Monday September 24th

We had a pretty good weekend!

Friday we stayed home and did nothing really. Which was fine. I actually forgot to watch the new Ghost Adventures, so I had to Tivo it.

Saturday we went to town after Vallerie's nap. Eddie traded in some of his games and got a new one, and had enough to get another game that comes out tomorrow. (Angry Birds!) I think Eddie and I both are going to really enjoy it.

Sunday we stayed home. I did the dishes and tidied the house a little.

Saturday and Sunday I made cornbread pancakes. They were freakin awesome. I even added some real sweet corn (from a can). Vallerie liked them, I loved them, and Eddie even thought they were ok, but he would prefer them without the corn.

I finished 2 hats. I got the beard completed for the viking hat for my old boss, and then another co-worker of mine asked if I could make a goat hat for his son's birthday. I did, and it is super cute. Er... awesome (since it's for a boy). I also got the body to my nieces doll done. I have 1 arm, the legs, hair and dress to do on it and then it is complete. It sounds like a lot, but it shouldn't take me too long. I can probably get the legs and arm done today before Vallerie goes to bed (assuming she doesn't play the "gotcha game")

What is the "gotcha game"?? Well, it's this fun little game that Vallerie LOVES to play when I am crocheting. She'll grab my arm and say "gotcha" and then she wont let go. If I actually can shake her off, she does it again and again and again and again, until I get so fed up that I quit crocheting altogether. It's super fun. *sarcasm*

Last night I did something that I should have done ages ago. I backed up all the pictures on my computer. (yay me) I also organized the videos we have, so whenever I copy those they will be in order. I was thinking of turning them into a dvd. I have the software on my home comp to do it. I just don't know if they make huge dvd's to copy it on.

Vallerie has been into being a dinosaur lately (thanks Eddie haha). She rawr's at everything and then claims "I'm a dinosaur". It's actually pretty cute. Sometimes she even fake bites/nibbles your arm. She also likes to be a kangaroo. She will hop in one place for like 10 minutes at a time. It's insane.

We're trying to teach her shapes. She knows what a triangle is all of the time, a circle some of the time, but she has trouble with the square and rectangle. She always calls those triangles. She also knows what an oval and a heart are. She's great with colors. She gets them right 99% of the time.

Eddie called me today and said that Vallerie asked her first real question today (rather than the plain old "why") He said that she was laying on the floor and she said "help help" then she asked "are you coming?" Eddie said "no", and then she asked "why?". I wish I could have been there for that. It sounded like a really cute moment. And, no, she wasn't hurt or anything, she's just a little weird.

I think that's all... Maybe I'll remember more later.
