Are the 80's already making a comeback? Is it true that those dreaded LegWarmers are back? Yep, it is! I about fell over when Christina came home from the mall with legwarmers. Then I seriously fell over when she asked if I still had my old ones. Ummmm....NO!!! I tossed those in the 90's! She gave me a hard time for tossing them. Who knew they'd come back in style? She loves them and wants every color!
She finally made her gingerbread cookie. Yummy!
It had become a battle because we KNOW he knows how to go in his potty. I haven't put a diaper on him, but he keeps pooping in his underwear. Yuck. So FINE if he wants to be in diapers then so be it. I would rather change a diaper than have to keep cleaning out underwear.
Mike and the boys are doing a 'science experiment'. Not sure exactly what... Something about a tornado. 
Here is Zachary's letter to Santa. He wrote it all by himself! In case you can't read it, it says,
I quote:
"Dear Santa, I hope you bring me a lots of presents. I want dols and pokeman cards and I want little cars a kitchen and two stuffee and stickers and colorbrook and spongeybob and patrick 3 cookies and 6 chocolate bunny."
This was exactly how he wrote it all by himself. I think the 'stuffee' is stuffed animals.
I can't believe he wants Pokeman cards. Some kid on the school bus gave him 4 cards, and so now it has started. Christina collected them for about 1 year when she was like 9, and at the yard sale we had just before we moved, I sold the big book she had about half filled with them. I sooo don't get them. I don't let him watch the cartoons, and am not really happy he has this new interest. It pretty much bored Christina. Then again she is a girl, and they were NOT Barbies.
Zachary is back in school today. We took him into the class room and all the kids started yelling "Zachary!! Your back!! Are you OK? We missed you!" It was so cute it brought tears to Mikes and my eyes. Last week they all made him Get Well cards. So far, knock on wood, he is feeling fine. Tomorrow we cut back the breathing treatments to 2 a day, for a few days, then once, and then only if he needs it. I tossed all our harsh cleaners and ordered Get Clean from my friend DeAnna. She has sworn to me for several years now that I should try it, now I AM!!! Here is the web site in case anyone is interested in trying the products as well.
We are also steam cleaning our carpets and I am looking into getting a better vacuum. I've read about the Dyson Animal one. We need a strong one to get out the pet dander, pollens and of course dirt. Our vacuum is only 2 years old and it blows so much dust into the air, that it can't be good. I'm also looking into getting a steam mop. I know you don't use any cleaning solutions with it, so that would be a plus. I feel like I spend all my time now on the computer researching. But it will be worth it in the long run.
So even tho it is a few weeks away, I am starting on a New Years Resolution. Getting us healthier by changing the way we eat, clean and live in general. And if it all helps the environment, then that's even better!
