And the Winner is....

Well, many guess right! It's a diaper chute! It leads from our deck to a 5 gallon pail at the bottom.

Well, I've MacGyvered again! I may not have as impressive a list as the original Angus MacGyver, but I'm doing alright.List of Problems solved by MacGyverThe laundry basket was an easy contraption, not requiring my "Master of Modification" skills. This new project did however require more than a stick of chewing gum and a paper clip.It works great! What is it? Well that's for you to guess. The winner will receive the first 4 episodes of MacGyver...

Laundry Day

With Dora busy being a mom, Marko Polo had to pick up the slack. That means doing the laundry. I've done my own laundry many times, but since we've moved to the new place and gotten the new machines (LG front loaders) I haven't touched'em.So with a set of quick instructions from Dora I was ready to give it a try! If you have the coin, I highly recommend front loaders. Uses less water, less soap, less energy and it's easier on your clothes. Along...

Golden Shower

Yup... it was bound to happen. The little man showered me with his "little man. As I was performing a change, being dissapointed that he hadn't let loose in over 16hr as the doctor had recommended I was trying to decide if I should be calling someone, when he made up for lost time. Using my Ninja-like reflexes, I dodged the main onslaught of the two foot fountain. My head snapped back so fast I thought I got whiplash. I watched the urine dance...

Home...Finally

Well, the new family is home! After a couple of days in-training, they have let us out of the hospital. With car seat in hand we headed home.It's quite a surreal experience, as you leave that hospital with a living being that you are responsible for. That if left to it's own will perish. That's a lot of responsibility for someone who can't remember to put the toilet seat down!After arriving at home, the big question was how would Denali respond....

Baby iTunes

Day 2:We survived a day and it's been full of some pretty amazing stuff! I think this is the first time in my life where I got up at 3:45 in the morning and was happy about it.We are doing well as a family and I am home for a quick nap and to grab a few things before we head home tomorrow. It's been non-stop action as I've learned to swaddle a baby, change a diaper, help get a baby to latch, sleep on a hospital chair and eat cafeteria food. Sweet...

It happened so fast...

Well, the weekend of thanksgiving is over and the week of left overs begins. After killing the day chatting with D and margarita I thought I'd better whip something up for dinner. Yup, that's right, I was cooking again. I was craving pizza - which always gives me heartburn - but I jumped in anyway. A quick search on the internet revealed an easy to follow recipe and the dough was started...with whole wheat flour of course. Denali and I headed out for a few extra toppings while the dough was rising - it's like I knew what I was doing! Not...

Creme Brule

Well, Thanksgiving: Part II. This sequel almost killed me! I can't remember the last time I ate that much.,I felt like I was going to explode. For desert, instead of a wafer thin mint, I ate 3 deserts. THREE! My God am I dumb!We were invited over to Liminal's parent's house for turkey, and I must say what a treat. It was an ethnic buffet of cullinary delights! It was hopeless as soon as I saw all that food. Oh well, that which does not kill...

Thanksgiving

The turkey came early this year as family is unavailable next weekend. If I wasn't 38 weeks pregnant already, the dinner would've provided stretch marks. The nameless being that currently resides south of my breastbone danced all through dinner. A true omnivore - just like dad - dances for food. It was the creme brule that stole the show though. So good! A nice addition to the traditional pumpkin pie.This Cuc Vampire came along for the ride...
