updates

*Yesterday afternoon we went to Toys R Us. We had a gift card back from Christmas and decided to get Cam something fun. Here is his new train set. The problem are the little ramps, which are so rickety and don't snap to the tracks. I'm curious if we had spent the extra money and gotten the name brand (Thomas the Train), maybe it would be sturdier. My dad put tape on many of the tracks and that seems to work ok, but what manufacturer would think that a toddler wouldn't be rough with a set like this and push the tracks off the posts??



*Last night Chris and I got to go out to dinner. We were going to try a Thai restaurant that a friend had recommended, but as usual, we wimped out and went to what we know and love, Cheesecake Factory. We weren't disappointed. :)

*We have several avocados and I don't want them to go to waste. Tonight I'm making BBQ chicken pizza with avocado and grilled onions. Yum.

*Kendall was waking just once during the night and it was sooo nice. She upped it to twice, and I'm not the biggest fan. Luckily she nurses super fast so I'm back in bed very quickly. I tried the "dream feed", like I used to do with Cam. For some reason I didn't think it would work with her...and it didn't. Maybe I need to give it more than just one try. But come on, how could I possibly be frustrated with something so cute...???



*We had such a fun walk this morning. Once we got to the park, Kendall slept for almost an hour while Cam and I gathered pine cones, went on the slide, threw rocks, and picked flowers. I love watching him get excited about something as little as his growing pile of pine cones.

*I saw Julie and Julia last week. It was very cute. I loved how both marriages were portrayed in such a great light. That is SO rare in TV/movies. That is one of the reasons I love the show, "Tori and Dean". It is refreshing to watch a couple (especially a Hollywood couple) who has a relationship which doesn't include tons of arguing, sarcasm, and nagging.

*Chris and Cam are heading up to visit his parents this weekend. I'm determined to get some good cleaning done.

*What's on tap for this afternoon? A raucous trip to Walmart of course!
