Summer Time
Claire's birthday is coming up. Technically Bryan's is first since his is in July but we all know us parents don't really do much for ourselves. I can't believe Bryan is going to be 37 and my Claire Bear will be 14 in August! What I wouldn't give to be able to go back in time and be the parent/person I am now and relive it all. Baby days, toddlers, elementary years...... Don't get me wrong, I love that they are both at stages where they can dress themselves, feed themselves, Mr and Miss Independent. I guess we all get mushy about our babies as they grow. I have a memory of Claire when she was a baby and me thinking how boring she was. Funny to me now.
Last year was the first time Claire asked not to have a real party with friends and family. She wanted to be dropped off at the skating rink with friends. So that is what we did. I paid for all of her friends, provided money for them to eat and drink on, and then the girls that wanted to spend the night could. This year she is asking to be dropped off at the mall with Lady for the day with money to shop with. I remember spending weekends from open to close at the mall with friends. I guess some things never change.
I figure I will give her some money to "shop till she drops" and then she asked for colored contacts as a gift. She doesn't have eye sight problems but I heard it is still best to get them from the eye doctor so they can make sure they fit well and don't cause eye issues.

So the other night I was watching Kate Plus 8. I used to love that show and she was doing a 2 series special for the sextuplets because they were turning 10. It was fun to see how big the kids have gotten. Taylor was watching with me when he asked if I would ever want that many kids. My answer was no and he said he didn't want that many either, just two - a boy and a girl. I was dying from the cuteness that he was already thinking about that.

Throwback Thursday!!!
You're Caller Number 95!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I won tickets on the radio yesterday!!!!! Claire and I are going to see Beyonce on the 18th of July! I can't wait - So freaking excited!!!!!!!!!!!!
It worked out perfectly too because Claire was in a pissy mood when I got home because her Playstation wasn't working. When I told her the news, she started screaming and jumping up and down.
Later she watched Annie with me. It was a good night.

My Bad....
Let's start off with the before the trip. Friday night Bryan and I were finishing up last minute things before leaving the following morning. One of the things on our list was to clip Jackson the Pug's nails. We usually have the groomer or vet do it but they were all booked up. Anyway, we know both places struggle with him because he fights like a bull and the vet always makes him bleed so we weren't surprised that some of his nails were bleeding. Bryan put him in his kennel to keep him from trekking blood all over the house and we went on about our business.
About five minutes later, I let Jackson out and watched as he walked on the tile. I didn't see any blood and figured we were good to go. I went to the bedroom to get something (Bryan was in the garage) and when I came back, there was little drops of blood all in the kitchen, all in the livingroom, and all in the dining area. On our beige carpet. And we were out of the pet spot treatment we normally use when they have accidents. Bryan was pissed. He actually gave me the silent treatment for an hour which I guess is better than yelling but I hated it.
He ended up making a mixture of carpet cleaner and I don't know what. Our carpet now looks like it has chicken pox after you put the calamine lotion on them.

Like A Shark Tooth Necklace
I'm bbbaaacccckkkkkkkk!!!!
I was hoping to get some writing today in about my trip to Panama City Beach but it just hasn't worked out that way.
So, I will leave you with this until tomorrow.
Taylor lost one of his few baby teeth that he has left yesterday. He gave it to Bryan and that was that since he no longer believes in the Tooth Fairy. A little while later, I asked Bryan what he did with the tooth because Bryan is well known for putting shit in a safe spot and we never find the damn thing again. *Cough* Gift Card, Check *Cough*
Bryan: I put it in the container with all of his other baby teeth.
Me: Ok good. Just want to make sure that you are still saving them all because I plan on making them each their own necklace out of their teeth.
Bryan: Blink. Blink. For real??
Me: Hahahaha!! Nah, I'm just kidding. You know my ass isn't all arts and crafty.
