Potty Dance

 I mean who could say no to this adorable face!?

One of my most embarrassing moments, as a parent, would have to have been when Bigfoot was almost 3 years old.  At the time, we lived in Ruidoso, NM.  It is such a small town there are few places to shop. The choices were WalMart, Walgreens or the Family Dollar (which is where we were when he decided he had to go potty).

He was desperate to go. He was wearing his big boy undies because I was frantic to help him potty train before our new baby arrived in 3 months. He had been doing the "potty dance" through the store for at least 5 minutes! I asked the woman at the checkout if they had a restroom. She replied, with a quick "Only for employees!"

Finally we were finished with our shopping and as we were walking out Bigfoot says to me "Mom, wait". Once outside the store, he pulled down his pants and proceeded to pee all over one of the pillars on the building! All I could do was stand there and laugh! Poor kid, he really did have to potty! I had a talk with him about it, but was very proud he didn’t have an accident.

There really should be public restrooms everywhere!

A must do.

Pastel Painted Popcorn

This is such an easy AND edible craft you can do with your kids. We did it over Spring break when boredom was at it's highest! My kids are a little on the older side (9, 11 & 14yrs) to be doing this craft, but anything crafty or food related makes them happy and keeps them busy. lol All you need is food coloring, milk, marshmallows, popcorn, a muffin tin and paint brushes.

What you need:

The food coloring tinted milk, sadly I bought "pastel" food coloring:

Everything ready to go:

The kiddos having fun with it! lol

Here are some examples of the finished project aka the not yet eaten pieces! lol

I want to give a special shout out to Vicky of Mess For Less for the idea!

Meet me on Monday

Here are today's Questions:

1. Did you prank, get pranked or ignore April Fool's Day?
Technically neither, but I tried to be all sly yesterday (the 31st) and pull one over on them thinking it was the 1st! lol I sat everyone down (which never happens) and with a serious look told them I was pregnant! It was hilarious because my husband's jaw hit the floor, T-man slapped his head like "No more babies!" and the other kids were all "No way mom you have your tubes tied!" LOL It was pretty funny! ;)

2. What is the most unusual thing you have in your pantry or refrigerator right now?

I don't really have anything unusual, so it would be a toss up between Pralinutta (strawberry nutella), Artichokes hearts in a can and frozen mashed pumpkin! lol

3. If you were in the "Miss America" (or another) talent competition, what would your talent be? Wow idk it's been forever since I sang, but I used to be really good at it! lol

4. What is one thing you miss about being a kid?
I miss not having to cook dinner, not having to worry about finances things of that nature.

5. If you HAD to change your name, what would you change it to?
Well I would change it to Phoenix of course, but honestly I like my name!
