So I mentioned that yesterday we went to a birthday party. Chase had a great time with her friends. What a fun party! The party had a book theme which I just thought was so simple, clever and thoughtful. She made that bunting, isn’t it fantastic? It’s the kind of thing you only use once a year so putting the letters on there in Sharpie is a pretty good idea. Read the rest of this entry »

Because I’m Calm Now
It’s the only reason that I can share these thoughts with you. 3o minutes ago I was seriously contemplating running away. It was almost the perfect day. Look at how peacefully it started. This is getting read for a birthday party. No screaming, no crying. Sure, her hair’s not brushed but look how quietly she’s sitting there reading. Read the rest of this entry »

Ooops
The single most aggravating thing currently going on is the constant boundary testing. Chase does something, I ask her to stop, she continues, disaster ensues. Well, it’s not always a disaster but it’s hard not to see it that way when the outcome was totally avoidable. If only she would stop when I ask her to, the FIRST time. Read the rest of this entry »

I Can!
Avery’s pretty excited because she can hold things! We’ve been shifting that ring around here for months but today she finally wrapped her tiny little fingers around it. She really did look pretty amazed that she was holding something so interesting. Read the rest of this entry »

Spring
We are love, love, loving it. With the sunshine comes longer days and afternoons of playing with friends. Really good times. What I didn’t expect to rear its ugly head is a whole lot of social awkwardness. Just call me the queen of awkward silences. I can’t think of a single interesting thing to say. Not a one. So I’m watching 500 Days of Summer. A popular film that will hopefully be interesting enough for me to engage others in conversation over. Read the rest of this entry »

My Babushka
I’m sort of a one trick pony. I’ll admit it. I like to take pictures of Chase wearing my sunglasses and of Avery wearing this pixie hat. I can’t say enough good things about Shannon or Sweet Pepita, the stuff is CUTE. I love this hat. Love it. And I’m sure it’s no coincidence that it matches her car seat. It’s almost too much.

And The Doctor Said
It’s only been three months but Chase finally put on the doctor’s coat that I made her for Christmas. All of a sudden yesterday she decided that playing dress up was fun. It’s great because it’s something she’ll do for a while by herself.

You’ve Got A Little Something…
right there, and there, oh, and on the tip of your nose too. How does that saying go? Go big or go home? So if you’re going to make marshmallows early in the morning for some reason that no one remembers, just do it. Use this recipe and make all 24.

Amazing
Lately, when I need to kill a little time at home I draw mazes for Chase. I try to make each one a super stumper but she’s pretty darn good at mazes. I wonder how long she’ll be into this. It’s awesome because they really do eat up a lot of time and she likes them so much that she’s willing to wait patiently while I draw them one at a time. One day she’ll figure out that you can buy them by the book full, no waiting needed. Read the rest of this entry »
