All Pinkies have been washed.

When Rudy got home we pulled all the pinkies away and put them in the washer. Yin came in and said. "My pinkie's getting a bath! Me want him!" I assured her that she would have him soon enough. Next they were in the dryer and that is where she camped out awaiting their freshness. "Dere go greenie" "Dere go pinkie" she kept repeating as they tumbled.

Finally, they were all clean and she took them all and made an "AAAhhhhhh". She went into the livingroom threw them all in the floor and had a big love fest with them all. Crazy girl.

The great Pinkie Debacle

I don't know how many of you had a blankie as a child, but I would guess at least one of my four readers. :) Anywho... Yin has 3 pinkies...

Pinkie the orginal, this pinkie is pink with a a silkie edge and a chinelle (sp) type top and bottom. This was a lovely baby shower gift and she adored him. Until, the dreaded day we went to the big City of E'ville without him. She cannot go to sleep without him, and therefore we bought imposter pinkie.

Imposter pinkie, looks much like the orginal, same top, same silkie edge, but a silkie bottom. Imposter pinkie was great to have around. Each time orginal pinkie needed a bath she had imposter pinkie and vice versa. This was super... Until we like morons were going to Nene and Papa How's with NO pinkies. So we bought green pinkie aka greenie.

Greenie looks just like Imposter pinkie, but is a soft green color. He got love that weekend and is required to be on the bed, but he is her last choice.

Let me tell you Yin knows those pinkies even in the darkest night or deepest sleep. She will ask for pinkie. I get the orginal.

YIN: NO, PINKIE!!

Me: Imposter pinkie or green pinkie??

YIN: PINKIE

I had her imposter pinkie and she kicks the others to the end of the bed. It cracks me up. The other day imposter pinkie was filthy, and I mean bad. She is a drool bear just like her daddy. So she is on the back porch where the washer and dryer are and what should she spot through the slates of the hamper. Imposter pinkie! At which time she carefully trys to pull a blanket out of the slates. I tried to reason with her that he needs a bath, but she was not having it. I retrieve him from the bowels of dirty clothes and handed him over. YUCK!

So as soon as she goes to sleep I am going in for MI4... Mission Impossible 4... imposter pinkie extraction. I hope to have him washed, dried, and microchipped before she awakes.


Wish me luck! Wait! I hear snoring! I am going in! Que the music!



UPDATE!!!

Well... I was in full retrival mode with the spandx and cables. I was hovering inches above imposter pinkie and.... DING DONG. ARG!!! I was some Mormans or JCotLDS and they were looking for the ASH family. I grew up on this street, so minus about 7 years Rudy and I lived up town, I have been here all my life. There are NO Ashes on our steet.

I started naming names and said "Inyarts" and they said "Yeah, we have some Inyarts in our church I bet it is them. I said I bet not, but go and ask. :) I will try again later. I will not be defeated by this stinky pinkie. :) :)

I MADE A BIG ONE!!!

Let me just tell you those are the most wonderful and dreaded words in our house at the same time. Each and everytime Yin does a #2 this is what she says. She will not call it Pooh, Doodie or #2. It is "I made a big one!"

All in all the potty training is going very well. She still wears a daiper at nap and night, but not the rest of the time. She has had a few accidents, but not too bad. The best is that once she made her first "Big One" in the potty they have ALL been in there!!! Except for 2 who appeared during bathtime. The first one was a little one that nearly tramatized here, but the second...

The second, I put her in the tub and started the water and the bubbles. I went out and cleaned up some dishes and came back in. She was standing in the tub which is a huge NO NO. I made her sit and talked to her and starting washing her. She wanted to swim, so I went to the kitchen and put somemore things away. I hear her yell... "I MADE A BIG ONE". Rudy jumped up and went in. Yes, she made a big one. She had it in her HAND!!! YUCK!!! Rudy kept saying drop it! drop it!! Well she wanted to continue with her bath, but she wanted that thing out of the tub. Rudy got her out and cleaned up the "Big one" then he got the tub cleaner and the tub and then 10 minutes later she was swimming again. Rudy came back in the living room later and said "That about made me sick!" :) :)

Today, she just yelled, "I made a big one! A chocolate big one!" I swear she is killing me with this. Oh well, at least it is not in her pants anymore.

Oh, and just so you know. It is not I peed, pee pee or #1. It is "I made a water."

Because I love Hope...

Oh, and I was Anya in the other one. :)

More fun than a lawn mower wagon full of Monkey's

Tonight, Rudy hooked up he wagon to the mower and started giving the kids rides. Yin loved it so much that at times all I could see was the bottom of her sippy up in the air. She was laying in the wagon resting.

We all loaded up. Me, Yin and Yuri in the wagon and Rudy driving the mower and went to visit Kunkle and Aunt Needles. It was nice and relaxing the kids kept sing "All aboard". A litle down time was much needed.

We have been busy STILL working on the pond. We had to rework a bunch of rocks to make room for a new filter system. Then today I went and bought some rocks and unloaded about 1/2 of them into 5 gallon buckets and places them around the edges. We got our patio sealed yesterday, finally it has been almost a year since we poared it. The house looks like 2 small tornatos went through it, with all the outside work the inside has been greatly neglected.

I am in the mood for ice cream wonder if I can convience Rudy to go.
