Car Seat Check - A+!

I finally got around to taking the car & car seat in to be checked today. I've been meaning to go each month for the car seat clinic since Dahlia's birth but somehow have each month forgotten or not gotten out of the house in time. Today I not only remembered but made it in time - whohoo!

The car seat was installed properly! And very snugly. Kudos to Steve for that. They removed the towel that we had to make the angle more proper (they don't recommend it any more - but they did in December! Weird) and replaced it with some pool noodles. Just to make it "extra" safe. Her harness needed to be tightened a little (I blame the fact that I don't put her in an extra sweater every day now due to the warm weather) and the clip needs to be more up by her armpits but other than that we were good to go. Of course this all took like an hour which was a little annoying but oh well.

The other annoying thing? Not ONE hot fireman was there! I was in firehouse 8 for nearly an hour and didn't see nary a brawny heroic man!! Dammit. Only 5 or 6 very nice women from St. Lukes who put on these clinics. I feel a little bit cheated. ;)

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
