Add this to my list of irritating things about my kid being sick: she gave it to me. Dammit, Jim. I was up all night and still feel like crapola this morning – Miss Cheri just came to rescue Mallory so I can go back to bed. Of course I am thinking “but maybe I am feeling well enough to scrapbook?” but instead I think I’ll go have a date with Harry Potter (still on book 5) and take a nap.
Look at the bright side
My sweet baby is sick. She threw up today for the first & second time in her short 16.9 mos of life. This is mildly irritating for a few reasons: 1) I’m missing our big monthly mandatory staff meeting at work for the second month in a row; 2) I have used a lot of sick time in one four-week period; and 3 ) we are supposed to go to the Wings-Blue Jackets game tonight.
But the bright sides are these: 1) I’m missing our big monthly mandatory staff meeting at work for the second month in a row; 2) I …

Today is my birthday…
I love having my birthday on April Fool’s day…it seems like I get the most random birthday emails from the most random people…usually along the lines of “how could I forget your birthday…it’s the day of fools!”, etc, etc.
We went to dinner last night at Outback (fancy, schmancy) since we weren’t going to have time to go to a nice dinner tonight because of Rick’s insane work schedule. We usually try to take advantage of the “buy one, get one free on your birthday” meals at the fancy restaurants downtown, or at least hit the ones that …

Wow…three posts in one day
I know I’ve posted a similar picture, but these pictures have corresponding video. Mallory tossed her big Easter ball into the bathtub and went in headfirst to try to get it out:
And here is the best part…watch her head when I ask her if she needs help:
Big shoes
Mallory is obsessed with shoes. I think most kids go through this phase so it’s nothing unique to our pumpkin-head but I still find it hysterical to see her constantly want to put shoes on, especially when they are her little flip-flops that we need to jam over her fat little feet and only stay on for about three steps before she steps out of them. So I guess she thought she’d try a bigger pair of flip-flops:

We had an incident on the escalator at my work yesterday in her old pedipeds and they got a little chewed …
Cooper & his friends
We went to watch the Michigan hockey game at a friend’s house Friday night and Cooper got to see three of his best friends – CJ, Fenway & Lexie. They all got a Frosty Paw treat during intermission.
Lexie, Cooper, Fenway, Lexie’s neighbor Ruby, and CJ
The best part is that Cooper is EXHAUSTED when we come home and usually sleeps in a little bit in the morning :-)
Steal from the rich…give to the poor
Punky-Poo-Loo has a new nickname: Robin Hood. She will go into the coin jar in our closet, grab as many coins as she can (somehow it ends up being mostly quarters?) and will then go down to her room to put the coins in her piggy bank. She probably “makes” about a dollar a day. Smart girl.

Ok – I love snow. Really, I really do. But for crying out loud – can it stop? We are supposed to get 1-4 inches tonight. I am done-done-done with the snow.

Notice Mallory’s boo-boo from her wipe-out in Gigi’s driveway on Easter. Poor kid has more scars…
Kisses & hugs for dad & mom
Knuckles – Biggie taught Mallory how to “punch it out”. She is now completely obsessed with giving knuckles to everyone – including the dog.
And a final funny picture:
"It's all her fault"
Mals goes to Uncle Mikey & Auntie Em’s on Wednesday.
I set her Princess boots out for Rick to take today so she could play outside with Lauren.
My sister said that no Princess boots arrived with Mallory today, so I asked Rick about them. His response?
“Ooops. I forgot. But it’s all Mallory’s fault because she moved them from the door to the kitchen when I was making my smoothie.”
For some reason I laughed out loud that he is blaming this on her.
