  Oh jeez.  Okay, it's not no makeup, but it's the weekend so all I have on is eyeliner and mascara.  The important thing, is this is the first time I've posted a pic of myself on TB.  I will probably DD later.  This is E and I at her first rodeo.  We are watching the pig races, where they have 4 little pigs race around a track and they all get treats at the end.  It's really cute, and as you can see, E had a great time.  Look how big her eyes are!
  
  QOTW: Hmm, I don't know that I've invented any.  But we taught E that when she is cranky, she has a fussy butt.  So when she starts whining, I ask her where her fussy butt is, and she points to her butt, then I tickle the fussy out of her.  I probably shouldn't have taught her the word butt, but it's pretty funny and works most of the time.

  QOTW: I am sure this isn't an original trick, but it's something I started doing and it works for us.

He willingly goes out to the car every morning now!
