Oh, Christine -- how awful! So glad DH made it home early to help manage the kids. Jen, jetskiing would be fun! What do you guys do with James when you do that? I'm guessing he's a bit young for such big toys LOL Have fun making breakfast; like you, I'm not much of a breakfast maker --...

I love to buy new jammies! I can't believe it's only 6 weeks away :) And Melissa, you can tell your daughter that your screen name always makes me smile. I think it's fun, and now that I know your daughter came up with it, I like it even more!

Name / Forum Name: Allison/PennStater Previous Road Trips: 2005, 2008 Where you're from and family: We live in Philadelphia, in an 1890s-fixer-upper that we're getting tired of fixing. We have a 4 year old daughter (my 2005 RT souvenier!) and a 9 month old son. I also have 3...

Michael's sells unfinished wood picture frames that the kids can paint. The frames start at a buck, I think.

Hello hello hello....is there anybody out there out there out there? This place is slow this week LOL Lisa, hope you're enjoying your vacation. How did the waterskiing go today? I tried that a few times -- I'm clearly not gifted in the water sports arena ;) but it looks like so much fun...

The chalk thing sounds awesome -- will look for it. Thanks for the tip! As for you and Jimmy, you just canNOT catch a break. Poor kid AND poor mom. I can't believe you've got workouts on tap after a night of no sleep. I think I'd be napping if I could get the chance. I hate hospitals for...

BTW, Christine -- how do you make your own sidewalk chalk? We go through so much of it. Ella loves to chalk -- she might get a kick out of making her own!

I went to Dick's tonight for shoes. Ended up with the Asics Gel Turbulent shoes. I had a $10 off coupon and they were on sale, so they were only $55. As fun as it was to get my zappos boxes in the mail, I think I'm a bricks-and-mortar-workout-shoe buyer -- I like to try them on and be done...

OMG, CHRISTINE!! That clerk will be telling people your story for a long time -- the woman with baby poop all over her!! Poor John and his collapsed vein :( Are you halfway to done (can you tell I just did Leaner Legs -- "halfway to done with those!") with the week alone? DH may be away for...

This place is like a ghost town today! Jen, I have a friend who swears by the powers of her chiropractor. I've never been to one (fear of quacks on my part too), but I'm sure at this point you're willing to explore a variety of new solutions. I hope this does the trick for you. Lisa, yay...

Jen, glad the massage was so fantastic. Are you still feeling its magic, or is it time for another? And I am soooo with you. I despise feet. Seriously HATE them. But, when mine suddenly hurts, I'm forced to think about and care for them LOL Christine, how scary with John. Yet you always...

So it will be my turn to talk to myself on here :D

Melanie, that sounds absolutely exhausting. Ella still won't eat most of what I cook, which is so frustrating (as you know too well). I'm hoping Drew will be a better eater, so that he'll just eat what he's served! Congrats on getting half a workout in :) I gave up on mine, but the chicken...

I did crunches until they were not comfortable anymore. I preferred to do a Pilates pregnancy DVD instead (Pilates During Pregnancy). Sorry -- I know that's not very helpful!

Christine, are your feet REALLY that ugly? I highly doubt it! Thanks for your advice re: the ingrown toenail (I don't want poor Lisa to be judged for ugly feet -- this is my problem, not hers ;) LOL). I haven't had time to soak it today; may do some trimming when I do it tonight. It's...

Yay for the extra hours, Melanie!! That's wonderful! I wasn't offended at all by the Seattle comment :) Now I live in Philadelphia; I lived in WA when I was in high school (many many moons ago...). Jen, Drew started teething a while ago. He cut his first 2 teeth in early March, before...

Living in Seattle is AWESOME! It's not that gloomy, and it's not overcast everyday. The locals just say that to keep the tourists away ;) I lived in the Northwest for 4 years; would go back in a heartbeat! But that said, sorry it's so gloomy at your place, Melanie. I know you're so glad...

You pull them with your fingers?!?! OUCH! I just dug out the offending piece with a sterilized nail file. I really want to cut it (!), but from what I read that's a big no-no. I should just soak it several times a day for a few more days, giving it time to grow out. Sorry you get them so...

Thanks for sharing all the stories on how you met your DHs. I love to hear how people's love stories began :) Christine, I didn't know your DH was a twin (or did I misunderstand?). Melanie, you said you were young when you met DH -- how long have you guys been together? I am SOOOOOO...

Love the pics, Melanie! The girls are just too cute and always look so happy :) Color me jealous of the workout room. I finally had to buy one of those big CD books for all my workout DVDs. I didn't have enough space in the family room for all the cases LOL Congrats on the weight gain. How...
