Now that I am pretty much caught up on my blog reading/dishwashing/DVR watching/general picking up the house...I thought I would catch everyone up on a few things.
1. "Operation No Paci" is underway. When Matt and I returned from Houston on Sunday, we threw all the pacifiers away (well, all that we could find...I am sure there are a few lurking out there). So far, so good! She went to bed pretty good last night and slept all night. Today's nap was a little different. Not necessarily in a bad way, but she sat in her crib and talked, sang, and jumped for about 45 minutes before finally falling asleep...but no crying...so I am not complaining! So far, SUCCESS!
2. We discovered the mysterious culprit of the previously mentioned flood and the latest back up of the kids toilet yesterday....a WADDED UP WASHCLOTH! Mystery solved to the tune of $200. So, now, after weeks of training Max to not use too much toilet paper, we now have to train little miss Cate, no wash cloths in the toilet!!!!! Fun times...yes, fun times!
3. I have absolutely no voice. It actually comes in handy because I can't yell at the kids, but it is a major pain when you forget all about it and answer the phone but can't speak or you go to the drive-thru and suddenly can't place an order! I hope it comes back soon. Max has been pretty cute about it asking me, "Where did it go, Mommy?" or "When is it coming back?" or "Who took it?" However, he did have concern that he would lose his if he simply coughed! I had to set that record straight as he struggled in the back seat to hold in his simple cough.
4. The Celine Dion concert in Houston was FABULOUS! After going to Vegas to see her in Oct 2007 only to find out an hour before showtime that she was cancelling due to illness, I was thrilled to get the opportunity again. Matt was just glad he didn't have to pay for plane fare or a dinner at Spago this time! While in Houston, we also visited with several friends, slept in and relaxed as much as we both could (despite the coughing and aformentioned lost voice)!
5. I received several blog awards from friends while I was away from my blogging. Lynette gave me a "Your Blog is Fabulous Award" and I have to list my 5 addicitons. Here they are: Dr. Pepper, Reality TV, anything Disney, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and most recently, blogging!

I also received an Honesty award from Jen (but that's a whole 'nother post. Hint, hint - check back Thursday)
Thanks for stopping by, checking in and catching up! Have a great week!

I have loved your latest blogs although I have not commented--at least your dad and I are fairly sure we were careful with the kids,but wash cloths can be a surprise---also if we had known that giving up paci would be so easy we could have tried it while you were in Houston. Missyou aoready- hope you are better see you before tooooo long. Mom
GOod luck with the paci....I did the same thing we went cold turkey...I found pacifiers in the strangest places for years to come!
A washcloth in the toilet.at least it wasn't the phone as in a commercial I have seen.
Operation Paci sounds like it's working - good luck. I had to get rid of a thumb. Not easy but it helps to have someone of authority (dentist) speak to the thumb sucker. Hope you feel better and can't wait to read your post.
Congrats on your awards! And I LOVE Reese's PB cups too!
Oh no--I'm sorry about your voice, but good job on the paci removal!
Glad you had fun at the concert!!
Good Luck with the paci - did the same thing with Meghan and really she did fine - I think it took her 3 days!
I'm going to grab your button - it is to cute. Grab mine if you want - yes, it is shameless self promotion! :-)
