Ho Hum...

Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. There honestly is NOTHING to blog about! Plus, from what I see with my blog friends, I'm not alone! What is it with hardly anyone blogging lately? Is it just this time of year? I guess we're all just busy with life. So, to keep this blog active, I literally thought and thought of some recent things that are going on in our life right now. Don't get bored.....


1. Roy Austin now teases me by saying, "Poo-poo in potty?". I'll say, "Do you have to go poo-poo?" and he'll say, "yes!" So we rush to the potty, he sits down and grunts with a smile on his face (I think he thinks you have to grunt) and then he says "M en M?" Then he gets off (without pooping) and then within 10 minutes, there is a fresh poop in his diaper!!! Oh well, at least he's feeling the urge.





2. All of the neighborhood kids around our house are at least 9 years old. One day, we had the bounce house out and the triplets down the street stopped riding their bikes and invited themselves over to play. I loved it and so did Caroline! She thought she was so cool and kept calling them "her friends". Well, these same kids ride their bikes and scooters by our house all the time and Caroline wants them to stop SO badly...but she IS only 4! She'll say hi to them and smile, but they keep riding by. We've heard them playing in their yard before and she will sing and yell really loudly just hoping they'll hear her and come over. Two days ago, they kept riding by and she would wave and say hi. I felt so bad for her!! Then we were getting ready to eat dinner outside the other night and they rode by again and were talking to each other. I laughed to myself as I heard Caroline yell, "What?!" as she tried to get in on their conversation. Poor thing!


3. Is it just me or is LOST getting good? Things are starting to come together now. I just can't figure out if Jacob is really good and the man in black is really bad? It would be just like the show to switch the two. And I think Jack's Dad was the MIB for a while before dead Locke came back to the island. Remember how he was the one in the rocking chair in the cabin and he told Locke how to turn the wheel, etc? I just really hope that by the end of the show, the point of it is not to make Christianity look fake and bad.
4. And again, is it just me or was Dancing With the Stars good last Monday? First off, I hate the new holding room. I liked it when it was literally "back stage". That glass box is awkward and I don't like how the "stars" have to get up and down to be on camera when the interviews take place. Kate Gosselin? Awful! She looked so uncomfortable and I think she may have realized that maybe she didn't belong and wasn't in the same caliber as the rest of the stars???? I loved the part in her routine where she kicked her leg up but it only went to her waist. Pam Anderston was definitely on something by the time she danced. Wow. And what is it with Edyta always having to take something off in her routines???? Oh, and I am SOOO glad that Samantha Harris is gone!!! At this point I'm not rooting for anyone specific, but I do like the ice skater and Niecy Nash:)


5. It's triples this week at Harris Teeter. They do this monthly now and it snuck up on me this time. I am not prepared at all and I have about 100 coupons to use. There are some good deals out there, so sometime today, the kids and I will venture on over. See? I told you our life is hum drum lately!


6. I have been busy planning Caroline's 5th birthday this past week. Her birthday always falls on Spring Break week, when we usually go to VA for the week. So, we're going to have her big day there. She wants a Princess and the Frog party because Tiana is now her favorite princess:) So, I have some neat ideas up my sleeve for April 7th! We will be having a New Orleans/Bayou themed party (this is where the story takes place). When I tell Caroline my ideas, she gets giddy! What a confidence booster for me! Oh, and we've been listening to the soundtrack allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll week long.

7. Last Sunday, I subbed in a 3 year old Sunday School class. This sweet little boy told me out of the blue, "My mommy's name is __________, but my dad calls her the love of his life." He was so matter of fact and it was so sweet!


Okay, that's all that I can think of and remember from this past week. I'm looking forward to next week....making Easter cookies, an Annual Easter Egg Hunt party to go to, finishing up Easter baskets and getting ready for Easter Sunday!

Okay sweets:
1. Roy Austin is so cute! I think Dayna is working on potty training too.

2. Sweet but funny story about Caroline and the big kids on the block. Bless her heart. It is still awkward as a grown up when you are trying to figure out if someone is speaking to you or not. Or how about when someone is waving at you and you wave back ONLY to realize they are waving to someone behind you. EMBARRRR!!! Sweet Carolina!!!

3. DWTS---poor Kate. I'm embarrassed for her. And YES!!! Pammy Anny was SERIOUSLY on something! She is nasty!

4. Sweet story about the 3 year old!!!

OK, thanks for keeping the blogging momentum going. This from the #1 loser blogger on your list. I keep thinking I am going to catch up but I just can't seem to find the time. I may just become a reader.

I am having the hardest time conquering #2 with Olivia. She will be 3 in May. GRRRR! I am getting so frustrated, I might just dirty in my pants. HA!

That is so sad/sweet about Caroline. Bless her heart. She is a persistent little thing isn't she? It makes you want to throw rocks or something at the other kids and say "CAN'T YOU SEE THAT MY SWEET LITTLE GIRL WANTS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY YOU????"

Kate G. makes me so mad!!! I was secretly hoping she wouldn't do good and get voted off early. She LOVES the limelight.

I know! I think everyone is having a hard time staying motivated to blog these days. When one lags, it doesn't take much for the rest to lag too.

RA is SO ADORABLE and Jane is right. Those boys will be calling and ringing on your door in no time. That girl is beautiful! Inside and out!

Good post and thanks for catching us up. Oh, and I laughed about the description of Kate kicking her leg only as high as her waist. I can just see her now. I'm embarrassed for her. Poor thing! It's going to be a good season to watch.

Kristie said...

Hey Donna - I am still here - and appreciating how you keep your blog alive! I am having trouble with mine...how will I ever "catch up" now? Just wanted to check in...it was so nice seeing you last week!

Jennifer said...

Donna, I love when you just do random posts like this!

Oh poor Caroline, that is so sweet. But, I'm glad she at least talks to them and takes initiative...know what I mean? She is so pretty too. And funny about RA. I remember Max doing the grunting thing too. How do kids know to do that? Do they see their fathers doing it?

DWTS was good! I'm into it this season. Yes, poor Kate was so awkward. Her partner is my favorite guy though. AMEN to Sam Harris being gone...she got on my nerves so bad! Don would always say "there's your favorite girl." Strange that she bothered us so much.

I can't wait to hear and see pics of Caroline's party. Girl, you are the party bomb! Can you come plan the twins's first birthday?

Blogging? What's that? Seriously, why are we having a hard time? I'm going to blame my blogging issues on 3 little rugrats. :)

love your update and laughing about Roy boy grunting. Bro did the same thing and still does but we finally see some action in the potty seat.
We were out of town for DWTS, but looking forward to watching it tonight. Its funny when i see Neicy Nash. She was a guest speaker at Baptist hospital luncheon here in town and was so raunchy it was embaressing. She was talking about her "cha cha"(and I'm not talking about the dance) and how it looked and felt after having a baby. You should of seen all the old ladies in the audience. I guess she didn't see the "baptist" in Baptist memorial hospital luncheon. She is one crazy girl!
I know, I make myself blog sometimes and even thought about just shuttin it down.

I am guilty of Blog Neglect too...hopefully I can do an update soon.

Hang in there with Roy Austin...what a task! I do think girls are easier but I did have Lindsay to deal with , she FINALLY has it down as of this last year! (But she almost always cuts it close!!!)

DWTS...Kate won't last long, Pam Anderson is sooooo sleazy, I like the skater too, and that tall blonde that has legs for days.

LOST... I hope you will blog about it and reveal how it all comes together, I GAVE UP on it..too confusing!!!
