The kids went Trick or Treating tonight and made out like bandits, dispite the fact that many houses didn't give out candy, like they did last year. We went much longer and further this year. Stopping at a very nice lady's house with two small children to use the potty. One house was even giving away colouring books, pencils and erasers as well as candy!
My little trick or treaters!
Yes.. It snowed yesterday. Not a lot but enough to coat the ground in white. The heavy snow was too much for some of the tree limbs to take. Lots of power outages due to broken trees on the lines. We were lucky enough not to loose power despite it being out 2 miles away!
I opened the box for the potty, put it together, slapped it up on the toilet and plopped him down and 2 mins later i hear "eww gross"
He had pooped!
Then, to my horror, I realized he started pooping, got scared and tried to jump off and smeared poop all over the potty seat but... we DID have poop on the potty!
I have another nasty cough. You know the kind, it just sits in your chest giving you a little tickle here and there. The kind of tickle that never goes away no matter how hard or long you cough?
I've tried all the OTC cough meds and nothing helps. Nothing in the USA that is. There is a OTC cough medicine in Canada called Buckley's. It is truly horrifying stuff. The motto for Buckely's is "It tastes awful. And it works!"
Here is a list of the "unique herbal ingredients"
Herbal Ingredients found in Buckley's line of adult liquids:
Camphor
Camphor is a mild expectorant and respiratory stimulant. It also has mild anesthetic and antiseptic properties. Camphor helps to relieve chest congestion associated with colds and influenza (flu).
Menthol
Menthol decreases nasal congestion through local anesthetic action and stimulation of cold receptors. When inhaled, Menthol can relieve coughs and the sense of oppression in the chest. This ingredient is used to relieve symptoms of bronchitis, sinusitis, and nasal congestion.
Canada Balsam
This is a liquid oleoresin from Abies Balsamea (Pinaceae). This plant is found in Canada and Northern U.S. from Virginia to Minnesota. Balsams have traditionally been used as an expectorant for coughs and sore throats.
Pine Needle Oil
Pine Needle Oil has historically been used as an expectorant for the treatment of coughs and chronic bronchitis.
Tincture of Capsicum
Capsicum has been traditionally used as a counter-irritant to soothe conditions of the throat.
Sounds yummy right? Hmm, I was just telling Chris that I could go for some Pine Needle Oil!
So this horrifying stuff tastes a little like monkey pee, or what I assume monkey pee MIGHT taste like, but it does work. It works so well, I have asked my parents to send me some. I am shuddering already, the gag will be next but hey no coughing!
Christopher's Cars Party Pictures and Videos(everyone clap!)
And yes, I made the cake myself.
Christopher is TWO today!!! Happy Birthday Big BOY! I'm making his very favorite spaghetti for dinner and a couple cupcakes from the batter that was leftover from his cakes.
Its so crazy to know my boy is two! It seems like yesterday I was pregnant, feeling his little kicks inside my belly.
