My sister in law will sometimes do a post on her photography blog highlighting some of the things that annoy her (boo's) and things that make her happy (whoo's). I have had a lot of those lately so I feel the need to share them. Sorry, V, for stealing your idea! But before I get to those, I need to pose a deep, philosophical question along the same lines as "If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around, does it still make a noise?" Okay, are you ready for my question? If Blake has to work Sunday night will I still watch the Super-Bowl? I've been pondering the answer to that for days.
Now for my Boo's
1. Gerber raising the prices on their toddler line of food. They got me hooked on a $1 for their pasta pickups that Brooke loves and how they are $1.25!! Grrr...
2. Going 2 places to find Diaper Genie refills and both stores being completely sold out. I rigged a regular trash bag in the diaper pail and trust me, it does not work as nearly as good! Today the store had some in stock and I bought tons so I would never run out again.
3. Getting Brooke off her binky. I don't want Brooke to be 2+ and still dependent on a binky. We took it away Thursday night and she cried for 2 hours before finally going to sleep. Friday during nap was better and last night she went right to sleep. I am nervous for church tomorrow. The binky not only soothes a cranky baby, but acts a filter for things Brooke might find on the chapel floor and keeps her from putting them in her mouth.
Whoo's
1. Tax refunds. Blake and I have always heard about these "mythical" tax refunds that people were getting. Ever since we've been married we can't figure out what we were doing wrong. This year must be our lucky year because BINGO! We are getting the biggest refund we've ever gotten before.
2. Brooke has front tooth #2 emerging on her bottom right.
3. Getting to spend some quality time with Blake
4. Friday Night Lights. We've been watching seasons 1-3 on DVDs we rented from the library and we are hooked. I can't wait for season 4 to start on NBC in April.

What a great idea to do Boo Whoo's. Stinking gerber and their price raising! They raised baby food like 20 cents from when Brooke started on solids until when she finished! LAME! Hooray for tax refunds!
An idea to fix a boo-hoo...find something very soft for her (blanket or clothe) then when she gets upset rub it on her cheek or hand...replace the binky for something else she can soothe herself with. We are doing this to Jane (10) and it actually works. When she gets really upset we rub a very soft blanket on her hand or cheek and it really has helped. I don't know if it will work with Brooke, but hey it's worth a shot.
By the way, I love hearing babies in church. They grow too fast. Something that will keep her busy at church is to put stickers on the back of her hand. She will love picking them off.
Oh, I just need to hold her and play...I feel like Grams...but not as desperate! She is going crazy missing these little ones.
Love FNL too! Super Bowl without Blake...what's the point?!
Better go...wow, did I really write that much?!
Having children make the huge difference for tax refunds. How's Brooke doing with teething?
OK Loved the BOO and WHOOs but, seriously, I would not be watching the Super Bowl! There has got to be a good alternative on one of the other channels. Or a chick flick on Lifetime and for sure a makeover show on HGTV. Loved that question. I laughed so hard that my kids thought I was nuts. But thenm they think I am nuts anyway.
Congrats on the tax return and welcome to the land of tax returns with children!
What a cute idea! :) And congrats on the tax returns!
