this n that

Eating a frozen (but heated in the oven), breaded fish fillet shaped item from a box is NOT THE SAME as eating actual fish fillets, even if you add a nice glass of wine. Just so you know. Eat it with a side of canned corn and you'll be instantly taken back to your elementary school cafeteria. (In my defense, I was trying to figure out some way to get Derek to eat fish and as the "fish" was cooking, I realized that this was not it. I am unable to throw out food, so much as it brought back some bad elementary school memories, I ate it anyway.)

Derek is replacing our upstairs toilet right now. I am totally amazed (and thrilled) to be married to someone so handy. We got our new toilet from Derek's friends, Matt, who replaced the full size toilet in one of his bathrooms with a miniature toilet to use for potty training his boys.


Would it be a real blog post without the most current picture of Elsa?

Replacing a toilet with a mini toilet - is he crazy? Declan was only too small to sit on the real potty by himself for maybe a year. A potty seat is not that hard to keep clean: we've had ours operating for going on two years!

I didn't mention that he's a plumber. He gets the materials really cheap and he can do the work himself.

Still - a little over the top I think! It will be fun for the kiddos though. Maybe we should do something like that in the kids' upstairs bathroom: install miniatures so the bathroom appears bigger!
