technology wiz!

Somehow B has become a technology wiz. Today she figured out how to turn on the living room tv, turn on the blueberry player, get it to the right imput, and start her video. All by herself. 

The other day I found an old iPod shuffle that Daddy got for a Christmas present one year and we could never get to work. So I pulled it out and tried it again after restoring all the settings... And it worked.

So the girls now share their own iPod! It is filled with the likes of Backyardigans, Barbie, The Wiggles, Barney and Disney favorites.

And that same day B had been playing a matching game on my iPhone. She then got out of that and found a way to call her Grammie and reprogram some of my other phone numbers and functions. 

They learn so young!

A perfect post for the blog. And a perfect reminder to just live life!

What Did I Do Today?

Author Unknown

What did I do today?

Today I left some dishes dirty

The bed got made around 3:30

The diapers soaked a little longer

The odor grew a little stronger

The crumbs I spilled the day before,

Are staring at me from the floor

The fingerprints there on the wall

Will likely be there still next fall

The dirty streaks on the windowpanes

Will still be there the next time it rains

Shame on you, you sit and say,

Just what did you do today?

I held a baby till she slept

I held a toddler while he wept

I played a game of hide and seek

I squeezed a toy so it would squeak

I pulled a wagon, sang a song

Taught a child right from wrong

What did I do this whole way through?

Not much that shows, I guess that's true

Unless you think that what I've done, 

Might be important to someone

With deep blue eyes and soft dark hair, 

If that is true... I've done my share.

 Mmm Fall off the bone, crispy, mouthwatering delicious ribs.That was dinner tonight.

I mixed a dry rub of brown sugar, garlic, salt and pepper and paprika and rubbed it on the night before.

Then this afternoon put the ribs in a low temperature oven with a can of cold coke poured over top.

After they slow roasted for a few hours I pulled out our new indoor grill and put it up high and put the ribs on to crisp up with some yummy honey garlic BBQ sauce! Mmmm after a couple minutes on both side they were crisp and mouthwatering and fell completely off the bone!

B also had her swimming lessons today! 4th class of Salamander and she blew bubbles and did assisted floats and got to play in PFD's and a fun foam boat! She is getting more comfortable and seems to really love her swimming lessons!

And park day today! B even went down new slides today all by herself! She is gaining much more confidence! It is great to see!

C also likes going down slides but she likes to go backwards on her tummy ;) 

And mommy also got to take B down the big twisty scarey red slide!





The rest of the time C wanted to sit in the swing and be pushed. It was a no nap day and she was TIRED!
