Last Saturday, we took the girls for our annual pumpkin patch pictures. It’s the “I hope these pictures will turn out so good despite the 60 mph wind, the sun in their eyes and the dirt blowing in their faces” pictures. Emma had a blast picking out pumpkins to paint and riding in the jeep they [...]
things you should never do. . .
Because I’ve had so much training as a parent. . .a whole 3 1/2 years. . .there’s two things I’ve figured out you should never do.
~Never attempt to fold laundry with a child in the same vicinity as you. Even if you’re the bi-district champ of laundry folding, a 10-month-old will crush your record for 7 [...]
girls’ pictures. . .
These are just random pictures that describe my beautiful girls on a daily basis. Emma is just like her Mama and so cordinated and graceful. “Instead of making two or three trips, it can so be done in one” is a motto her and her Mama share when it comes to putting up laundry as [...]
the block party. . .
Ellie: “Hey Addy, what are you eating?”
Addy: “I’ve got some cheese and meat. What about you?”
Ellie: “Just cheese. I’m working my way up to the big stuff.”
At the end of the party when the kids were on there way to baths and bedtime.
Emma: “I don’t want Emmy to leave.”
Emmy: “Why can’t we have a [...]
Hour 124. . .
Hour 1~Emma threw up and we’re thinking, “Ohh, the spaghetti didn’t agree with her.”
Hour 1.5~The spaghetti along with everything else she has eaten in the last 3 years of her life apparently haven’t agreed with her. A wise thing to teach your child is how to puke in a trash can. Starting on my [...]
youtube and me. . .tube
I signed up for youtube so I can share some of the videos we’ve recorded of the girls since Ellie was born and then I think some of Emma with our old digital camera. I’m cracking up watching these of Emma with Ellie. I’m laughing so hard and I need to pee which isn’t a [...]
Season Premieres. . .
I know that season premieres started last week, but I record everything and only watch the Disney Channel during the day so I won’t see previews. I get to the shows when I have time to watch it with the fewest interruptions as possible. In the last three years, I don’t think I’ve ever watched [...]
my magazine article. . .continued
As I sat at the table eating celebratory cheese enchiladas, I wondered if I should be getting my article published for Redbook. I take another bite of a chip loaded with Fat Tony’s hot sauce and ponder if this would be the picture the photographer would take to show how I lost the weight. At [...]
just one goldfish. . .
I let the baby-sitter (aka the TV) watch the girls while I made lunch yesterday. Ellie had her veggie puffs because she kept choking on the goldfish in a way that was making me want to gag and Emma had the goldfish. Ellie eats a veggie puff and then eyes Emma’s goldfish. She notices Emma is [...]
