Popsicles

Since poor Savannah had almost nothing to eat or drink for about 24 hours due to her stomach bug, I asked the pediatrician if it was OK if I gave her some Popsicles. That's what I always got when I had a stomach bug and we've actually never given her one to eat, which is weird, considering what treat aficionados we are.

She was so good in HEB (local grocery store) that I gave her one when we got in the car. Also, see above - poor kid is so thirsty. She took a few licks and this was our conversation:

S: "This is good. It's like a lollipop."
Me: "I'm glad you like it. "
S: "Mama, you bought the best Popsicles.....these are SO good."
Me: "I know and do you know what? You can have as many as you want today because Popsicles are a 'feel better food'."
S: "Thank you SO much for getting these Popsicles. I think I'm going to start by eating four."

Quick Dallas Trip

I took a quick less than 48 hours trip up to Dallas last week while Conor was in Seattle. One day Grandpa, myself and Savannah went to a ranch near McKinney to pick pumpkins and do other cool stuff. It was super fun!

Feeding the goats and the cows was defintely the highlight for Savannah.

Hayride!

Tenders

So it's that time of year in Texas when the weather trends cooler for a few days and we all have to wear pants and socks instead of flip flops and shorts for about three days. It's supposed to be back at 80 by tomorrow.

Anyway, I bought Savannah some cool weather clothes the other week, but they are all a little big on her. She also has a pair of suspenders that she plays with, but doesn't generally wear.

As she was pulling up her pants for 5,000th time this morning, she looked at me and said "Mama, I think I need to put my tenders on. " So CUTE!

Pumpkin Patch Visit

The first of many, I'm sure.

This was a cute little one down in Buda (pronounced B-yoo-da) for the non-Texans.

The New Toy Room!!!!!

I was waiting until the toy room was clean, but this is about as good as it gets.

Here it is in all it's blue glory - I love how this turned out!!!!!!!!!

I need to put some art on the walls, but the new curtains are making me happy!! Especially since I got them on sale.

VP Debate Drinking Game

Thursday! A debate for the ages! Two contestants, one vice presidency! Who will earn the honor of succeeding Dick Cheney?

In the blue corner Joe “I take the train home” Biden. In the red corner Sarah “I can see Russia from my house” Palin.

Blue Team Rules

For every mention of Scranton, Pennsylvania: Take a sip.

When Biden begins the “I take the train home everyday story” being drinking. Don’t stop ’till he finishes.

When Biden questions Palin’s inexperience: Drink something you’ve never had before

When Biden makes an obvious gaffe: Spill your neighbor’s drink

When Biden uses X words when Y will do: Drink X-Y seconds

When Biden patronizes or self identifies with the working class: Down some brew (Bonus points if you use Miller Highlife)

The Joe Biden checklist. If he mentions all of the following, finish your drinks: Blue Collar, Golden Parachute, Little Guy, Washington Insider, Working Class, Clean


Red Team Rules

Every time Palin cites Alaska’s proximity to Russia as “foreign policy experience”: Take a shot of vodka

When Palin claims she said “Thanks but no thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere: Demand a new drink from your hosts, say “thanks but no thanks,” and then when no one’s looking, take it anyway, then claim you never wanted it.

When Palin recounts putting the governor’s jet on eBay: Auction off a beer to your friends

When Palin insists that governing a small town in Alaska is in fact experience: Give your friend a shot glass of beer when he/she asks for a pint and insist it’s the same thing.

When Palin points out that Biden thought Obama was too inexperienced for the job: Finish your drink and say, “Oh Snap!” If you’re a democrat, follow this by crying.

When Palin claims that Washington’s problems can be solved by small town know how and common sense: Drink a Labatt Blue as you read up on how to become a Canadian citizen.

When Palin talks about being the most popular governor in the country: Go to a room by yourself, realize you’re the most popular person in the room, then finish your drink.

The Sarah Palin checklist. If she mentions all of the following, finish your drinks: Bush Doctrine, Snow Machine, Moose, Lipstick, Hockey Mom, Family Values

Overheard in the middle of the night on the monitor

"Where's Mama?"

"She's probably in her office working....checking her email"

"Maybe her and Daddy are watching football....I hope the Moo-Cows win!"

"Maybe hockey....yeah, Mama and Daddy are watching hockey and then some football"

"Don't worry, they're just watching football....and checking their emails"
