Do we have a future Hermione Granger in the house?

I saw Meghan playing with the broom yesterday. It looked like she was riding it and I thought it looked super cute.

Too bad I didn't get the camera quite fast enough to get the best picture.

Feeding the baby

We won't be having many opportunities for pictures like these, since Meghan is nearing the one year mark and will soon be weaned from the bottle.

It is just so cute when Jase asks to feed Meghan her bottle...

When the cat sleeps, the mouse plays...

While Meghan loves her brother, she also loves having the toys (his toys) to herself to play. I think it must be not having to fight for the toys and being hit, pushed over, and sat on.

A yarn ball or a mummy?

Jase loves to play with my yarn and my knitting needles and crochet hooks. Today he decided to wrap himself up with one of my scrap yarn balls.

Then he couldn't pull it off, so we cut it off. All the while Little Miss Meghan was going bonkers over the yarn strings...

Popsicles

Meghan had her first popsicle over the weekend. Jase got sick Thursday and I took him to Urgent Care after I got home. The Dr thought it was strep, so they did a culture and gave him an antibiotic. So, while we were waiting at Target for his prescription, he said he wanted some popsicles. So he picked out some yummy Dora popsicles. When we got home he had one and Meghan had one too. I thought she wouldn't hold it, but she grabbed right onto the stick and held on. She actually ate more of hers than Jase did of his.

It turns out that Jase didn't have strep, but Croup again (like the 10th time in a little less than 2 years). Meghan and I woke up Saturday morning with fevers. Meghan had a really high fever overnight and went to Urgent Care in the morning. There is some virus really prevalent right now and it sounds like everyone is getting it...

Oreo cookies

Meghan loves Oreo cookies. Here she is in all her Oreo messiness...

You just gotta love a messy baby - I just don;t like cleaning everything up!

PS-I think the blow out she had at the fair was from the Oreo's...

County Fair

Wednesday when I got home from work I decided that we should all go to the fair. Since parking and getting is free, there would just the cost of a ride or two for Jase and some yummy fair food.

It took us a bit of waiting to get into the fairgrounds and the car parked, but it was worth it as Jase loved it (and Meghan loved watching all the people). The first thing Jase saw was the ferris wheel and he really wanted to go on it. We told him after we looked around some and saw the animals, etc.

We walked around, got some balloons, coloring books, stickers, and a fire hat (Jase loved it), a 50 cent yummy sno-cone, saw the pigs, cows, rabbits, ducks, chickens, geese, horses, army vehicles, and tractors. Then we got a couple tickets and Joseph and Jase went on the ferris wheel.



The treat of the night for the kids was cotton candy (and Joe and I even had some too, although I don't really like it anymore...). Meghan wasn't sure what to think and just kept sticking her tongue out to touch it and then pull away.

We decided at 2 hours later that it was a great trip and we would have to come back next year. We walked back to the car and got Jase in his booster and I was getting Meghan out of the stroller. When I unstrapped her I just stopped and said something like that is sooo distgusting. She completely pooped out the front side of her diaper, all over her adorable outfit. The really strange thing is that it looked like melted dark chocolate, not poop (but it was poop). So we preceded to strip her clothes off, use probably about 20 wipes and then she got to ride home in just her diaper as I didn't pack an extra set of clothes. When we were cleaning her up, I said I wished I would have gotten a picture of just how gross it was. This was one time I was tempted to throw out the outfit, but since we really it, it traveled home to get soaked and stain treated. Oh and there were like 3 cars that wanted our parking spot, but the whole ordeal took around 10 minutes I'm guessing from when we first walked up to the car. None of the cars waited that long...
