Watermelon Watermelon

He eats his weight in watermelon every week, it seems.

He eats it all the way down to the white part.

While he sings.

Then he asks for more-

-before he finishes the slice he has.

OFGS Downdate!

Down 2 lbs!

OFGS Update

The key word in the title there is UP. My weight is....officially....up.....I can ignore it NO LONGER.

It pains me to type it. I must tell, however. Because if I tell the interlooping public, then I will become accountable to my millions (Ha.) of readers and will get back on track.

Right?

So, I'm up.

6 lbs. GULP.

It's a slippery slope, people. A slope that I have slid down before. I have to dig my heels in and climb up again. My next update WILL be (it MUST be) an update of how I am down. A downdate. See you in a week.

The Rock Island Line IS a Mighty Good Road

Our mini vacation took us to Rock Island, Davenport, Moline and all points surrounding as we arrived at Train Festival 2011. We wanted to see steam engines because they don't run them around here anymore. I wondered why that was...now I know.

Steam trains stink, they are LOUD, they spit coal gunk at you and they are scary. But they are very cool anyway, and AJ had fun.

Look What AJ Did

He went all by himself.

Alone.

Blame Betty

It is no secret that I am odd. I'm okay with this. I make the family laugh by doing odd things and making odd faces and doing this in odd voices.

I get it from my mother.

AJ was feeling blue the other day. So we filmed "Mrs. Pinchy Face" and laughed for hours. Mike watched golf and shot me odd looks about my oddness.

still trying

we are still trying the potty over here. i have read once upon a potty so many times that i can recite it. aj has as many accidents as he has successes. it is all we do. i set the timer. he sits. he might pee. he might not. i set the timer for 3 min. in those 3 minutes, he will probably pee on the rug. sigh.

he'll get it eventually. right?
