Our Crazy Weekend

What a weekend! We hosted the kids birthday parties this year. We had to do them both this weekend, since their birthdays are so close together and the way the weekends are split for Jason's visitation. Jordan had two boys come spend the night and Jason took them to Dave and Busters. Sophia wanted a birthday with the girls in her class. So, we went to Going Bonkers in Lewisville.

Even though it was very busy, I think the kids really had a good time with their friends.

Jordan's only request was that the girls were gone so him and his friends could have a really fun night without being bothered. He didn't have to ask me twice. I took the girls and spent the night with my parents. We went out to eat and Sophia got to be sung to...

I think she enjoyed being the center of attention!


All these girls. Whew!



I think Avery enjoyed it too.


Got the girls some fun favors...


We really enjoyed getting to be a part of her birthday and watching her open presents. Did you know that Jason hasn't been invited to ANY of her birthday parties? They got divorced as she was turning one and hasn't ever been asked to come. We went through a little challenge even to be able to do this, this year. But from now on, we will get to throw their parties every other year.



From what I was told, the boys had a great time and stayed up almost all night. I am so glad I wasn't here.

I swear, they look so OLD in this picture!














They all got prizes!












Today, we decided to let the kids play in the water. Fun day!




Just so we are all clear, I don't like two piece bathing suits for little girls. Don't ask me why. But she had no bathing suit that fit and two pieces were all they had when I made a quick trip to the store.

We even put the sprinkler on the trampoline. The kids LOVED it.


I am tired just looking at these pictures! Bedtime!

That makes me sad that he hasn't been invited to her parties, but I'm not surprised. We went through the same thing. We were told that we could have a separate party if we wanted to, which we did for a couple of years. After many many disagreements, we finally came to the conclusion that we would take turns throwing their birthday parties and the other parent would be invited. It has gotten better since then. I'm glad you guys came to an agreement, too. :)

Yeah. We are doing the every other year thing too, but we are doing them completely seperate. Things aren't always fair, are they. :-(

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...
