10:54 am - What do you get when you leave a pair of scissors with a 3.5 yr old?
I left Jenna for a few minutes playing in the playroom yesterday. When I came back, she was holding a pair of scissors and she said "I cut my hair, Mommy!". The funny thing is that I've left that pair of kid safe scissors within reach for her for a few months so that she can cut paper when she wanted, and she never did anything like that until yesterday. She cut hair on both sides of her face so it looks like she has badly tapered hair. I won't even begin to fix it. I'm not any good at cutting hair. Maybe grandma can fix it for her. =)

09:11 pm - Going to Washington this weekend
We're flying to Washington this Sunday. It is an annual trip we take to visit my in-laws at their vacation home in Kingston, WA. I look forward to the trip but not the traveling part. It is such a pain to travel with two young kids and a dog. Last year, we had to rent a van to fit everyone including Maggie and her large crate to get to the airport. We are doing the same this year. When we get to the airport, Chris will drop all of us off at the curb. There will be Jenna, Lindsay, Maggie in her crate, a couple of strollers, 2 big car seats, and our luggages. We will all wait for 15-20 min for Chris to drive the van back to the rental company and take the shuttle back to the airport so we can check in together. Last year, Lindsay wasn't walking yet so I was able to keep her in the car seat. Hopefully, she'll stay sitting in her stroller while I feed her snacks.
We usually don't take Maggie on trips with us but we figured that Maggie will really enjoy running around outdoors and swimming in the bay. She's such a stinker when she's there though because she loves her freedom that she won't come back to us when we call for her to come back.

03:41 pm - common password
i haven't checked LJ for years (literally) and when i recently logged in a few weeks ago, LJ prompted me for a new password because the one i had was too common. i guess my favorite word from the harry potter books is a popular password.

03:02 pm - Oxybenzone and Sunscreen
There are news articles all over about the safety of sunscreen. I wanted to get an opinion of what people think. Is this just a huge scare tactic or is there any truth? I don't want to run out and buy the very expensive "non-toxic" sunscreens out there but I would feel guilty applying something that may be toxic to my kids. Sigh....what to do...

11:33 pm - halloween costumes
i just ordered jenna's halloween costume online. i bought her the infant yoda costume because chris and i thought she would look really cute in it. i remember looking at the costume last month but yesterday, as i was about to order the costume, i saw that it was sold out in most of the stores! luckily, i did find one store that still had some in stock. i'm trying to figure out what kind of costume to get maggie. it would be cute if she was a star wars character as well, but many of these pet costumes look freaky. it just looks weird when your pet has the appearance of 2 legs such as these.

01:32 pm - yummy wine from sam's club
a few weeks ago, we were at sam's club when i noticed that they were selling wine. there were only a couple of different ones but i picked up a white wine called pitule (with an accent on the "e") from italy. chris and i tried it last night and it was very sweet and yummy with hints of peach and apricot flavors. it is more like a dessert wine but it went well with our dinner - a light pasta dish. chris normally doesn't like wine but he really liked this one. well, today we went back to sam's club and stocked up (we bought 4 bottles) since i know that some items might be seasonal. i tried doing a search for this wine but i couldn't find any wine stores that carried this particular wine. i still prefer red wine over white but i have to say the pitule is one i would keep buying. i'm still in search of a delicious red wine. i don't like dry wines. i love wines with a hint of sweetness to it.
