Weekend Update

Posted by Jen Tuesday, February 28, 2006 11:24 PM
Yes, it is Tuesday, but I haven't written about the weekend ;) This past weekend was actually quite nice- Addie was feeling better and we were able to celebrate her little boyfriend's first birthday :) Gosh- in only four month that will be us. Time sure does fly.
I have been cleaning and organizing- oh such fun ;) Thankfully the biggest project is half way finished and I even ironed all of Tim's shirts that have been piling up forever. Yes it did take be almost 2 hours- but they are done and hopefully I won't have to do it again for a LONG LONG time.
We had another food battle with Micah tonite. This is getting really really old. We just wanted him to take a bite- one stinkin bite and he refused. He spit it and threw himself on the floor. The "punishment": he had to sit at his table staring at the food until he either tasted it or it was bedtime. He tried everything to get out of eating it- he lasted an hour and a half. Finally, his stubborness waned and he said he would taste it if Tim would take a bite. Needless to say, he actually liked it when he gave it a chance and ate almost his entire plate. (It was lasagna by the way) Thankfully he was pretty mellow the rest of the evening and hopefully this he can keep this incident in his mind the next time he refuses dinner.
I really should be cleaning up the dining room so I am going to close with this random picture. To find out why visit here. Will you take the challenge? :)

And here are some random thoughts to leave you pondering...
"The average North-American will eat 35,000 cookies in during their life span"
" Dirty snow melts faster than white snow because it's darker and absorbs more heat."
" The average American makes six trips to the bathroom every day-that's about 2 1/2 years of your life."

and last but not least... You want another cup of Coffee?
"There are more than 1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee. Of these, only 26 have been tested, and half caused cancer in rats."

    That coffee one is pretty intresting. I wonder how many people stop drinking it because of that fact? LOL, probably not many since it's the way the majority of the world functions.

    I am soooo guilty of making McKenna her own special dinner instead of making her eat what Erick and I eat. Maybe your post has inspired me to try differently. Maybe. I'm scared. LOL!
