Latest Rumblings

So what have we been up to lately? Here's a snippet:

Mae got her mop chopped, like four inches, and it looks awesome. When we went to see Josie mom and dad left it up to her and she wanted to cut it short and boy did she ever.

It's so cool, though, when she gets out of the shower and it's wet and she brushes it I told Dad she looks like a movie star.

I've been a bit wrapped up as of late.

Oh, and Pax? Yah, he's still eating cake balls for dinner. Kidding (kind of), he's eating that because he is officially potty trained. Just out of nowhere one day mom and dad bribed him with chocolate chips and that was it. Kid hasn't gone in his diaper since I don't think. And boy is he getting his fill of chocolate chips. Thank god for that huge bag from Costco.

Other piece of news is frog related. So we were out at Nana's and got a frog and Mae was really caring for it well. And then one day we decided to go to the park. I took my basketball and Mae took Sticky, her frog. She got the wagon all ready with some water in the bottom of it, leaves, grass, sticks, the whole nine yards, and off we went.

Well, as we were running around the park old Sticky hopped right out of the wagon and though we looked far and wide for him, he was a goner. So we headed out to Nana's a couple days later, blew some bubbles, ran around the yard...

And found Sticky's brother and took him home and now we're taking care of him (you might have to look closely to see Sticky Jr.)

So that's about it. Oh, that and check out the flyer for Grandparents Day at our school that is coming up. Hint: bottom right corner. Like I said - she's a star.

Catching Grief From The Boss

HEY FINLEY, WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN UP TO?

Um, can someone please tell me why Bruce Springsteen is on my blog screaming at me, asking me what I've been up to?

Well, Boss, if you must know, here goes:

1. Mae has been channeling her inner Springsteen with the bandana look at breakfast. Sorry, Bruce, you may be a music legend, but Miss Mae looks way better rocking a bandana than you do.

2. I went to the bar on Saturday afternoon to watch the Marquette basketball game with Dad, and here's a pregame pic.

Well, I didn't actually go to watch the game, my backpack was chalk-full of fun stuff to keep me entertained while Dad watched the game with his Marquette buddies. But I was the only girl who got invited (and the only person under 30 years old) so I was kinda Bigtime.

3. Also, Bruce, I've been hanging out just enjoying life.

4. But the big news is that I've been hitting up the potty train. I spend hours on this little yellow seat every day.

I know, I know, Mr. Rock n' Roll star, you're wondering what I'm doing in that picture. Well, I'll tell you. I have a fruit bowl that I'm enjoying while letting nature take its course. Some people read the newspaper, and me, well, when you're spending 4-5 hours on that thing on a Saturday you're bound to get hungry... and I did.

Well, that's it, Bruce, I got nothin more for ya at this point. Take care.
