Day Twenty-seven (part 2) – I’m a Happy Helper
Well, the title is from what is possibly the most annoying Barney song ever. The big purple guy doesn’t bother me too much, at least not as much as I know he bothers others. But, this particular song gets under my skin and into my head and it won’t leave. It was brought to mind when Emily tried her best to “help” today.
What do you do when you spill your shredded cheese on the floor and Mom is busy talking to a neighbor?
You get the broom from the pantry and clean up your own mess, of course!
Then you do a little “bal-day” dance to celebrate your helpfulness !
Now, it should be noted that in the process of “helping” she managed to spread the shredded cheese approximately 4 feet from where she actually spilled it, and knocked some dishes off the counter behind her with the broom handle…but you have to applaud the effort!

Personally, I think it’s adorable.
Day Twenty-Six – Tuesday Tidbits
It’s not really Day 26, anymore. It’s not Tuesday, anymore, either. So this feels a little like “cheating.” But, if I’m the one who made the rules, then I’m allowed to break them. Right?
I’ve seen “Tuesday Tidbits” done on other blogs, along with “Wordless Wednesday,” “Thankful THursday” and I’m sue there are others taht people use. And, since Tuesday, Day twenty six was a pretty uneventful day, I thought I’d share a few little tidbits about our lives. They are in no particular order, and probbly of no particular interest ot anyone, but here they are:
1. Both the girls have November birthdays.
2. Their birthdays are only four days apart.
3. Isabelle’s middle name, Anne, is shared by both of her grandmothers and an aunt.
4. Emily’s middle name, Jayne, was the last name of the doctor who deliered her. I had picked “Jane” about mid way through the labor, but, when I noticed during the last contraction/push that the doctor’s last name (I was up close and personal with her name tag on her white coat at that point, and she was the on-call doc so I”d never met her before…) was spelled J a y n e, I decided to use that spelling.
5. I can watch almost any reality TV show and get hooked in mere minutes.
6. My favorite TV shows are: What Not to Wear, Ace of Cakes, Next Food Network Star, ANYTHING (almost) on Discovery Health, especially the mystery diagnosis shows, Bones and Flip that House.
7. I have never been to Disneyworld or Disneyland, or EuroDisney or any part of the Magic Kingdom, unless you count the Disney Store.
8. I have only been to Europe once and have only visited 12 states. I’ve been to Canada once and Mexico once.
9. The older I get, the more I wish I could travel with my kids.
10. The floor will not be getting cleaned tonight like I said in the previous post…I’m going to bed!
