So Kaycie has started really trying to use sentences. Which is all good until the sentence is, "Mama, Kaycie made mess!" Especially when that sentence comes on the heel of her spending nearly an hour in the kitchen by herself being perfectly quiet...
Ok, a couple of disclaimers. Yes, the being in the kitchen by herself and quiet part is screaming a warning signal. BUT, and this is the second disclaimer, I did know what she was up to and made the decision that the 10 minutes it would take me to clean it up was worth the hour of peace I had while she was doing it. I even left the bowl of flour out on the counter on purpose. Sometimes a girl's just gotta make a mess.
This is the face that came to tell me she'd made a mess. Take a look at that shirt, which by the way
isn't actually supposed to be white:
Here's what greeted me when I peeked around to the kitchen floor...
I'd also like to point out that when I left the kitchen, there was no flower on the blue cutting board. I had used it to cut up an onion, that was all. Kaycie was kind enough to demonstrate for the camera exactly how she made her mess:
I should also point out that as I type this she's sitting at the kitchen table with her dinner plate pulling bites off her biscuit and throwing one small piece on the floor to her left, watching the pup run after it, and as soon as he gets to it throwing the next small piece as far as she can to her right, then giggling as he runs back and forth. She has made a huge mess in the chair, although the pup has successfully cleaned up the floor. On the bright side, at least this one will be even easier to clean up. I can just dump the crumbs in the chair out on the floor and let the pup clean that up too. I've gotten a little lazy on the back side of this pregnancy.

You're a good mama. I couldn't have handled that when Mini-me was Kaycie's age - I wasn't medicated back then. =)
Are you selling the elliptical or just moving it for a while? I'm looking into getting one sometime in the near future.
For right now we're taking it to Mom's because she wanted to try it out. I don't suspect that will be successful. I do love using an elliptical, it's a great workout. But I wouldn't particularly recommend this one (to somebody I like!) because of the noise. It's loud. Very loud. Unless my dad can work some magic on it, it's too loud to use in the house with sleeping kids, which makes it a little useless for us for a while!
Ahhh. Well, I'm not quite ready for one yet. It's going to be my gift to myself when I hit my goal weight.....if I can find one I like that isn't too hard on my knees.
