Not Me Monday - 4th of July and Forth

I wanted to get this posted last night, but such is life with a 4 month old and a full-time job.  She is not a handfull - but worth every effort.

Megan was not full-blown teething during the 4th of July this year.  Her bottom two teeth came in on the 7th, but she had pretty bad diarrhea almost the entire time.  So bad that she did not have a diarrhea blow-out while celebrating at John's cousin's place on the 4th.  She was crying so hard and I when I checked her diaper I didn't see anything (because it was all in the back).  I was trying to calm her down while the mess was dripping out of the top onto the floor of the little girl's bedroom.  This is not one of my most embarassing moments, but with a kid now I'm sure plenty more like this will pour in.  Thanks to Grandma Lewis for helping me clean it up!

The last few years we've just been watching fireworks from our bedroom window.  This year, however, I was so tired that I did not sleep through almost the entire fireworks show.  I woke up just in time to catch the tail end of the grand finale.

The Hoppers did not finally win a game last Tuesday.  Too bad the other team didn't have enough players (which was an automatic forfeit but they played the game anyways) and John switched teams to play against the Hoppers.

We did not bring Megan to the Mall of America a couple Saturdays ago.  It was fun and she got a lot of stimulation.  I never knew how loud the entire mall is.  My ears even hurt just from walking around.  We ate at the Rainforest Cafe and got some good deals at Old Navy.  She needed to eat before we left to head home.  I did not use the hot air from the hand dryer to warm up Megan's bottle.  It actually worked really well.

Megan did not tumble out of a chair while taking some pictures at the arboreteum last Thursday.  She is just fine, just got a little scared.  Momma learned her lesson that we really do have a little wiggle-worm on our hands.  She cried a little.  She's not good with pain, especially when sleepy.

John was not 20 minutes late for work on Saturday because he had to stop and wait for a race.  He was the 3rd car in line and they wouldn't even let cars through when there was a break in the cyclists.

I did not finally bake cherry dessert out of the cherries that came from the Lewis' tree.  After 2 weeks of being in the fridge they were still good - and worth the wait!  Finally had enough time to get to it this weekend.  Thanks Mom and Rachel for watching Megan for me!

John did not burn his finger on the warming tray of our new grill.  He'll be fine, just not used to all the extra grilling surfaces quite yet.
