Poop and lab



This is a picture of Murdoch laying on a towel on top of a puddle of baby pee eyeing the rest of a baby turd (far left) that he would like to finish off. Yes, Murdoch ate poo. No kisses for a while.

Twins for JLo



Another Jenny from the Block is having twins

The 38 year old triple threat is reportedly elated after struggling with infertility. I have never really been a fan of JLo, but this makes me like her more. How silly of me...

I Heart Ebay

I have a new pastime. Its called eBay. Sure, I've known about eBay for years, and considered using it to rid of various items in our house. I have never previously bought anything on eBay. I tried to find used strollers when I was pregnant, but the shipping was always so much, and it was one of those things I wanted to see in person.

Here is why I think eBay is perfect for shopping for baby clothes:

1. I hate paying retail for clothes. They don't wear them that long. I like cute, name brand clothes. That is why I shop sales and consignment.
2. I don't have to leave the house.
3. Endless selection. Girls outfits 12-18 months, Gymboree brand - 808 listings come up.
4. I love getting packages. My love of packages began when I started getting wedding gifts. Bedrest also made me love mail time. Especially catalogs. Sad.

There are caveats of course. It doesn't make sense to pay $4 for a onesie, and $4 shipping. I have been shopping the pricier items (coats, shoes) or multiple outfits from the same seller.

Of course, I have only gotten two raincoats and a winter coat so far, we'll have to see how this all pans out. I am loving Gymboree though. I haven't shopped there much because I thought it was too pricey and I don't like their stuff in the stores right now, but the stuff from LAST fall is adorable.

Surprise find today - my fantasy diaper bag I wanted last winter that cost over $400 new is listed on eBay for just over $100 (so far). I would tell you what it is, but I don't want you to outbid me.

Our Halloween costumes

Ladybug

Strawberry
I ended up being too cheap to buy the Star Wars costumes, and someone suggested they ran BIG and the girls are not. Hit Pumpkin Patch. Hope it cools down some, or the girls are going to be sweating in this fleece.

Evil Twins



Lucy and Harper have started fighting. Typically what will happen is Harper will take a toy. Lucy will try to pull her down or hit her (with this angry face) and then yesterday tried to BITE her. Lord help me.

Chillin'

The other morning, this is how Lucy was eating breakfast. Just chillin' and watching Sesame Street.



I'm more comfortable with my feet propped up too. It was a source of harassment at work.

Congratulations Daddy!

Greg got a new job, working in another group at Dell. Sounds like an interesting position and a great opportunity - plus it means they like him and probably won't be laying him off anytime soon. Hooray Daddy!
