Not me Monday...on Tuesday

Not me Monday....I have ignored you...but in my defense I have been busy....chasing a toddler, burping a baby, ....scrubbing watermelon juice out of the carpet. you know....that sort of thing.

Anyways, no more excuses. My son is watching a video and the baby is napping....and I have a few minutes. In that case....it's on to "Not me Monday....on Tuesday!"

This past weekend was the 4th of July weekend...lots of events took place...

I did a test run on treats I am planning to make for Connor's mickey mouse party this year....needed to know if I could actually DO what I had planned in my head. It was a success I must say. Mickey mouse shaped rice krispie treats dipped in chocolate. (It's okay, I just wiped drool from MY mouth too.) The original plan was to share the treats at the 4th of July parade with some friends. But because the parade got rained out, Connor, Sean and I certainly DID NOT devour all the rice krispie treats. And half of them certainly were NOT devoured on the way home from the rainy parade. Nope not us....we wouldn't do that sort of thing.

(P.S. friends who we did not see at the parade...you will get a chance at these treats again in September so don't fret. )

I most certainly DID NOT get what looks like a 3rd degree burn on my my finger from a hot glue gun incident. ...Glue guns are dangerous people. There outta be a law ...really. Or maybe, I should just finally take up my mother-n-law's generous offer of teaching me to sew and then I wouldn't have to use said glue gun.

We are heading off to the beach this weekend with some family and I really am looking forward to it. I really love trips but the nerd within loves making the packing list almost as much as the trip itself. ...I know, I know, but I have done that since I was a kid. Old habits die hard. Anyway... I HAVE NOT already started packing for the trip that we arent leaving for for another 5 days. Not me.

I also DID NOT make packing lists for my mom and grandmother....but just a food list. If they forget their bathing suits, that will be on their heads, not mine. But gosh darn it, I will make SURE we will not forget the chips and dip!

Here's a NOT ME for my mom.... This weekend my Mom, Addison, and I went shopping at International Mall. Having a grandaughter thrills my mother to pieces I must say. Not that she doesnt fall all over Connor too or course, but having a little girl to dress up just makes my mom all smiley. ....Anyway, as we shopped through Dillards, my mom is pushing the stroller through the department, when an all too happy sales lady comes bounding over, and coos "Oh she is so little and tiny, so beautiful." My mom absolutely does NOT say "Yes, she is," and makes a brisk 90 degree turn away from the lady. In response my mouth does NOT drop open in shock. And my mother's response was NOT "She's just trying to make a sale...plus she was breathing on my baby." Nope...not her. She wouldn't do that. (I'm also NOT laughing right now just thinking about it.)

And finally, I did NOT purposefully go into BuyBuyBaby the other day just to get a free picture without having to buy any other pictures, because I heard from a freind via facebook, that BuybuyBaby will do one free pic.

Here's the picture of Addison I did NOT get for free.....

I also am NOT going to hang it up on my wall...and I also do NOT have 2 more appointments lined up this month at Picture People...with coupons!
