In Case You Were Wondering

In case you ever wondered if those little colored tablets that you use to color Easter eggs are toxic, they are not! Should your child put them in their mouth because they think they are candy he or she will be fine. They may make a funny face, start crying and then spit the little pieces all over your carpet, but they won't die.

If you ever wondered if those pretty little colored tablets will stain your carpet, they will!
















This is one of those special places in our house that we will walk by thousands of times and remember our sweet little girl. Right in the middle of our hall way we have this nice, rather large splash of color. Just adding that touch of spring that we could all use this time of year as we anxiously await the arrival of spring. The sun shines through the bathroom window right on the stain. It's kind of pretty!

Oh, and if you have ever wondered if those pretty little tablets will stain your hands and tongue, they will!

Any ideas you have to get the stain out are welcome! We have tried the Resolve carpet cleaner, nail polish remover, the wet vac.... I am not too hopeful that this dye will come out!

I Love the Time Change!

We have had a great week. It is so exciting to walk out of work at the end of the day and have lots of daylight left. Each night we have been able to eat dinner and still have time to play outside. The sunset was beautiful tonight. The other bonus is that Jake has been "sleeping in", meaning that he has slept past 6:30am each morning this week. Typically he is up around 6:15am, but since the time change he's been getting up closer to 7am! Yeah!

Ty has been taking a couple of steps this week. He isn't so sure yet, but is getting brave!

Look Mom

Jake discovered that he can make his eyes go cross-eyed! Neat trick. Ted keeps telling him that if he keeps doing this they will stay that way. Is that true? I can't say that I know any cross-eyed adults.
