I went to the "needle man" again yesterday. It hurt a little more than my visit before but he had things on both sides this time and in my ankles. He put on in my left shoulder and it stung so bad that he took it out after only 2 seconds.

DD's beloved doll has finally gone to heaven (aka the garbage...but not after much love and playing with the head barely hanging on.

DD sometimes just starts screaming for no reason. When she does that I put her in her room for her to calm down and stop scream (not really a time out for a break). I just ask her if she's done screaming and then she can come out. If she starts again then I put her back in there saying she needs to stop in order to come out because I don't want to hear it. Today though she had one of those moments because I wouldn't let her unload the dirty dishwasher as I was trying to load it. After shutting it 4 times, sitting on it, and then standing on it I put her in her room. She screamed for a while and then stopped. I found out she had opened her shorts drawer and PJ drawer and threw EVERYTHING on the floor in a heaping pile. I had just organized it the day before and was so frustrated! Don't you just love kids!! Ü

Dancing time!

Yesterday was a great day. I was able to go out to dinner with my two friends for the evening and shopping too. I got DD some clothes for her birthday and some new nursing bras for me that actually fit. It's amazing what a new bra can do! I also pulled out all of DD's 2T stuff and put away most of her 18 month stuff. She hardly has any tops so I went shopping last night and today for some. It was a lot of fun!

My friend helped me do grocery shopping last night and she also cleaned my bathroom for me since DH never got around to doing it (long story about that but I won't go into it) and playgroup was at my house today. She also helped me pick up the house since there were toys everywhere still from when I was gone that evening. She's the best ever!!! Another friend decided to stay and help me after playgroup since DH started working and we all decided to go to Old Navy after lunch and the babies woke up from their naps. It was DD's nap time but she did great!

We had ice cream for the kids here afterward and then my friend went home and DD threw a temper tantrum about not being able to throw all of LMs clothes on the floor. She wouldn't stay in time out so I told her it was nap time. She was acting exhausted. I was only going to let her sleep for an hour since it was 4:30pm but fell asleep at 5 myself after laying the baby down and DD woke us up at 6:30pm. She was still tired tonight and went to bed at her normal time! I loved the nap too.

DH put the soccer ball up by LM and he LOVED it. He would grab it and slap it with his hands. It was pure joy in his eyes.

I went to a gardening class tonight while my dad watched the kids for me. It was so neat. I learned a lot about covering blueberry bushes, using a drip system to mark the garden and then planting, herbs, and using starts. It was wonderful. I also came home with some starts of chives, oregano, and a Cow Lilly plant! I'm so excited to plant them. I pray they survive.

I got home and put DD to bed and DH came home from work and a meeting. He got her a toddler bed I found on craigslist for $5!!!! It's so cute too. I think tomorrow we will transition her if DH gets home early enough to put it together for her. I then fed LM and headed to my friends for scrapbooking and got three more pages done for DD's book! It was a busy but fun day. I pray my back holds up tomorrow and I didn't completely over do it.
