Happy Friday

We’re lucky to live in a neighborhood with lots of good food options but every now and then, particularly now at 23 weeks, I get Ben to drive me around looking for something a little different.  Most of the time we end up in Fells or Harbor East.  I like hanging out by the water.  And I like Pitango Gelato.  I freaking love it.   Read the rest of this entry »

Thomas Rides Again

Thanks for sending me all of your good information and advice on binding books.  I ended up using this tutorial and found it easy and straightforward.  I started with the fabric wings step and moved through to the end papers over the course of two days.  I used white glue and so far so good.  The cover seems to be holding up.  It can be done!  Sorry for the lousy pictures.

Right In The Neck

I was away all day at a conference and so when I got home somehow the crazy things that my kids said were cuter than average.  By dinnertime my patience was worn way less thin and everything was generally funnier.    Read the rest of this entry »

Paper Dolls Still

I thought for a while she’d moved on but, no, she was just taking a break.  The girls are back.  She was so excited to show these to me when I picked her up today that she made me look at them in the hallway at school.  Somebody else drew these and she colored them in.  Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Easter Bunny

We’re burning through these little art project books lately.  Which is fine with me.  The stack could use a little culling.

But I like this one.  It’s easy to do, creates a great looking finished product and Read the rest of this entry »

I Want These Shoes

Is it bad to covet your children’s shoes?  I love them.  I might need my own purple shoes.  Also her stripey dress.  How did she get to be cooler than me?

We had a good day.  We did a little shopping today, went to the library, had some lunch, and heated up leftovers for dinner.  Low impact, you know?  How about you?

Happy Dragon

Chase made this is art class this week.  I love it.  The dragon face makes me smile.  So, I hung it near the door so we see it when we walk in the house.  If only I had half a brain I would have taken her downtown today for the Chinese New Year Celebration. Read the rest of this entry »

Rainy Days and Mondays

Was Monday that day it was rainy?  I can’t remember anymore.  Whatever day that was we worked on a bunch of projects to keep busy.   Read the rest of this entry »

Big Girls

So we’re starting to think about transitioning Avery into a big girl bed.  We thought she might be ready, you know?  Chase was wanting bunk beds for a long, long time.  Then the long weekend presented itself and it seemed like a good a time as any to assemble stuff.  Two trips to IKEA later and we had a brand new loft bed.  The first trip was mostly about meatball eating.  The second trip was for supplies.

Phew, we did it.  We made it through the birthday, holiday, holiday, birthday, birthday, holiday, birthday (club) sandwich.  Holy cow.  We’ve been going since October.  I’m thinking that a May baby will be just dandy.   Read the rest of this entry »
