Just popping in to tell everyone hello and that I have missed you guys. In case anyone is worried, I am fine, baby is fine (so far!) but I have been extremely sick with morning (all day) sickness. No complaints though, my doc thinks that is actually a good sign for my little person-to-be. I am a little confused about where everyone is (which site) but just wanted to update you all. Hope everyone is doing well and baking her butt off. 
OK, I know I'm waaaay late, but does WFHC and INHW stand for?? 
Just curious...
INHW stands for the original thread that was started: I Now Hate Wilton Fondant. A bunch of us kept posting, became friends and chatted about everything under the son and we knicknamed ourselves the Wilton Fondant Haters Club (WFHC). We got kicked off the the other thread because we were now, 400 pages later, getting off-topic. So Heath made us start a new thread and this one was born. Welcome!
Okay took a picture of the slide almost finished!!! All they have to do is outline/higlight the "cracks"!! Cool huh!
Oh shoot!! I can't find my camera!! I think I left it at my IL's house!! 
show ya later!!
My oldest starts 1st grade tomorrow!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my... how funny is that!! 
What a cool thread! I too am a Wilton Fondant Hater... Thanks for the explanation and warm welcome 
Now... since it is a "anything under the sun" kindda thread... does any one have good tips on how to get a 4 year old stop biting his nails? It is driving me crazy and I've tried it all! Bribe, time out, no more chuck e. cheese, over the counter nail biting medication, band aids on all 10 fingers (I know... somebody call child services... 
) you name it! Stubburn little kid! Has anybody been thru this? And worst thing, he does it with out even noticing he is doing it! 
Do you bite your nails?? No flames please!! I am just curious!
I don't have any tips..... if your guy was a girl I would suggest a manicure and pretty paint if the stopped but.....
how about gloves? maybe not until it gets colder....
Not sure about nail biting. My BF since grade school has always bitten her nails, still does to this day and she will be 32 in Sept. I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to hear though. I'm sorry.

I am glad you are doing well!! they chat on another site.... some of us are still checking in here every so often!
Okay--- Here we go!! The first picture is of my DH and Cara through the grotto (where the waterfall comes down) just to show the size of the entrance and cause it is cute! He is 6'5" and the thing hits right at the top of his head!! WOW huh!!?
2nd picture is of the front of the slide from across the pool.
3rd picture is of the back/ side where the steps are!!

Nope, I don't bite my nails, neither does DH!! And why didn't I think about gloves??? OK, I'm in FL, it is 100 degrees and humidity is awful but really, if wearing gloves will make him stop biting his nails I'll make him wear some! 
Now, where do I find gloves in the middle of August???
Anyway, thanks so much, hope he does not keep this bad habit any longer, they are getting really bad as of now...
you know they say that it only takes 21 days to stop a habit!! Good luck!!!!!

My kids were nail rippers. I have NEVER (okay, when they were babies I did) cut my kids nails. They have always ripped them off. I tried everything like you. They are now 16 and 14 (next week) and are still ripping. I wish they would stop; they just look gross!

Beauty stores carry the lightweight cotton gloves (for those of us with sensitive skin and need to keep lotion on them at night). Look into those. OR have you tried treats?? Every day that he goes through not biting them, he gets like a favorite treat?? Just a thought....I'm a bad mom too cause mine still rip.

Martha - That is going to be one COOL pool (no pun intended! 
)! I can't wait to see the finished product! Too bad it's not done for summer fun, but at least it hasn't been TOO bad this summer! Or at least it hasn't been bad in Fresno.

I tried treats and taking things away from him... really, he cries when does not get them (and I don't give, really) and after a while, he is OK and could care less for those treats. I will go to a beauty supply and check those gloves, hope they have small ones... thanks for the idea!

not sure if this will work but i did this when my son wouldnt stop sucking his finger. i got a garlic clove and cut it open and rubbed it all over his favorite finger he sucked heheheheh didnt like the taste so he stopped. i would suggest rubbing the heck outta his nails and make sure to get underneath so he taste the gaflic as soon as his nail gets in that mouth

never thought of flavoring the nails! Or try something really hot....some type of pepper or something
Garlic!! AWESOME idea! Thanks! Somebody told me about hot sauce but was afraid to try it since kids are always rubbing their eyes and was afraid of the eye contact but garlic, now that is genius! And I have some home, so will try it tomorrow! Poor baby.... hahaha! He will be a stinky one!
WOW, MJ I thought you had visited someplace, I didn't realize that's in your backyard. How fantastic! Puts the inlfatable pool to shame, for sure!! And your baby is soooooooo cute (but you knew that!) 
Thanks, Cathy, that is what my doc says so I am really hopeful. We are going to so many appointments it would be hard to miss something!

That's a good idea. Luckily, DS hasn't done this yet, he's too busy grabbing other body parts everytime his diaper is off--any advice on how to handle THAT?!?! 
We had a seriously bad potty traning session last month and this month I hope to try again. I think I gave my son "potty nightmatres". I am such a bad mommy. 
Hey girls, any ideas on a cake for a newborn boy? I am an AUNTIE now!! yesterday my little nephew was born.... such a sweetie!!

"potty nightmares" that is too funny, I think we all gave your boys some of those! So how old is he??
We had the hardest time potty training our boy and am embarassed to admit but he wasn't fully potty trained until he turned 3, I know.... a little late. Anyway, we never had the problem of "grabbing" but I would assume that it is a normal, before when they wear diapers they don't realize what they have but now with the underwear thing the have the access to it and it is NEW to them. I'm sure he will outgrow that, don't worry too much! Boys ha!
(I wish I had a little more advise for you... sorry)
Hi Sweets!
My ds is 20 mths. He is constantly grabbing himself. Its totally normal and I'm not sure there is much to do about it. When he gets older I will just tell him its something to do in private. If he wants to have his hands in his pants, I'll remind him its a private thing and to go to his room.
As for the cake...does your dn nursery have a theme? Maybe you could match it.
Hi Nefgaby!
I think Roxxx gave you a good idea. Garlic sounds like a plan. Let us know how it goes. Your ds is so cute!
Hi Wjk,
Thanks!!!!! Will let you know how it turns out... the garlic thing that is!
Oh my gosh guys!!! I just got so excited cuz I clikced on the home page and when it loaded there was one of my cakes on the popular cakes added today!! Woohoo!!
Sorry I had to share with someone!!
Side note-- The guys are working on finisheing the fence around the pool!!! YEAH!! soom we can swim (of course--it isn't hot anymore!! )
Ohhhh MJ!!! That is sooo Great!!! I'm going to look for it now!!!
