We had a long day, attending the wedding of a cousin. The wedding was lovely. The kids had a lot of fun at the reception (though one boy was passed out in a lap before 10). The girl is tucked into the extra bed in her grandparents room across the hall (they kind offered to [...]
Somehow, over the course of the summer, while we were meeting up with friends from Lidia’s class, we all (moms) decided it would be great to get the girls into Girl Scouts.
Fast forward a few months, and here I am a Girl Scout Leader. The thought had never crossed my mind, but it ended up [...]
Over the coarse of the past 5 years, I have been awoken from my sleep more times than I could ever count. I thought I had heard them all:
“I have to go potty!”
“I need a drink!”
“Mom, I had a dream!”
“Mommy, I peed in my bed.”
“My skin is itchy.”
“I’m cold/hot/tangled.”
“I can’t find my blanket.”
and the dreaded
“Mom! [...]
Dear February,
It has been 3 weeks since I flipped my calendar and said good riddance to you. As Februaries go, I must say you were truly craptastic. Perhaps that is not a proper word, but it is the only word that can describe the rottenness you brought to 2010.
You started off with a bang [...]
It’s that time of year again. Time for the annual Plague. This time we managed to make it all the way until the end of January before we got the dreaded stomach virus. Liam was the first man down, but thankfully had it only mildly (and managed to hit the bucket most of the time). [...]
In the past long while I have let this blog slide and now I am kicking myself for it. I didn’t start this for other people. I started it for me. I don’t even care if anyone reads it, honestly. For me, this is a place to put down my thoughts, random as they may [...]
I never realized what a transformation there would be when my first child started school.
Lidia is on her third week of Kindergarten and our life has changed so much in these 3 weeks. Her bed time has had to be moved up as Kindergarten is leaving her wrecked. She simply needed more sleep. I, [...]
Today, I showed the 2 year olds that I cannot be out stubborned. They were very unhappy to learn this.
Two hours before dinner last night, I told the small ones that they would need to clean up the bucket of Duplos and the bucket of Thomas Trains that they had dumped out on [...]
So what’s new with us? Plenty!
We managed to continue on from December 1st until February 11th with no illnesses! Then the carrier (also known as the preschool attending Princess) brought home something that began as coughing and ended as a nasty cold virus. She didn’t get much more than a cough and a day of [...]
Okay, so maybe not the plague, but can we be done with sick already?
Not quite 2 weeks ago, on the 19th, I took the the boys for their 2 year checkup. All were healthy and happy. Gavin weighed in at 27.6 lbs and Liam at 26.2 lbs. Both are 35 1/4 inches tall. My little [...]
