Lost Post

I had these ready to go for something, but forgot.

SNOW DAY!!!

Last weekend we were lucky enough to be visited by Pop and Uncle Brian.

But most of my pictures are from Thursday--after Wednesday's storm. I hope our trees recover.

This is how we spent our time indoors:

Rich's old ski pants are even less flattering than I thought.

And for those of you back home--this IS our big sledding hill. And after pulling a 3-year-old up it a half dozen times, it does seem huge.

Mom's Visit, Part 2

Rebecca earned her trip to PetSmart, but the rest of GG's visit was spent mostly indoors, since poor Becca caught yet another cold for the season (her nose is STILL goopy). And a sick Rebecca is a cling-t0-her-mommy Rebecca, which was a bit of a shame. But we all still had fun together. Wednesday was bitter-sweet; Mom went home that afternoon, but Rich flew in late that night. Added bonus: Rebecca lets him help her blow her nose, even when she's tired.

This Week

Rich flew out on Tuesday afternoon. We moved his first flight up to beat the storm, and he spent the night at his mom's in Fort Lauderdale. On our way to the airport we stopped by Nana's office to pick up the keys to the Lauderdale place, and Nana gave Becca these adorable jammies.

Fortunately for us, my mom came out to keep Rebecca and me company. And we're having a great time.

Our New Chart

It got a little rough there for a bit, behavior-wise, and since putting her sit-and-spin on top of the fridge didn't make me feel like parent of the year, we opted for a new plan. Fifteen flowers and she gets a reward. The chart's a little bare right now, but it's working like a charm. She's going to bed without a struggle, picking up her toys, and listening. I love it!

For her first reward she chose another trip to the Discovery Museum.

And for her next reward (probably tomorrow) we're going to PetSmart--her choice. (Not to chose anything, it's just that she loves to look at all the animals. Man did I get off easy.)

Are You Straight Up Trippin' Daddy?

And then there was this:

Rebecca: If we eat it all we can just go to the store and get more. That's how stores work.

Mom: But you need money for the store.

Rebecca: That's right. That's right, sister.
