The Top 5 Things You Should Never Have to Say To Another Mother While Playing With Your Children In The Play land At The local Mall

(Or any other public place parents and children gather to play)
I'm sorry this list is only a top 5 however a top 10 list would have required me to stay at play land longer..... and that was just not happening!

#5. When your child beats on their sibling for no reason you might want to get involved. I promise you, you can sip that Starbucks all day but unless you get up... they ain't stopping honey!

#4. When your 2 year old is running around randomly pushing and smacking other peoples children in the face you might want to do something... other than smile!

#3. When your child is digging through other peoples strollers and taking things you may want to tell them NO before all the strangers who own the strollers have too! Once again smiling is just not enough!

#2.When play land smells like the public bathrooms at the beach on a 100 degree day and all the mothers around you have checked their children's diapers and came up with nothing....IT'S YOUR CHILD!

And the number one thing you should never have to say to another mother while playing with your children in the play land at your local mall is........

#1. I can see that your child enjoyed that chocolate chip cookie he ate earlier. Now could you please clean him up so my daughter will stop crawling through it and licking it off her hands!

Nathan Update!

Nathans appointment in Cleveland went great, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome! He is officially in REMISSION and shows no signs or symptoms of juvenile arthritis. We were encouraged to keep Nathan active in sports to help him maintain his muscle strength and flexibility. Which has been our goal all along. He has now been released from the care of his rheumatologist and will only go back if another flare up occurs.

Nathan is playing soccer and has games every Saturday morning in Sandusky! If you would like to help cheer him on come on out and join us!

As always are afternoon at Chuck E Cheese's was also fun! Lilli was able to participate for the first time and she loved it! Ski ball seemed to be her favorite thing I'm not sure if it was because she could throw the balls and they would come back to her every time. Or if it was that climbing up on the game made her feel like a queen on her throne!

Nathan won more tickets then he has ever won before with a grand total of 433. Which resulted in a ton of Chuck E Cheese loot for mom to pick up all over the house!

We also made a stop at the Great Northern Mall which which could have been fun but it wasn't and that's my next blog..."The Top 5 Things You Should Never Have to Say To Another Mother While Playing In The Play land At The Mall"

Getting things around to head for Cleveland for the day. Nathan has a check up with the rheumatologist. (arthritis doctor) He has been off all his meds for 3 months :) and I'm hoping to keep it that way! Today is also Nathans First day of Preschool too bad he's missing it :( I'm sad ... he's not! He knows when we go to these long and tedious appts. he is rewarded by an afternoon at Chuck E Cheeses! I'll post later to let you know how things went!

A FUN DAY!

These are some of the pictures from our latest trip to the African Safari Wildlife Park!

It's a wildlife park you drive through and feed the animals from you car. We've been taking Nathan there since he was very little so he's not afraid! He loves it!

Unlike his mother....Even a 50lb boa does not bother him! (I asked when he was last fed before I agreed to let Nathan hold him! It had only been 24hrs so we were good! LOL)

Sometimes you'll here him let out a scream from the back seat. Then that's followed by a laugh that that melts your heart!

On this particular visit this albino zebra was expecting! We're hoping when we return we will see her baby! If anyone is interested in joining us on our next trip let me know! It will be Lilli's first visit so I'm anticipating a very fun day with some great pictures!

When I Grow Up.... I Wanna Be Famous!

I THINK SHE'S DESTINE FOR FAME!

Shes growing up and definitely demands your attention! She spends everyday showing the world that shes a girly girl! Pearls and sunglasses are her new favorite thing!
"It's all about me!"

Were Back Up And Running

Yeah are computer is finally fixed and I can blog again! Our computer needed more RAM so blogging was becoming a very long and time consuming process that I did not have the time or patience for. We ordered new ram and now its making a world of difference! Hopefully I can now get back into the swing of blogging at least once a week. We have been so busy lately that I have tons to blog about. So instead of back tracking I'm just going to pick up where we are now! We have trips to the zoo planned, Nathans getting ready to start soccer and Lilli will be walking someday soon! Be sure to get in the habit of checking in again, you don't want to miss a thing!
