How to save a buck

If anyone needs to make shorts just cut off the legs on the pants!! What a brilliant idea is what I thought when Danny suggested tonight to cut off Kassidy's "long pants" jammies to make them shorts since it's 150 million degrees in AZ! So here's the end product...homemade "shorts" jammies. :) Since she has like 20 pairs now we don't have to buy any!!

Ahhh...

who couldn't love this precious face (I'm talking about Kassidy)!!! LOL. She looks so grown up :)

We took this picture last week before going to church. Did I ever tell you we don't go until 3pm!! Yes, we call it midnight mass, LOL.

The battle is on...

and who is going to win.

The girl in the left corner or the girl in the right corner?

...we shall see but it better be me!!

Everything is such a battle now with Kassidy that I think she's spending most of her days crying, throwing a fit or sitting in time out. She's 2 1/2 and won't take no for an answer and going shopping with her...oh boy, it's a chore. I am now resorting to bringing back her stroller when we go into places with no carts so she can spend time outs in there. She was pretty good and I felt kinda lucky and now all of a sudden terror child has come out! How do you deal? I don't know!

What does soda smell like?

Kassidy has never had a soda, sad I know, I'm such a mean mom.

So I'm pouring a soda to eat with my taquitos and she stands up on her chair and says "I wanna smell your soda".

She smells my soda and says "it smells good".

So Danny asks her "what does soda smell like?"

She looks at him for a second and replies "like soda".

LOL!

Here's another one:

I gave her a popsicle after she ate dinner and I said to her "ok chickadee, pick a color".

So she says to me "i'm not chickadee I'm Kassdidy". (she can't pronounce her name yet without adding an extra d in there)

Ants, ants and more ants!

Danny's mom bought a house here in AZ and hoping to move here sooner than later if her job will allow her to work from home but if not she will move when she retires. So we go out to her property today because she hired some workers to come and clear away all of all the weeds that had accumulated and as we were leaving we saw the biggest ant hole mound ever! Danny took these pics with my cell phone so you can't see the ants or really the hugeness of this hole very well but the first picture is of regular little ant hills and regular size ants and the second picture if of one huge ant hill with ants that look like they are on steroids! I have never seen this in my entire life and they probably have a horse chewed up down in that hole!!

This could be the start of a good thing

We decided last night while shopping at Walmart that we would start potty training Kassidy so we had her pick out some undies, and of course they were Dora. So today she picked the undies she wanted to start with so let's see if this really happens!! I will be so thrilled cuz it will save us so much money and she just looks SO cute!

I decided that we would also potty train Hello Kitty at the same time so as I sat Kassidy on the potty, put Hello Kitty's undies on (they are one of Kassidy's new Dora's) and sat Kitty right next to her to potty also. It is SO dang cute!

K, wish me luck!!!!!
