When your toddler is being quiet..... go find him!!!!
Mark and I were in the kitchen chatting about our day and Sam was all 5 feet away by the bay window in the eat in kitchen area. He was playing with a small sippy brush and then we stopped "watching him". It had been about 10 mins and I said "what is Sam doing" so I look around the corner and OMG!!!! He used the brush and "carried" potting soil from my plant over to the window ledge - what a mess!!!
Even better .... when I was putting away his dishes that night I found 4 cups in the drawer FULL of dirt!!!! geez.......

Well... we got that out of the way!
I accidently gave Sam peanuts last night!
Good news is that he was fine =)
I like to eat dry cereal and I bought this stuff called Wheatabix - super yummy - anyway Sam pulled them out of the cabinet after work and asked for some so I let him eat them - he had about 6 of them - they are maybe 1"x1.5" - he left one so I took and bite and saw the peanuts!! I checked the ingredients and sure enough! Peanuts!!! Funny thing is that I checked the ingredients when he asked but I only looked for milk...... oh well - at least I got that out of the way =)

Relay for Life 2010 - Stomp out Cancer
Relay for Life begins when the sun is setting.
This symbolizes the time that the person has been diagnosed as having cancer.
The day is getting darker and this represents the cancer patient’s state of mind as they feel their life coming to an end.
As the evening goes on it gets colder and darker, just as the emotions of the cancer patient does.
Around 1am to 2am represents the time when the cancer patient starts treatment. They become exhausted, some sick, not wanting to go on, possibly wanting to give up. As a participant, you have been walking and feel much the same way. You are tired, want to sleep, maybe even want to go home, but you cannot stop or give up.
Around 4am to 5 am symbolizes the coming of the end of the treatment for the cancer patient. Once again they are tired, but they know they will make it.
The sun rising represents the end of treatment for the cancer patient. They see the light at the end of the tunnel and know that life will go on.
The morning light brings on a new full day of life and excitement for the new beginnings for the cancer patient.
As a participant, you will feel the brightness of the morning and know that the end of Relay is close at hand.
When you leave the Relay, think of the cancer patient leaving their last treatment. Just as you are exhausted and weak, so is that person after their treatment.
If you know a cancer survivor, this is their story.
They are your reason to relay and become our reason as well.
We had a great time at Relay this Year! The theme was “Stomp out Cancer” so we hung shoes from our campsite =) We also sold glow bracelets and lemonade and baked goods – our teams final donation came to over $1500 !!!! woo-hoo!!!
Here are a few more pics that we took thru the evening – and yes we did actually WALK! Haha I just happened to only take pics when we were sitting =)
A special thanks to those who gave me donations – I hope you know your money is going to an amazing cause!!!!
