Bye Bye Binky ..... and an ugly old kitchen!

So we finally did it! I told Braden when he turned three we would have to say bye bye to the beloved binky, and he did so well! He took it to school and gave it to the babies! He thought he was doing them such a great favor that he hasn't really asked for it until tonight. We talked about how awesome it was for him to give it to someone that needed it, and that seemed to "pacify" him! Ha No pun intended! Ok, maybe I intended it a little. Anyway, here's his last picture with his good friend ....
We spent last night at Phyllis' house watching her crew! It was exhausting, rewarding, and a bit eye-opening. I learned a few things

1. Always check the freezer before you buy 5 popsicles from the icecream man

2. check the baby to see if she's wet BEFORE you pick her up and wrap your arms around her

3. point the FULL baby away from your face when you are burping her when she is a known spewer

4. I must really LOVE Phyllis!

5. Make sure your backup (Christi) doesn't have a stomach virus before you invite her over! (sorry I made you clean up your own vomit! I love you!)

6. You can never get enough Spongebob - thank God for Spongebob marathon weekend!

Another little bit of info on our lives ..... my Dad is nuts! He somehow went from going shopping to help pick out linoleum floor for my kitchen to volunteering to tile my floor, redo my countertops, paint my cabinets/walls/appliances, and putting in a new sliding door! Go Jeeps! So stay tuned for some cool before and afters over the next few weekends. I have a horrible outdated kitchen!
