So. Today I show up with my two Little Boys for my 11 a.m. OB appointment. I had prepped the boys in a couple of ways. 1) I downloaded a new movie to my iPhone for them to watch. 2) I told them that if they were perfect (i.e. no running around the room, no [...]

First Dance
February 20th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Parenting
Last night, Dan took Maria to her first dance. She started primping at 4 p.m. (the dance started at 7 p.m.) and I think she called him three times to find out when he’d be home from work.
They had a wonderful time!

A friend of mine recently blogged (or dittoed a blog) about getting the, “My, you have your hands full!” comment when she’s out with her young children. I was somewhat stunned to learn that she is the target of such comments, as she only has THREE small children. (I mean, I know only two are [...]

Today was Maria’s first official day as a Brownie. She has been looking forward to it ALL YEAR. The boys start at the beginning of first grade, but the girls have to wait until the new [...]

Luke wins the Question of the Day yesterday.
He came up to me and asked, “Mom? One day can we take a blimp to South America?”
Me: “Ummmmmm…. No.”
I hate to be a party pooper, but I don’t want him planning on it, ya know? Where, or where does a 5-year-old come up with an idea like [...]

The Great Snake Project

Okay… I promised pictures, so here they are:
That’s Jack’s anaconda. Did you know that if you look at both width and length they’re the biggest snake in the world? And that the mommies have up to SEVENTY live babies? Thank goodness I’m not an anaconda, although right now it sure feels like there’s more than [...]

This is the big Science Fair weekend at the kids’ school. I never thought I’d be excited about a science fair, but I am!
Jack has taken his project and run with it. He chose to do his project on Anacondas (much to his father’s dismay) and the diorama he created is wonderful. While I think [...]

About Last Night
January 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Family, Home, Parenting
About 1 a.m., Sam came down to my room, ran over to my side of the bed and told me he wanted to sleep with me.
“Do you need to go potty?” I asked. “No! I want to sleep in your bed!” he responded.
“Okay,” I told him, “but do you need to go potty first?”
“No.”
“Okay. Get [...]
