New Fun Toys

We are constantly finding that Hannah is becoming more and more interested in some of her older toys like her Baby Einstein play gym, becoming bored of old toys like the Bumbo, and ready for new toys like her new excersaucer! Last night, Stuart, Hannah, and I went Toys R Us for a pack and play and left with an exersaucer, a pink umbrella stroller, water guns, foam swords (the last two for Stuart!), a pack-and-play, and a sheet for the pack-in-play. I think that is it. I have convinced Stuart that we need a pack-and-play so that Hannah can sleep in our room once the cradle is gone. *Not that Hannah is going to permanently live in our bedroom, but just in case, she wants (Mommy wants) to sleep in our room, I would rather her be in a pack-and-play than in our bed. Anyways, just clearing that up. Hannah will eventually have to let her friend Aubrey borrow her cradle when she arrives this July. Stuart actually had a really good time at Toys R Us and we are really looking forward to shopping for Hannah in the next few years. We were on our way to check out when Stuart found an entire isle of toy Home Depot tools! (An entire isle???) I thought I may have to leave him there until the store announced that they were closing in 5 minutes and I really wanted to get home to watch the American Idol finale that I Tivo'd. Stuart stayed up really late putting together our newest toy which is a huge hit!

Not too much else going on around here. Stuart and I have been walking the neighborhood with Hannah and the dogs during the evenings and this week I made a commitment (and followed through) to cook dinner and cut out Sonic drinks. I cooked 3 out of 4 nights so far and have not had a Sonic drink once. Not that I am giving up on Sonic forever, I just feel that 3 to 4 Route 44 Diet Cokes with Vanilla and Cream a day was getting a little excessive. Even though I have am still using my gift card I got for Mother's Day...

Thankfully, most of my TV show seasons are winding down and I can spend a little bit more time studying for my up-coming exam. Last weekend I got a lot of studying done but this weekend, Susie and Jason will be in town so we will probably spend time with them and I won't get much done. On another note, I have had this sinus crud again all week and now Hannah has it. Poor Hannah! She is so snotty! She didn't sleep well at all last night because of it and didn't nap much today. I did get her a decongestant called in so hopefully that will help her sleep better tonight.

And, for my final thought... Does anyone else watch (and love) the show Jon and Kate Plus 8? Oh, it is my favorite!!! It comes on like 4 or 5 times on Monday nights on TLC (Channel 33 here). If you haven't seen it before, I highly recommend you TIVO or DVR it this Monday for a lot of episodes. Even Stuart enjoys it. These lovely people have two sets of multiples twins and sextuplets! They are so cute and so funny! Always something funny happening there! You have to watch!
