Trip Home

Last week we went home to Louisiana for a visit.  I finally got to see my precious great niece, Arabella.  Such a tiny little peanut!  Hard to believe my little angel was that itty bitty not long ago.  By the way, Alyssa celebrated her 4 month birthday yesterday!  That will be a separate post!

While we were away our neighbors got robbed.  Yikes!  The crooks waited for my neighbors to leave for work & school.  I just keep saying if I would have been at home my nose would have been all up in the window seeing what was going on over there.  I don't miss much on our street!  Yes, I'm THAT neighbor! Buddy probably gave them a good scare.  He doesn't miss much either!  The crooks were caught the next day, so that helps me feel a little better.  You just never know....  It may be time to review our security.

Well, my little pooper decided to mix things up on my & poop out of her schedule!  I WASN'T PREPARED!  It was Poop Day 6 (I wasn't expecting poop until 7 to 10 days) and we took a trip to the mall.  I only packed the little box of wipes for the diaper bag & no extra clothes.  On our way back home we had to stop by Sam's.  Mom ran in while the girls & I waited in the car.  Well, as soon as mom got out of the car I heard Alyssa making some noise in her diaper.  Addison even said 'Baby Isa has a tummy ache mommy".  I was praying that wasn't the case.  A few minutes later I pulled the blanket off of Alyssa & saw a MESS in the making!

I called mom right away & asked her to pick up some wipes while she was in the store because we were going to need them!  I went ahead & got her out of the carseat to begin the clean-up.  I don't even know if I can type this story exactly how it happened.  It was a disaster.  Seriously.  So, Addy is still in her seat watching Dora & I'm standing out side the car using the 10 wipes I brought.  Those didn't help much.  Then I remembered I saw a roll of paper towels & had a bottle of water.  Yes, I made my own wipes.  Alyssa was screaming the entire time then Addy says she needs to potty!  Really?  I told her to hold it for a second & was working as fast as possible to get to a stopping point with Alyssa.  A minute later Addy says she wet her panties!  NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I leave Alyssa laying on the seat naked & run to the other side of the car to get Addy then on my way back around to Alyssa I got the potty chair out of the back.  I put the potty on the ground & Addy on it in THE PARKING LOT OF SAM'S! While she pottied I finished up the best I could with Alyssa.  I just wanted to cry.  Is this really happening to me?  Oh dear!  Mom came back with the wipes & I used a few more.  Luckily, mom had bought Alyssa an outfit at the mall & she was able to wear that home instead of going naked.  I wonder if this was all caught on the parking lot cameras??

We had a great visit with Erin & Parker at the Children's Museum then afterwards lunch with more friends.  Time just goes by so fast when we are all together catching up.
