Out with the bath water

Horrible thing happened last night while bathing the little mister. I was scrubbing him all up when suddenly..."plop." I thought one of the toys had fallen off the side of the tub. Worse, much, much, worse. It was my Droid. Ugh. It gives me the willies just thinking about it. I scooped it up and dried it off. Turned it on. It was working. Thank goodness I thought. Soon I began to notice some small hmmmmm....bleeps, I will call them. I pretended to not notice, but soon the screen fogged up and everything stopped. I took it all apart and placed the pieces in a jar of rice as I heard that rice will suck the moisture out. This morning....nothing. Dead. As. A. Door. Nail.

Panic attack. Seriously I was beside myself. What was I going to do? That Droid held all my stuff. My life. What was I to do? We don't have a land line. When Todd came home and noticed my complete insanity he quickly ran to Verizon to try to remedy the situation. Of course it would cost nearly $500 to replace my beloved Droid. So, in the end I found myself holding my old un-smart flip phone, complete with princess stickers. Still frazzled, my super sweet man bought a Droid for me on Ebay and I have only to wait a couple days for delivery.

Moral of the story....never, and I mean never, bathe your children with a smart phone in your pocket.

What is this white stuff?

Little dude had his first experience with the fluffy white stuff a couple of weeks ago. You see it snowed, and snowed and snowed for days and days. It got really, really cold, too. At one point I had stopped at Target for supplies and the minute I removed him from the car his little eyes teared up and ran down his chubby cheeks and the chill literally took his breath away. Later that day when I showed him a handful of snow he burst into tears. Days later T and the Empress began work on their annual snow cave in the front yard and Greer was suddenly bundled and set in the middle of the cold wet stuff. Pictures show a short sled ride (which did not impress him) and him finally beginning to enjoy his winter wonderland.

Auntie

Love my sis. She is the best Auntie in the whole world.

Hunting for Wabbits

Last night we had a lovely little get-together for our little man. It was a lot of fun and a bunch of our friends showed up to meet and greet Greer. Auntie Sue-Sue came down on Saturday to spend some time and attend the party and BB and Papa Joe did too. Greer did very well with the group of people in the house. It was a bit overwhelming I imagine, as it was for me as well, but he did great. Maybe a bit clingy, but clingy can be pretty sweet sometimes. He pounded a big piece of chocolate cake in record time. He literally stuffed in handfuls. It was awesome. He received some very nice gifts, including the beautiful knit hat he is wearing in the picture. I think he looks very handsome in his hat....like he is about to go hunting for wabbits. Hehehe
