Mommy, nooooooo you can’t sit there!

ladybugs

Excuse me! I tried to sit on the couch the other day. I committed a crime apparently and “messed all her ladybugs up.” See, every morning, my daughter wakes up and puts her ladybugs on the couch. Don’t even try to move one to sit down unless you want a lecture.

Happy Halloween – My Little Pumpkin

I couldn’t get her to stop chewing on her shoe. If I took it away she wouldn’t sit still. So she got to keep the shoe. She was pretty patient about the costume. I have a bone to pick the “The Children’s Place” though – that’s what brand the costume is. The velcro on the [...]

How awesome is Jake’s preschool teacher?

Today Jake brought home a picture of Christopher Columbus from preschool. He said “this is a picture of Chirstopher Columbus,” when I said “what’s this?” holding up the picture. I asked him “did you learn about Christopher Columbus?” He said, “yes.” I asked, “what did you learn?” He said, “we learned that Christopher Columbus was [...]

How does your baby grow?

Time and again I marvel at the change I witness in my daughter. Today she spent an hour putting a red plastic triangle shape into a pink cup. Put triangle in cup. Shake cup. Triangle flies out of cup. Repeat. Seems like a common enough occurrence with a baby, right? Well, when it is the [...]

She adores her big brother!

It’s not the best picture because I took it from far away in a dark room, but I just love it! I’ve been “catching” them playing together lately. Abby adores Jake and I know he looks forward to the day she is older and can do puzzles and play games with him. So, how long [...]

Always. Bring. Clean. Underwear.

This is one of those posts that my children will live to regret. Well, one of them anyway. Yesterday Abby had her 6 month vaccinations (we’re on a delayed schedule) and after-wards I decided to make a run in to Target. It was raining, Abby was crabby and Jake was dropping stink bombs like crazy. [...]

The case of the mysterious falling tablecloth and 3 little steps!

A week or so ago we put out the few Halloween decorations we have including my $3 Wal-Mart tablecloth. It doesn’t even fit my table, but that didn’t stop me. See?

The things we do for love…

My sweet adorable daughter… You’ve seen her. Yes, this is her….

The Question is…Who Cares?

I have to admit that in my mind, this song was from Sesame Street but when I “Googled” it, I learned it was from the Muppet Show. Oh well…my memory is fading, but at least I didn’t forget the song itself!

5 Minutes for Mom is having a “Sleeping Angel” photo contest where the prize is a brand new kids bedroom set. This is my entry: Jake with all his “guys”; Ace, Chuck and Max. Ace is a Leopard and obviously the favorite. He was named after an American Idol contestant from a couple of years [...]
