Egg Attack - Zhu Zhu Saviors - and - Big Girl Panties!
I only have one thing to say about this. Thank God - they were boiled!
They fell out of the refrigerator - yesterday. And I don’t even know why - or - how. There was absolutely - nothing - near them.
Seems like it was only yesterday - I was having so much fun standing in front of a kiosk at Foothills Mall in Maryville - waiting to see this little treasure finished!
I’ll always remember how excited I was - couldn’t wait to get home and get ours hanging on the tree. I’d had two made - the second for Brit and Kevin to hang on their tree.
Sadly - the artist is no longer selling the handmade ornaments.
That precious Grandgirl has turned 3 years old this year - just last month!
Mommy’s been having issues with trying to get her potty-trained. We’re thinking it may be tied to other issues - like - maybe - second thoughts about being okay with that baby brother coming in February.
So - MeeMaw Treesie came up with a plan that mixes in with Grandgirl’s Christmas gift from us! Have you seen all the craze exploding over Zhu-Zhu Pets this year?
I can remember when you could not find one of those little critters - anywhere! Well - except on eBay - where “ Idjits “ selling them with the starting bids set at insane prices - more like holding them for ransom.
And “ Morons “ were caving to the greed!
Now they come with a major compound of inter-connecting facilities you can collect. They come with little outfits and accessories - like Barbie.
And don’t get me started on where they went with the collection of their babies you can go nuts over - as well!
We decided to help Brit con the kid into - “ Big Girl Panties “ - by getting her started on her very own Zhu Zhu collection!
We bought one each of two facilities - the Funhouse and the Treehouse. And we sent two Zhu Zhu Pets to get her started.
Where does it go from there?
A new Zhu Zhu Pet will be added to the collection. BUT - it will sit on top of the refrigerator - and wait for Grandgirl to go 3 days in “ Big Girl Panties “ without any accidents!
Once she tackles that one - another Zhu Zhu Pet will arrive and sit on top of the refrigerator - and wait for Grandgirl to go a whole week in “ Big Girl Panties “ without any accidents!
And if Grandgirl manages to succeed without creating much grief around the house - ( we are praying this is avoided before baby brother shows up ) - she will be receiving a new facility for Valentine’s Day - etc. !
For now - I'm grateful to have Notepad on my computer. Gonna be a LOT to keep track of when it comes to remembering which Zhu Zhu Pets and facilities I send.
MeeMaw Treesie's just not all that great on the memory retention these days. Been a long time since she was 3 years old!

Train wreck on the eggs, sorry about that. I love fresh eggs none better. Boiled they are a bitch to peel when real fresh. Deviled eggs deep yellow yokes, I need to shut my mouth.
Potty training, been a while but wishing y'all success. Bill - December 23, 2010 at 7:56 AM
