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
