My Girl

After Dance ClassIt’s probably so not cool for your mom to think so but I can’t help but think that my girl is so cool.  Snake tattoo on her forearm?

So that glasses thing is going well.  They mostly stay on all day.  Sometimes they come off and then I forget to remind her to put them on again but there’s no fighting or hiding them or any of the other craziness that I anticipated.  Also, after just a few short weeks with glasses I’m starting to find that it looks like something’s missing when they’re not on.  And I think she looks a lot like my mother.   Read the rest of this entry »

You Win Some

I dropped two bags of junk off at the thrift store and, quite stupidly, decided just to pop my head in. You know, for a second. But I couldn’t leave the lovely little knob puzzles, or the dinosaur floor puzzle, or the board games, or the doll pram. What would Chase say if she found out I passed on a doll pram? So I probably came out even on this one. I rationalize it by saying that I really chose only really good finds and passed up a bunch of other junk. That’s something, right?

Ok, but really?  We didn’t even turn on the tv today.  Not even once.  Makes it totally worth it.  And I can totally get behind games after dinner.  I also put Boggle Jr. up in Chase’s room which isn’t much of a game at all but I thought it might be something she’d enjoy doing on her own.  And she did, this morning at 2:30am.  I went into her room and tucked her back into bed but I have no idea how long she was up playing.  Anyway, it all only cost me a stern eye rolling from the man person that lives here.  I can live with that.  Oh, I forgot about the yogurt maker.  I’m working on that right now!

The next few weeks are chock full of doctor appointments.  I’m sure we’ll all be thoroughly exhausted by it.  I’m not looking forward to it even a little bit.

Avery's new to us and cute Janie and Jack overalls. I love them.

We have no room for these toys. What was I thinking?

Not Much

My rumpus makers are keeping my busy.  I won’t be gone too long.  I don’t think.  In the meantime, I hope you’re keeping dry.
