I think my kids could entertain themselves for hours with wooden and plastic play food. They pack lunches and cook dinner, go on picnics and serve everyone in the room. As they do this the baby eats all the plates and chews on everything they have left in their wake! Meanwhile, I can chat with my sister and veg after a good workout. "My life is goooood". Nacho Libre. (That was so Michael Scott) lol
So mom bought the kids sticker books that have activities. Mr. C has been crazy for his, but unfortunately after moving each sticker approximately 1000 times they are covered in dog hair and ripped to shreds. As I hugged my husband I had to pick about 3 off his back and I pried one out of H's hair. Stickers are so amazing to a 3 year old.
Stickers and plastic cookies could solve a lot of problems.

Gotta Love Them Hives
Wow, I knew it had been a while, but THREE MONTHS! I have been so disorganized. As soon as I start to catch up on one thing two other things pop up! I guess I haven't written since I 'got the hives'.
I woke up to my handsome husband saying "Man, you've been scratching all night"! I was covered from head to toe with huge bumps. Some of my larger bumps had small bumps on them. It was hideous! I had no choice but to call my doctor's office.
By the time I arrived (with three kids) my hives were gone, but the nail marks were everywhere. I found out I was 25 lbs over fat, and my blood pressure was out of control! As a result of this wonderful (initial) visit I had to stop nursing my baby, lose weight, had an EKG, kidney & thyroid tests, and try three different drugs before I found one that worked. Anyhow, it made for a very very very eventful Christmas and New Year. I am glad it is in the past. Plus there is nothing like the threat of death to help you get in shape!
