a while since we had one of these stories...

So Peri is potty trained and rockin it. Most days...When she says she has to go, you run like hell to get her to the nearest bathroom. She also likes to say "I pooping" when she really just needs to pee. We were at Nick's hockey game and Peri gave the signal. We ran, got there in time. Yay! And no poop. Until I got her pants on, both of our hands washed and turned around to find a piece of poop on the floor. Huh?!?!? Whose is that? How'd it get there. No way is that ours, is it? So I used 50+ paper towels and cleaned up the poop and we moved on with life.

A few nights later we're eating dinner and Peri says "I pooping". So I run her to the bathroom and we make it in time. And no poop. Until I look on the floor. Seriously?! The only thing we can figure is that in my haste to get her pants down and fling her on the toilet, I'm also flinging some poop out of her pants or bum.



Good times!

Definitely not on the xmas card...

Santa Came!

Love Christmas!!! Peri opened up her princess dress first and wore it the rest of the day. Actually until dinner when she spilled her sparkling grape juice all over it and the floor.



Nick couldn't open his gifts fast enough. Made him promise to never take apart the Ninjago Temple that took us 2 days to build.
