Eleanor dressed herself today. She did an AWESOME job. I got out of the shower with her and sent her to her room while I dressed the baby. After several rounds of yelling “Did you put your panties on???” She walks into the nursery- fully dressed – in her pastel stripe tights – a pink [...]

I actually really love it when FireFox updates in the middle of the night and wrecks my session while I sleep. It gives me that little “Well, this is embarrassing…” page. OOps! We’ve forgotten the 3 bagillion pages you left open. Wanna start a new session?
Sure I do. It’s nice the way they take responsibility, [...]
The clothes that make the girls…

I spent the whole morning cleaning out Saralyn’s closets – sorting the piles into Consign – Goodwill and Junk. I took a whole diaper box of too small clothes to the consignment store, lugged them in, got a gash of a paper cut from the box and found out that they don’t do kids clothes [...]
Weekend Recap

Thoughts, in no particular order, hence the dots.
Turtle in the carport. Friday – it rained cats and dogs all day. Hence the very big turtle in the car port. Eleanor got to get up close and personal while the big slowpoke waited for its mate and Noah. It rejected the parsley and moved on when [...]
She picked it, not me.

I’ve spent considerable time today looking at party plates with Eleanor. Her birthday is just under a month away, but more importantly, it’s one VBS and two weeks of swimming lessons away. That’s an eternity in mom years. But I digress.
Eleanor, approaching 4-years old with glorious tantrums, is the prettiest princess loving princess that ever-ever [...]
More about the kale tomorrow…

I promise I will blog with pictures tomorrow, but Eleanor said the funniest thing.
I made Kale Chips. I said, “Eleanor, come try these.” And she did.
Then she spit it out and said, “This is yuck.”
I said, “Well, you tried it, and I’m happy.”
Without missing a beat and in all seriousness, she said, “Well, [...]
Today is Valentine’s Day

As far as my kids know, today IS Valentine’s Day. Both girls had Valentine’s Parties at school today.
Check out what was in Eleanor’s bag of goodies: handful’s of candy, erasers, pencils, toy frogs, a little pinball game, a coupon for a free donut, a bracelet with her name on it, stickers, a luncheon cake, and [...]
Christmas Recap

OK. Who else is whipped? I feel like a wrung out sponge. A spare tear to shed? Not from me. Done. And this, only the 3rd day of Christmas.
One deep breath and a good night’s sleep make for the perfect remedy. A liberal application of lottery winnings would not hurt, either. Nevertheless…
Christmas morning came. Eleanor [...]
Toddler Swag

I was so surprised to find all the little sweets and gifties in Elly’s bag today when she came home from school. It seems that about half of her class came with gift bags for everyone. I guess I missed that memo. However, I don’t feel bad about it.
