We went apple-picking with our neighbors on Saturday. There were 4 cars of us who went, and we all had a good time reaching for the biggest spotless apples we could find. I held Emma up a couple of time so she could grab an apple off the high branches...she had to grab on with both hands and PULL! She didn't like to let go of the apple once she picked it...trying to convince her to put it in the bag so she could get another one was almost a fruitless (no pun intended) effort. I made applesauce yesterday and it turned out great!!! We'll be eating it for days and days. It was a large pot...a little more than I intended.
I need to head to Lowe's in just a few minutes and buy a part to repair our toilet. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get a screw undone underneath the toilet to get the old part out. Not sure how to remedy this. I may have to get some help from a co-worker. I also want to price shelving while I'm there. We're in the midst of overhauling our downstairs, and I want to install some shelves on a particular wall. Our flooring will arrive on Thursday, so next Monday will be the first day of laying. I hope it goes smoothly and that we get it done quickly. I'm anxious to see the finished product.
Emma is turning into a little girl, even though she isn't yet 2 years old. Her language is expanding daily, and she's forming little sentences left and right. She's developing a little imagination, too, and likes to order "fwyed chickn and chino" for me -- that would be fried chicken and iced cappuccino -- from our neighbor's little Dora cash register. Grandma visited this past weekend and they had fun together. My mom brought Emma some Hello Kitty underpants, and I guess they were a big hit. She also got Emma a book about the potty, which we've read several times in the last couple of days. It would be great if Emma would catch on so that could wear the underpants daily! We need to break Emma of her pacifier soon. She's suddenly gotten really attached to it unlike ever before. People keep giving us suggestions of how to get rid of it....pretend someone else NEEDS her paci and ask if she'll give it to them, say it got lost, etc. Problem is, Emma's smart enough to realize that we have multiples! How do you get rid of 6 pacifiers at the same time? I don't think we can trick her out of all of them. Any other ideas?

Your home was nice the way it was, but I'm sure over hauling is always worth it too! Can't wait until we can do that in our house. As far as the paci goes, I think a lot of people just hide them all and make the child go through a rough withdrawal period....I don't know if I'd want to do that though....
how was the cruise?
