And The Winner Is....

Okay, so I tried a little trivia and the answer is: Picture number one was the Month and day Adam and I found out that we are expecting our second child! The second picture was the time of night/day it was. I will spare you most of the details, but the best part of the story was that I forgot about the test and Adam actually found out before I did. What a surprise that was. Needless to say it was 12:25 am and we did not get a whole lot of sleep that night because we were so excited!

Picture Number One

Picture Number Two

And about the fish.... Well, we were finally able to "calibrate" the water for the tank and found four beautiful fish. Until a few days past and now we have three. I didn't know that fish were so sensitive. I guess Little Man and I will have to pet them more often... or we will have to keep Java away from the tank....

That's not really Little Man's fish it was just a cool picture, Little Man's fish are below....

Cranium Anyone???

A friend of mine asked me to update more than once a week, so I am easing into that trend with posting in 6 days versus 7...... Hopefully that will help a little. Well, for this post I thought I would make everyone think a little bit and look at the cropped pictures below and identify what the entire picture is. It's kinda like Turbo Cranium... so put on your Cranium Caps and let me know what your guess is......

You may have to squint a little for this one... it is definately an item that we are way too familiar with....anyone need another hint?

Swims Like A Fish.....

We have struggled for months with Little Man to wear floaties or a swimsuit with floaties and he has refused, torn them off, and screamed; so we felt we would table this issue for another time. Out of the blue this week I thought, let's try floaties again.... To our surprise, Little Man watched intensely as Big Man put on the floaties... no screaming... no fuss....just watched....

Adam and I were a bit in shock and didn't say much as Little Man climbed into the pool... still no fuss.... And seriously within minutes, Little Man was swimming, jumping off the side, and having the time of his life :) Then he started holding his breath and chasing rockets in the pool and smiling the whole time. Adam and I still looked at each other in amazement and I had to take lots of pictures and videos of the blessed event, in case this was a one and only anomoly.....

And while we are on the topic of fish, we have decided to add another pet to the household. And since Adam and I couldn't agree on a dog or cat, we settled for a fish or two or three or four. We ventured to Petco over the weekend for the big purchase and apparently we have been out of the fish owning world for awhile because we have to let the water "calibrate" for three to seven days before adding fish.... So here's our new pet ......

OUCH!!!

Little Man has a evening routine for getting ready for bed - I know the structured schedule is hard to imagine - which consists of brushing his teeth, grabbing his "hammers", and curling up with MaMa for a bedtime story. And since he entered into the toddler age of opinions he chooses the book. For the past several weeks, probably months, the book of choice has been Stanley Stinkbug Goes to Camp.

It all started as a normal night until Little Man started turning the pages super fast and ripped one. That's when the emotional connection with "OUCH" began..... He first started saying OUCH and then started crying and saying "OUCH BUG" "OUCH BUG"..... It took all my self control not to laugh and console him. I told him Stanley Stinkbug would be fixed tomorrow and everything would be okay. He continued to say "OUCH BUG" but cuddled up with Mom and finished the story.

Below is a small clip with Little Man saying "OUCH" (minus the tears)... it's priceless :)http://uncutvideo.aol.com/videos/d0dc830f0287abaf8eacd47e3848e930
