Rowan managed to poop in the bathtub again tonight. Apparently she gets a bit too relaxed in the tub. It sucks bleaching the tub, the bath seat and all toys in the tub. I guess I shouldn't give her so much time to play!
You will be glad to know I didn't take any pictures of the floating poop. I will admit, the first time she did it, I was mad I didn't get a picture, this time, the thought didn't even cross my mind. I was too busy gagging while cleaning the tub with my rubber gloves on!

Contact dermatitis...Again!...
So, yesterday afternoon, before we left my dad's house, my right eyebrow was starting to itch. There seemed to be a rash starting, but I didn't really think anything of it. Then as the evening went on, it continued to itch, and I would occassionally scratch. I put some Benadryl cream on it before going to bed, and managed to wake up this morning with my right eye half swollen shut. Interesting.
I called and was able to get into the doctor (if I wasn't supposed to work tonight, I wouldn't have gone to the doctor, would have waited it out another day) So after being the the office waiting for the doctor for 1 hour total from the time I walked in the door, she diagnosed it as contact dermatitis, prescribed some heavy duty hydrocortisone cream and told me to take zyrtec for a few days. If it isn't better within 24 hours she will give me an oral steroid. What a waste of my time and money, but Ed also insisted that I go. Now it has been 15 hours since I woke up this morning, and I don't think it has changed. It looks pretty nasty, at least my vision isn't affected, other than a droopy eyelid. Needless to say, I took an extra night of rest and relaxation. Not that I am relaxing, there is always too many things to do once the baby is in bed.
Another post with no pictures, sorry!

Sunday Swimming...
Yesterday, Rowan, Ed and I spent a few hours over at Grandpa and Grandma Knutson's house. The plan was to enjoy the pool with the prediction of 90 degree weather. Yes the weather was very warm, but with the recent rain, the pool was a frigid 74 degrees. It didn't seem to bother Rowan too much, but I was in and out quickly. Too cold for me. It was rather overcast when we were there, which made the weather more tolerable, but had the sun been out, perhaps the pool water would have been more tolerable. We headed home just before the storms started!

Great Grandma is Home...
Yesterday, Ed, Rowan and I took Grandma K. to Mukwonago with us to swim and have lunch with Andrea and Breyson!
Grandma Audrey is home from Florida. She hasn't seen her great grandchildren in quite some time. So she enjoyed reading to them and playing with them. It was a beautiful day to spend in the pool and playing.

The Swingset...
Well, the swingset finally resembles play equipment. We had some issues with a stain color, so this is the second color we chose. From far away it looks fine, but it truly needs another coat of stain. Also, it isn't secured into the ground, so big kids/people can't play on it quite yet. But it looks very nice!

1st Corn on the Cob...
Tonight, Nana gave Rowan a piece of corn on the cob to keep her quiet while we were finishing dinner, and next thing we knew she was eating it. She ate almost half of the cob. She did a great job!

OshKosh and a car...
Last week Monday, Ed interviewed in OshKosh, at OshKosh Corp. for a Buyer position. And Thursday night, the recruiter called and offered him a 3-6 month contract job with them. Which he of course accepted. The downfall is that it is a contract position, but it is a job, and it is experience. Being that it is a contract job, we won't be changing our residence as of now, he will be commuting until it becomes something different.
Therefore we headed out car shopping friday afternoon. Our intent was just to look and test drive a few cars to get an idea of what we were interested in. But instead, we found one we liked, and traded in the 2001 Ford Sport Trac for a 2007 Toyota Camry! We will miss that truck, we can no longer haul big items! But we will benefit from the gas mileage on the Camry much more at this point.
