Party’s Over

October 28th, 2007

It was an early start to a long day, and my hubby’s early birthday party has just wrapped up. I started cooking at 7:00 a.m. this morning, and I think I’ll be washing dishes until 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning ;)

Everybody had a great time, and my hubby got some pretty cool presents too. Dylan is snoozing away, so I had better get in to that kitchen and start cleaning!

All Wrapped Up

October 27th, 2007

Today has been non-stop all day. I’ve finished most of my cleaning. I got all of the party shopping finished, and I threw in a trip to Walgreens to pick up diapers. I just finished wrapping all of James presents. My little “night owl” is still wide awake, and sitting on Mommy’s lap. I have a feeling it is going to be a long night.

Tomorrow James and I are celebrating our 6th Anniversary. I’m so excited, I can’t believe that it has been six years, the time really does fly :) Tomorrow we are going to lunch and a movie, while Nana is babysitting. It will be fun getting a little break from the crazy kiddos ;)

Bumbo Recall !?!

October 26th, 2007

Well this one got me fired up this morning. Usually I wouldn’t write such a grumpy post, but this one got me more than a little mad. My hubby came in and asked if I saw the news, because they are recalling the Bumbo seat. I missed the story at 6:oo a.m. but I stayed glued to the t.v. waiting for the story to cycle through again, while James got busy researching the recall on the web.

About 6:45 a.m. here come the recalls: yet again more Fisher-Price toys, and yes my beloved Bumbo seat. The Bumbo recall was due to injuries from falls from a raised surface, such as a KITCHEN COUNTER TOP or KITCHEN TABLE! The stock film on the news even showed a lady placing the Bumbo seat on a granite kitchen counter top (there was no child in the seat), it is one of those moments when you have to say DUH! Why on Earth would you ever set your baby on a KITCHEN TABLE or COUNTER TOP in any seat is beyond me. I think this one really comes down to common sense, let’s use some when it comes to our children’s safety.

Even the Bumbo box states : WARNING, do not place on a raised surface. Designed for floor level use only, do not leave your child unattended.

Bumbo has updated their website with the warnings and downloads are available for further information. Make sure and check out www.bumbosafety.com for all the information on the recent recall.

My seat is safely on the living room FLOOR, and my little one is always under Mommy’s watchful eye. What will be recalled next Potty Chairs, Boppy’s, and Binky’s? Let me know what you think about the recent recalls… Are you as grumpy as me?
