Here’s to The Little Guy

June 20th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Dads, Family

Despite my love of Home Depot (most of the time) and Super Target’s with it’s great products and prices, I like to support The Little Guy when I can.  I’d much rather shop locally, at a mom and pop store, than over the internet or at the big box stores.  However, a budget-conscious mom can’t [...]

Maria graduated from kindergarten today. In the fall, during the first open house/teacher conference, Maria’s teacher told me, “I’d take a hundred Maria’s.” Within a few weeks of that, Maria had been “red-carded” several times and started a behavior chart to help keep her in line.  Thankfully, it worked and she pretty much sailed through [...]

Easter Weekend

April 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Dads, Parenting

Well, it looks as though our Easter luck has continuted into this year.  It started a few years ago with this* and we really haven’t had the best of Easters since. Yesterday morning, Luke woke up still feverish and so had to miss the Easter egg hunt in the park.  Which means, darn it, I [...]

Green

March 17th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Adventures, Dads, Holidays, Moving, Parenting

In honor of St. Paddy’s Day, the kids didn’t have to wear their uniforms to school today.  I had to rush around this morning (’cause, you know, I like to plan ahead), after getting very little sleep last night, trying to find green for everyone.  Or orange.  (???) I did pretty well.  Everyone had green [...]

Rules

February 20th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Dads, Food, Moving, Parenting, Rougher days, School

Yesterday morning I had a doctor’s appointment.  Thankfully, Bert* gets to use sick time to cover the kids for me when this happens.  My appointment was early, so Bert took the kids to school so I could get a shower in beforehand. Bert has taken the kids to school before, so (despite my control-freak nature) [...]

Weekend Roundup

January 12th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Adventures, Dads, Home, Moving, Parenting

This weekend was an unusually busy one. We kicked things off with the whole, dog bloat-kid puking thing late Friday night.  That was fun! On Saturday it snowed.  Again.  A lot.  A FOOT.  I had thought that we’d already seen as much at one time that we’d see.  Ha.  Oh, and we’re due more this [...]
