  • Tackle It Tuesday – Kaitlyn’s Room

    Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

    Tackle It Tuesday Meme

    This is my first post for Tackle It Tuesday, a terrific weekly feature that started on 5 Minutes for Mom! We had no specific plans for Memorial Day, so while Chris & the kids were cleaning out the garage – meaning, breaking down all the boxes I had tossed in there over the last month to take to the recycling center – I decided to tackle Kaitlyn’s room. At first I wasn’t going to take a picture because it was just so embarrassing, and then I decided what the heck, it would be a good excuse to do a post for Tackle It Tuesday. Brace yourselves:

    Why yes, it DOES look like the Barnes & Noble kids’ section and the Target toy aisle exploded all over her room!  Also, last week I asked Nathan to put the laundry away and he whined that he couldn’t put Kaitlyn’s clothes away because he didn’t know what drawers anything went in. So I solved that problem for him:

    No more excuses for you, Mister :P

    I’ve always assumed that the goal of Tackle It Tuesday was to show how you completed a project, but I checked with Susan on Twitter and she assured me that it’s okay to just post the beginning of a project – whew!  See, I had every intention of Kaitlyn and I actually cleaning her room, but Monday evening I started to feel lightheaded, and it gradually got worse. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and learned I have an ear infection. I feel like I just got off a merry-go-round pretty much all the time right now. So, hopefully by NEXT Tuesday I’ll be posting the follow-up photos showing the CLEAN room!

  • Kaitlyn needs a plane ticket. And a passport.

    Littlest Pet Shop playsets come with a little booklet that shows all the pets you can collect, with convenient check-off boxes so you can make sure you are being the BEST PARENT YOU CAN BE by buying your child every single pet. Kaitlyn has been carrying one around since Christmas Day, studying it thoroughly and occasionally thrusting it under my nose saying “can I get THIS ONE? Pleeeeeeaaasssseeeeeee?”  It doesn’t matter that she got eleventy-billion Littlest Pet Shop toys for her birthday and Christmas, she needs more. It’s the American way, after all.

    So, I was poking around various websites looking at LPS toys, and I found one that I knew she would love, the Playful Paws Pet Daycare. I was about to click “add to cart” when I realized I was on the U.K. version of the Littlest Pet Shop site. Kaitlyn, who was of course looking over my shoulder, started wailing when I clicked away from the site to go to hasbro.com to look for the playset there.

    Kaitlyn (wailing loudly): why are you leaving that screen? I want to look at that!!! (waaaaahhhhh)

    Me: because those toys are only sold in England

    Kaitlyn (after pausing a few seconds): Do they allow kids in England?

    Me: yes, why?

    Kaitlyn: So we can go to England and BUY THOSE TOYS!

    Good thing for me this old Compaq laptop doesn’t work or she would TOTALLY be tweeting about how MEAN I am  :P

    p.s. those two glowing things in the top right corner of the photo are the eyes of our cat, Blackdrop, a.k.a. Kitty.  And yes, she’s huge.
