Swim team




Charlotte and Sydney have been working so hard this past month on swim team, and I'm really proud of them. Sydney looks like one of those bath flipper toys, her feet just go so fast in the water. And Charlotte keeps getting stronger and stronger, her butterfly is amazing. I can't wait to see how they do in their first meet!

Steam-cleaning and the projectile vomit...

The past week or so I've been steam-cleaning all our carpets. It's actually been kind of fun, I really like "discovering" how dirty my seemingly clean house really is (I know, it's a sickness). We got new carpeting about 8 months ago, and I hadn't steam-cleaned it yet, I just kept thinking it was new. I vacuum twice a week, we have a no-shoes-in-the-house policy, and I literally wipe the dog's feet before she comes in the house, so I felt confident it was clean. Well, let me say, it's disgusting how much dirt is really on your floors. I have a Bissell ProHeat, and I love it. It's easy to use and scrubs really well without snagging our berber.
So, after getting all the floors truly clean, Charlotte got an upset stomach Friday night after eating tacos, and she projectile vomited in a large arc right across the carpet in her room. Gross, I know, which is why I spared you pictures in this post. I didn't even know you could projectile vomit at her age, I thought that was just an infant thing.
Anyway, so I spent the rest of the night cleaning the floors AGAIN! But hey, now they are really, super clean, right?

Sydney knocked out her own chiclets!



Sydney lost her first tooth! She knocked it really loose eating an apple at dinner and then just wiggled and wiggled it and... voila - out it came.

Medieval Times




I'm trying to post more this year, and I think 2 posts in one week is pretty good...

We took Charlotte to Medieval Times to celebrate her birthday and had so much fun. That place is really cool, I was impressed. Afterward we were talking about our favorite parts of the show, and Charlotte said the whole thing was her favorite - a birthday success!
