Cool new feature lets us post to the blog with our cellphones during fun times. Soon we will be able to send pictures with our messages. This is my first test.

Freda is going to grandma Leslies today and grandpa John's tomorrow when we go down to a BBQ party in Seattle.

'no-screen' sundays

yup. We did it no problem. Did not even miss it.

They let me sleep in. Got up made breakfast. Then played outside in the morning sun, worked in the garden, etc. needed to run a bunch of errands. Went to the mall [target and a shoestore little needed some 'aquasox' for the swimmin pool.] Thats when i saw the "Picture erfect" store at Bellis Fair mall. lol. Freda played at the indoor playground at the mall for a few minutes.



lol. Like I would trust these shutterbugs?!?!

We were back by 2. So little and mama napped for a couple hours. I filled the hummingbird feeders, trimmed some plants back, took a gutter down spout off the house and cleaned it out, made a sammich, ate it, changed the oil in the mower. Mama and mini got up andFredaand I took a ride in the truck and got more rocks at the landscape supply. Freda loves riding in the truck and totally spazzes out when she sees me loading the car seat in it. She has asked for a movie only a couple times so far. cool.

Instead of turnin on the tube and vegging the rest of the day (it was now 5:30) we headed out for a park in search of 'chutes and ladders'. We found one in Ferndale called Pioneer Park. We went to a weird little thrift store and mandy found 2 of the creepyest pink prom dresses just like the Judice [Lawrence welk SNL skit] for like $6. And some cute tiny oriental tops for frefre. Now we are hungy and stop to split a plate of fish and chips at Bob's Burgers and Brew. Forgot we were in hicksville so they brought us 8 pounds of food.


why did i not buy this series of books vol 13-22 is beyond me. total fail. Each volume was a different 'discipline'. lol.

When we get home we hang out and have a couple beers and talk about how rad the day was while we watched freda playing with her new T-ball set.


We put up a tent and she ran and played and loved loved the tent.

So we put her down, and it took an hour and a half. We finally sat down on the couch and Mandy asked if we still could have no sceens. We agreed as easy as it was and proud of ourselves for not turning the tv, or videogames or the internet that we deserved a little tv. but I was already falling asleep and she was reading so we went to bed.

awesome, awesome day.

looking forward to next 'no screen sunday'.

Milestone #312

Today Freda takes yet another step to becoming a little girl. She graduates from the 'waddlers' to the 'toddlers' at her school, St Francis. Basically moving up from the 1-2 year olds to the 2-3 year olds. At three, she will move into the pre-k program until she moves onto kindergarten. I am excited and proud, but not as much as little Freda.
