Catch up

It's been a busy couple weeks again. Bob and I went on a weekend trip to celebrate my birthday and my parents came and stayed with Parker. From what they all told me, things went well. We have had a rough few days of Grandparent Detox though....Parker quickly grew accustomed to having all her wishes met and constant attention paid to her, and it wasn't easy re-adjusting to real life with boring busy mommy.

A couple weeks ago Parker announced she'd prefer drinking her juice out of a teacup. I tried to offer her a coffee cup, but she specifically wanted a teacup....like her little tea party set has. I got her these kind. I hope it's all she thought it would be.



We had a happy visit to the mailbox this week. Parker's cousin Emily's cats sent her a letter showing off their Halloween costumes. Parker's favorite part was that they 'signed' their names in little green cat footprints. I have no explanation as to why she is wearing wings. She wore them constantly for 2 days. Every time she turned around, they would swipe clean the refrigerator or a counter top, knocking all the clutter to the floor.


And this picture will interest about 2 readers (if that) . I made potato pancakes last night. I had some leftover mashed potatoes, so I figured this would be a nice way to use them. The green stuff is fresh parsley. Parker and Bob both ate one, but weren't exactly blown away. I thought they turned out pretty good.
