Happy Columbus Day

Well... today daddy got a day off.. but as usual when he gets a day-off he always get sickness.. no idea from where. Anyway, at least I got a LOT of things accomplished today. I went to a meeting at 10am and then went to the post office to drop off a package, and then fetch fabrics for shoes orders from walmart & Jo-ann, then I went get lunch. Came home, spent time with baby.. then at 3:00 I have a dr. appointment.. get my flu shot and all that jazz...

Went to Hy-Vee got some 7-up and chicken noodle soup for daddy, got my prescription, and went home just the right time when baby woke up from her nap.

That picture above was precious! last weekend, I saw how good is petra with eating by herself. So I decided to start teaching Carissa how to eat soup with spoon & using sippy cup. Yeah, believe it or not she didn't know how to operate a sippy cup before (by herself) usualy we have to tip it up and she will let go her hand.

But anyway, she actually did a very good job with scooping the wild rice soup with her spoon and put it in her mouth. Then I let her figured out how to use a sippy cup, and she did it!! yay.. then when she's done eating she showed off to her daddy with her sippy cup. :) she's so cute.

I have so many shoes orders.. and I only got 2 pairs done... :( *sigh*

Minnesota Trip

We're back!!!! :) we went to minnesota for my brother & his daughter's birthday party. The driving was great, Icha didn't fuss or whine at all. We had a blast at their party, BUT Icha didn't want to sleep until 1am. *sigh* she was screaming like mad for the longest time, and we gave in (or maybe I gave in) I turned on the TV and let her calm down and watched TV till she's tired and then she crashed in between us.

From Petra & Oke Birthday 08

She woke up at 7am, then we stopped by at IKEA on our way back. Got her own crib comforter and pillow :). She LOVES them! :) the comforter is $14.99 and the cover & pillow cover is $9.99 and I think I will make more of the quilt covers by myself.

Swimming in Corn Pool

Today we went to Center Grove Orchard, in Cambridge, IA. It's about 15-20 mins drive from Ames.

When the first time I saw the corn pool.. I thought.. oh my.. Icha would put them in her mouth.. all of them. But actually it wasn't as bad as I thought.. she tried some.. but she didn't like them.. :D hahahaha She had so much fun in it, till when it time to go she wasn't really happy.

Here are some pictures from the Orchard's Farm
