Lesson Learned
Kaelyn and I went shopping at Old Navy. We shopped their clearance because they had a 50% off the marked clearance price. We look at all kinds of stuff. We talked and laughed and really enjoyed our time together. We went to a few other store and I was looking at swim suits and Kaelyn decided she wanted to help me find one. She made a comment about each one she saw, "Too shinny", "Too big", "I don't like that color", "This on is cute", wow that one has holes in it" and on and on. She sure has an opinion. I was at first a little embarrassed but then I realized she was being really cute. I really started to laugh when she blurted out really loud...."Mom a lot of these swim suits are so not modest" she said this with such an attitude. I was so proud of her for catching on so young. Lance and I must be doing something right! Love you Kaelyn Thanks for being such a great listener.

Awsome Deal
So Target send me an e-mail once a week to inform me of what is on sale for the week. I was so excited to see that an Instep Bike Trailer that was normaly $100.00 is on Sale for $84.00. I showed it to Lance and he said well if you plan on using it then get it. So Monday morning I got up fed the kids got them dressed and we headed to Target. It felt like Christmas. I bought it brought it home and put it togather in the spot. Jordan Could not waite to get in it. She ran and got her baby doll to let her ride in it. I hooked it to my bike and we were off. Kaelyn and Cohen rode their bike and scooter on the sidewalk next to me around the neighborhood. Can I just say I love it!!!! Jordan didn't want to get out. Infact I unstraped her and she hung on to the straps to so I couldn't get her out. I prommised her we would go again latter. I am so looking for ward to our next ride.

Toilet Trouble
To start off I want to say how much I love my Husband. He is my "Mr. Fix It" I would have taken pictures but he would not have been too happy about it. Now on to the story!
In our house there are a few rules like any other home I am sure. The most important rule right now it "Shut the bathroom door" and I don't mean while you are using it. I mean when you are done. Why you ask. Good question. Jordan our 22 month old is fascinated by the ability to flush the toilet. If she hears that someone is in the bathroom she runs to the bathroom so she can flush the toilet for you. Well a few weeks ago Cohen came out of the bathroom claiming that the toilet was filling with water. I dropped everything I was doing to save the day. The toilet was clog but didn't over flow thankfully. I used the plunger to no avail. I went online to see what else I could do to unclog the toilet. I found a sight that said to squirt dish soap into the toilet and then from hip height pore hot water into the toilet. It didn't work! but I read latter that if you child has flushed a toy down the toilet this would not work. (although if you don't have a plunger this remedy will work) This is when I came to the realization that Jordan had flushed something. I thought to my self I have to call Lance. I was hoping that I could fix it before he got home from work. Not the case. Lance tried and tried. He tried plunging it, Snaking it, Plunging again, and then snaking again. I even bought a new plunger since ours was getting old and the rubber was cracking. after a week of trying everything that we could think of he told me to call a plumber. I called around and got estimates. The best price was $85.00 to take the toilet off and fish out what was flushed by Jordan. I called Lance to tell him the news and he said "I can do that myself and save the $85.00" I tried to talk him out of it worried he wouldn't be able to do this himself with out costing us more money. Well.... Lance got home and after the kids went to bed (so he wouldn't have and audience I am sure) he did it. I helped a little bit. This hole time I thought Jordan had flushed a small rubber duck but I was soooo wrong. To my surprise she had flushed an empty bubble bottle. You know the cheep ones you get in a 6 pack at Walmart. So now the toilet is working and the kids don't have to use the master bathroom. Now I will be putting a lock on The bathroom door so that Jordan can't get in to prevent this from happening again.
