Baja Bob's :: Sugar Free & Low Carb Margarita & Cocktails

I think I've just died and gone to heaven!! I've been steering clear of mixed drinks because of all the sugar in them on top of the sugar in the alcohol. However, just ran across this website on a forum I frequent and come to find out they sell these in my little town. *Insert Happy Dance*

"Not Me!" Monday

Alright, starting a tradition here on my blog called "Not Me!" Monday's courtesy of MckMama. Today I read my first "Not me!" Monday post on her blog and I thought, what a GREAT idea!! I can most definitely partake in this type of event. Haha! To read what "Not Me!" Monday is all about, click here.

Let's get started....

I DID NOT take pure joy in killing slugs with salt and later with Slug Bait this weekend. Nope, not me! I sure don't mind that those little buggers stripped my marigolds down to sticks and moved on to other flowers in my garden. Nope, NOT ME!

Nope, it wasn't me who ran and grabbed Lynsie out of the bathtub when she pooped in it last night just to avoid having to clean up the yuckyness she left behind and rather leaving it behind for my husband to take care of. Nope, not me!! I would never do such a thing.

Pretty Flower Friday

Here are my Pretty Flower Friday flowers!! This is a container I planted that has wintered over fuschias for quite a few years and this year I decided to add in some hot pink impatiens. So far they are looking so pretty and I'm sure they will look so nice when the fuschias start to bloom.

Sorry the picture isn't all that great, I need a new darn camera and it was getting a bit dark outside. I promise a better picture next week!! :o)

What a week!

Sorry for not posting for a couple of days, it's been quite a week. Then to cap it all off my darn car battery died last night. We charged it all night long and it started one time at 5:15 a.m. but I wasn't actually planning on leaving for another 2-1/2 hours and leaving it running for that long wasn't going to work. We decided to turn it off and that was all she wrote. That sucker wouldn't start back up no matter how hard we tried.

My dad came over and tried to jump start it with the charger hooked up as well. Nuttin' honey! That battery was toast!

Luckily Jennie was in the neighborhood dropping her kids off at daycare so she swung by and picked up Lynsie to deliver her to daycare AND breakfast as well. Lynsie was wanting some num nums. Yay Jennie!!!

Anyway, my "Pretty Friday Flower" post will be postponed for now. Hopefully I can do it later tonight while watering the yard.

In the meantime, hope everyone is doing well and HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!

Potty Training 101

Lynsie and I went to Salem yesterday to do a little shopping at PetSmart and Target. While at Target we found ourselves in the "Potty" aisle. I've been meaning to buy a potty for her as she is interested in the toilet in general and has been telling us for awhile that she has went potty (or in her words "POT!") in her diaper, etc. Anyway, I decided to take the plunge and buy one that we can have at the house for her to get used to. Once we got it home, she was so excited about it before it was even out of the box. I wanted her to stand next to the potty for a picture, but she INSISTED on sitting on top of the box. I got her to smile for the picture by promising to show her the baby on the camera if she sat there and smiled. SUCCESS! She was satisfied with that and flipped out over the baby on the camera, haha!

Next up was taking the potty out of the box and assembling for another picture. Again, she was so excited about this and in to everything. I got the potty put together which was really not hard once I looked at the directions. It has so many functions, the part she sits on actually detaches when she is better at using the potty and attaches to our toilet seat and the base can be used as a step-stool to get up to the potty. How versatile. ;o) Anyway, I finally got it together and she was again so excited to sit on it as you can see in the picture below.
I later found that she was using it at a storage area for toys that would fit. How convenient and again, how versatile! HA!

When her daddy got home from work, she had to show him how she can sit on the potty and this time she had to do it with pulling her shorts off. Thank goodness she chose to leave her diaper on otherwise we'd be in real trouble. I think I put her shorts back on her about 20 times yesterday afternoon. She was just so dang happy about that toilet. It eventually found it's new home in the bathroom and she can practice sitting on it when we get ready for her bath.

We don't plan on doing anything with it for right now, I'm going to let her lead the way and when she is ready to use the potty we'll go there. However, with her incredible interest in the toilet, I don't think it will be all that hard ... but we shall see as time will tell!

Here is a link to the potty we bought Safety 1st Potty 'N Step Stool.

Lynsie's Piggy Tails

I said I would share this on Friday, but am finally getting around to it now. I even have MORE pictures to share but they will have to wait as I hear Lynsie talking to her baby over the monitor. Nap time is over!


Here are Lynsie's first ever piggy tails! They were so cute but now she doesn't want me touching her hair anymore so I haven't gotten to do them again. Pooey!
