This morning, before dropping Sean off at daycare, I smelled a stinky diaper. I went over to him and this was our conversation:
Robyn: "Sean you smell like you have a stinky diaper."
Sean: "No Mommy, I smell like bubblegum."
Kids say the darnedest (and funniest) things. I can't wait to see what other funny things come out of my little joker's mouth.
This morning, I went to check in at the nutritionist again. Next week is my last 3 days per week check-in! I have one more week of stabilization and I will be on maintenance. I cannot wait. I'm honestly sick of weighing in 3 times per week and I'm sick of filling out my food journal (in maintenance, you no longer have to do so). I know what I should be eating daily (food groups) and I just want to put that book away and not see it for a long time.
I ran a drop off in the city for an elderly lady who wanted some bamboo knitting needles to help her knit easier (from her arthritis) and then headed back to my area. I checked out something at the bead store near me (needed a few more stitch marker making items) and then picked up some lunch and went home to eat lunch and kill some time before my mother was ready to go out again. We decided that we would go check out another Zellers as she was looking for something and I wanted to see if another location would have any more twin size sheet sets.
Just my luck! The Zellers we went to check out today had 3 more sets! Exactly what I wanted. I now have 2 sets for each kid. And I got them all for the price of one sheet set from Walmart (at 29.83$) a set. (7.50$ x 4 = 30$). Fantastic!
Then.... I scored 2 more deals. In Quebec (not sure about the rest of Canada) but we have a price protection law. Basically, if an item scans in wrong at the cash, if it's under 10$ it's free, and if it's over 10$ you get 10$ off the item, off the sale price/correct price. But you have to notice it, and you have to call the cashier on it. Has to be done at the time of the sale.
Anyhow, I get to the cash, and I was buying 2 new bath mats, as they were on sale, 50% off. When we got to the cash, they scanned in at regular price (14$). So one I got for free, since 50% off was under 10$ and the other one I still got at 50% off. Then, a Disney lego set, was on sale, as well, 50% off. I wanted to pick it up, at that price, to put away for Sean's 3rd birthday, since he loves Mickey Mouse Playhouse, and it was a Mickey Mouse playhouse lego set. Regular price is what it scanned at the cash for (34.97), so I got it for 50% off, minus 10$. It was just over 7$ by the time I was done at the cash. For now, it's put away for Sean's birthday, as there is no reason for him to have it beforehand, and the lego pieces are smaller than the mega blocks he currently plays with, and those are perfect size for him (and for Mack) right now. His birthday will be here before I know it anyhow..! (Though, it's still far off - end of December).

Sean refused to go to bed after they left, and after an hour after Mack went to bed, he woke up sick. He had diarrhea (which started this morning) and he threw up in his crib. I am not sure if it's from the milk he's drinking now (3.25% homogenized milk) or if it's from the tofu sauce he had for dinner - he's never had tofu before. Though, I'm thinking it's from the change from formula to milk, and I am hoping it doesn't last very long. So by the time Jamie got home from his ball game tonight, both kids were up, and I was in the middle of changing Mack's sheets on his crib and the pj's he was wearing. Poor kid. Hope he feels better soon.
I leave you with an update on my Ishbel:

Not sure if this link will work, but check these soda can toppers: http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.K3155.desc.Set-of-5-Quiktop-Airtight-and-Watertight-Soda-Can-Lids
I need to order some as I drink a lot too.
Excellent scores at Zellers. Some stores here do that kind of thing, but they aren't required to.
Ishbel is looking good. I can't decide if that is purple or blue.
Sean and Mack always look so happy :-)
Did you create the spreadsheet for Ishbel or did it come with the pattern?
Ishbel looks great. I still can't believe you're knitting purple.
I find it hysterical what the kids come up with. I took out Jakob's potty tonight for the first time, and held it up (still in its box) and said "Guess what this is!" and he looked at me all "matter-of-fact" and said "a box!".
duh! LOL
p.s. No one scores like you at sales!
I have been dying to try those can toppers. Let us know if they work!!!
I have been doing my best to eat healthy.... I have an autoimmune disorder called Lupus and I need to change my diet. Any chance you can share the tofu sauce recipe?
jenn at knitwitmomma.com
LOL Bubble gum...that's too funny!!
Wow you and mom get pretty lucky with deals!!
Oy what a cutie!!!
Ishbel is looking good!!!
The garden is looking great!!!
Your Ishbel is making me feel the guilts. I ripped out the previous incarnation, and am now letting the fingering weight version sort of slumber.
