lol okay, not our FIRST date EVER, but Paul and I got to go out last night with no baby, no diaper bag, no carseat or stroller... Thanks Gwamma! Also, it was Gabby's first time being babysat when she was actually awake :) Apparently she did pretty good! Yay!
We went to a book sale in Charleswood, apparently they have it every year! It is hosted by Calgary Reads, advertised by the CBC... I had no idea. I got an email from my boss about it, and begged Paul to take me (okay. very little begging required when it involves books) and so we went. We got there early (it was supposed to go from 6-9 on Friday) and there was already a line going down the street! at least 200 people just waiting to get in! It`s all donated books, and the proceeds go to Calgary Reads, and all of the books are like $1. I`ve been enjoying Great Expectations so much, and have loved everything else Dickens that I`ve read, so I loaded up on the classics! Paul got a political book (don`t ask me what it`s called, I couldn`t tell you) and we got a few hard books for Gabby. A BOX of books for $20. oh, and entrance was $2 apiece. It was a fantastic date.
Totally off-topic, but my keyboard has gone french. as in, my apostrophes all look like this: ` and my backslash key keeps doing this: é or É... how do I get rid of thisÉÉÉ hmmm. those are supposed to be question marks. helpÉ
On a mommy-note, Gabby has had her first-ever diaper rash. we`re pretty religious about putting penaten on her bum when we change her diaper, so the rash was a bit of a shock. BRIGHT red, and pretty spread out. We had tried broccoli for the first time a few nights ago, and she seemed to have a tiny rash around her mouth, so I thought maybe food allergy (Paul said `lucky! allergic to broccoli!... what a punk) but then Gwamma suggested maybe it`s a teething side-effect. we`ve been putting Desitin on it and it`s helped a lot. Have any of you other mommies had teethingédiaper rash experiencesÉ (see, there`s my slash and question mark problem again)
Today Gabby and I went to a craft fair in Midnapore to support my friend Sarah. Her booth was fantastic! We came away with a framed pretties-holder for our bathroom (chocolate and pistachio colors) with real Swarovsky diamonds in it, and also a banner of chipboard and ribbons and pearls that says Princess, which is now over Gabby`s crib. Pictures to come later :)
Have a great day!
My lap top does the same thing with those buttons and the only thing that I have found that works is to restart it.
ReplyDeleteAlso all my kids get a bum rash with teething. Nurses and Dr's. will tell you that teething does not cause a bum rash, but it does. And fevers as well. I find a warm bath at night and let her air dry for 30 min or so..with a towel underneath helps. Oh and LOTS of bum cream.
Good luck!
Hooray for kid free dates!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new look Jules! I have Ihles(sp) paste that is heavy duty and it does the trick. I completely think teething and diaper rash go hand in hand too. If the rash doesn't go away and the diaper cream seems to actually blow it out of control, it may be a yeast infection and some topical yeast cream will settle it down. Just for future reference. See you in a bit!
sounds like a fun date to me! I can't wait to see some pictures of the fun stuff you bought at the market. I love seeing what people are coming up with and from what you explained it sounds way cute!
