I tried to take Noelle to the Frist Art Museum here in Nashville today, they were having a free admission day. The first thing we did when we got there was try to use the potty, since we're in training. Noelle was refusing to go, and I told her if she didn't go, we'd have to go home. Since I said "tried" in the first sentence, you might guess we didn't get to stay.

So we left, and when we got in the car Noelle asked me for a snack. I told her no, because I remembered that I had not washed her hands after the potty attempt. Gross, I know, I'm a bad mom. So she says "I can wash them!" and proceeds to LICK HER HANDS. So disgusting. Hopefully this little story has made you feel like going to wash your hands right now.

Noelle and I got McDonalds today due to our kitchen being completely blocked off while the hardwood floors are redone. In her kids meal she got a Polly Pocket doll that came with a little thing that is pretty hard to open for a kid. She asked me how to open it, and after I explained it to her and showed her she said, "Oh! So if I want to open it, I ask Daddy!"

This week Andy reminded me of a game website that I used to go to all the time back when I was working. The job I had didn't keep me very busy, so I spent lots of time finding free online games to play and trying to master them. One of my favorites was the bee game. Andy actually mentioned this game back in December 2003 on our website, saying I got a high score of 22,460.

Well folks, today I got 34,820. Take that, bee game! If you find yourself in a situation that affords you a lot of free time, check out orisinal.com to find some fun little games. Some of our favorites (besides Bubble Bees) are Sunny Day Sky, Bugs, The Runaway Train, and Snowbowling.
