Back to Cool

Ah labor day has passed, and that means 2 things...

...It's time for me to get our Halloween Costumes and...

...It's back to school!

For the past 2 weeks, I've been a busy mommy and auntie. I was doing double duty babysitting my neice since her older brother started high school and so she stayed with me and baby for the timebeing.

Although it was tiring, she was an awesome companion and a great help in taking care of baby. Add that to the fact that my sister packed her some generous lunches, enough to share with me and the hubby so that we were eating well for 2 weeks, they've got a babysitter anytime they need me!

So for the past 2 weeks, I've been immersed in both the 10 year old teen pop phenoma known as High School Musical 2 and Hannah Montana and of course my baby's very own latest addiction (or is it mine?), baby einstein.

Yup, ask me to sing along with any of their popular tunes, and I can do it, plus the choreography! Yes, that's my life now.

Today, I actually miss not having my neice here. Sure it was hard balancing taking care of 2 kids, but she took care of herself fine too. She's at that age where all she was interested in doing was watching the Disney Channel and hopping on the computer to find out the latest news on Zanessa, the teen version of Brangelina. Come on folks, get with the program!

As for baby einstein, baby loves it! Plus mommy loves it too since I can get some stuff done while he's watching it. Only thing is, my sis-in-law gave us all her dvds and there's only 1 that's for his age range right now, and it happens to be the "Baby Santa" one! So yes folks, the holidays have arrived at our house super early this year, and baby is already being immersed in holiday carols and images of candy canes, presents and santa are already bouncing in his head! We're just hoping when it finally is time to celebrate the holidays, baby won't be confused and think that the holidays really start in late August. (Won't that be a rude awakening for Frosty!)

So it's post Labor Day, we're not supposed to wear white anymore, baby is 6 months old today, and my neice is back to school.

I still find myself singing along to her High School Musical 2 songs on my iPod, I still know all their choreography, plus I'm dancing along to the holiday carols on baby's baby einstein dvd, I FINALLY finished the last book in the Harry Potter series...sooo goooooood, AND last, today should mark the end of this insane heat wave we've been having here!

So now my life's about The Wildcats, Baby Einstein, the Backyardigans, and Harry Potter, so I'm on my way back to cool!
