10 for Tuesday

1. I am trying to get back on track with my Mommy and Me posts. This is from last night. The corn stalks and the pumpkin is from Mark's garden. Lydia loved the pumpkin.

2. Ruby is fixed again. The "new" water pump he put on broke. He towed and fixed it for free. She ran ok for a couple of days but she was making a noise again this morning.



3. Today has been a quiet day at my school. That always makes a better day for me.



4. The first layer of mud is up on our hole in the bedroom but now the worker has not been back. Pray for rain so he will come back and finish. I think he said it will take three layers. So make that two rainy days.



5. Warning, this statement will contain bragging. At church on Sunday, we had a etch-n-sketch for Lydia to play with. I thought this was going to be a quiet toy to keep Lydia entertained. Well Daddy thought to start writing letters and numbers on it for Lydia to say out loud! So anyway, this women leans over and says "how old is your daughter? she knows more letters than some of the kindergarten children I teach!" Can a person learn her letters from having Cinderella read to her 100 times a day???



6. Sleep is finally doing better. We switched up our nighttime routine. I bath, dress and read to her. Mark sings, rocks and lays her down. She goes down without a peep. If I try to lay her down all hell brakes loose. So for now this is working and I am happy.



7. My daughter officially has huge feet. Nonni bought her a pair of shoes with Cinderella on it. They were a size 5 and we could not get them on her feet. I guess the crocs and sandles gave me a false idea that her foot had stopped growing! But the Cinderella shirt did fit and she had to wear it the next day even thought it was hot and humid. She cried and cried when we could not get the shoes on her and when I called her Drizella she cried even harder...who knew she would be so smart and get that joke??? (I know that she most likely did not but the timing was perfect)
8. Is it bad that my daughter has coffee parties instead of tea parties?


9. I finally won a Cinderella dress off of Ebay. After being outbid at the last second, someone buying one "buy now" and so forth. I scored one and at an excellent price. I hope it comes soon and looks as good as the picture.


10. We found a bucket at Walmart with Cinderella on so now we are all set for Trick or Treat! Now we need some invites to some parties!
