Well I realize I just posted yesterday and I wasn't going to write again until I had some pictures or stories from the weekend, but I have had some random things in my head I thought I would write on.
1. Reading List - Do any of you have reading lists? I never have, until now. This January I had a literature interim class that forced me to read a book a week. It was a struggle to do it that fast with everything else going on, but I thought I would run with it as long as I was in the habit. The only problem is that I don't know quite where to go for ideas. I read some off our bookshelf at home the summer I was pregnant with Brode, and I'm always interested at Barnes and Noble but I can never make a decision on what to start. Lately I have been coming across situtaions that a book title pops up that sounds interesting and I write it down. My list has gotten long! I have a few I saw suggested in a magazine but they most be good because I've had them on hold from the library for a long time! My roommate from LaCrosse - Leah - suggested a handful to me that all sound very interesting that I've added. One that she mentioned happens to be popular here at work so I was sure to write that one down. Lastly, I am in Motor Learning right now at school and our teacher has suggested a few that sound intriguing and they deal with my area of study so I'm sure they'll be enjoyable. I had to write them down so I wouldn't forget any, and now I've got this long list! I do have to say I am excited, except I still have 2 that I have about 50 pages left in each left over from Brode's surgery last year so I need to finish those first! So anyways, do you have a reading list? or any suggestions? Also, I'd be happy to give you some titles of the ones I was recommended I just didn't want this post to go on for months!
2. Car Wash - My dad suggested I get a car wash yesterday. I got home to a voicemail from my mom suggesting I get a car wash. I scraped me black pants on the door and ended up with a huge white line across my knees and thighs, so I suggested to myself that I need a car wash. I hate winter weather. The slush and ice and rain makes my car disgusting. I don't have an excuse for the cheerios, CD's, paper, and thousands of miscellaneous items inside the car, but that was disgusting too. St. Nick brought me some PDQ car wash certificates in my stocking this year so I went and got the full scrub, wipe down, and vaccumming done and I feel like a whole new person driving that car. My car was so shiny and the sun is finally out that I even brought out the sunglasses for spring!
3. Toddler Bed - Do any of you have children in that toddler bed age range? (silly question I know 1/3 of my readers do) When did you switch? What do you suggest? Brode isn't climbing out yet, but I want to be ready when it happens. He catches on quick and once he figures it out it is all downhill from there. Brode's crib does not convert into a toddler bed easily because of how the front gate attaches, and it doesn't lower very far because there is a drawer underneath. Toddler beds are not cheap, but it would definetaly be a big help if he can get in and out of it safely. Grandpa is eyeing up the race car and fire truck beds. I don't really have a preference, but we brought up the point of the plastic being cold, but I'm sure Brode would smack his head on the wood corners multiple times as well! There is also the matter of how long they stay in them. There are multiple used ones in very good shape and not knowing how long he may sleep in it I don't know what the best option is! What to do, what to do?

I'd love to see some of your booklist- if you want to send me some on facebook. I'm into a series right now, but I listen to the books when I work out, and with spring around the corner, hopefully I'll be working out alot more.
I went to get my car washed today... and the person in front of me got his car washed, then backed back in during what should have been mine so he got his car washed twice- stealing my car wash!! I was very angry about it.
Toddler bed- Killian's crib converts, but if it hadn't I would have either a. bought a twin size bed and given him a step stool (because he still needs a step stool to get into his toddler bed anyway) or b. bought one used. They are in the so short, why bother paying alot of money right? And I'm more partial towards the wood ones- but that's because you can attach a bedrail if you need to since the mattress sits on top (Killian needs a bedrail because he falls out of the little hole not covered up by the toddler bed rails.)
I got a car wash today too! I waited in like for 30+ minutes! Annoying, but it needed to be done!
Gavin's Crib converted into a toddler bed and a full size bed. We never did the Toddler bed, we jtsu ocnverted straight into a full size bed! Gavin never tried to climb out of his crib but he was just so tall! I think it was right at 2 or maybe earlier when we put him into a full size bed! He did wonderful! Good Luck. Have a great weekend!
