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" cute Janie and Jack overalls. I love them.

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

There’s Only One Way

To swing a swing.  Apparently.  I really wanted these pictures to be exactly the same but somehow the playground must have changed in the last three years and I didn’t pack the same outfit.  Little bits that were somehow critical.

Anti Anxiety

I never got around to writing down the story of Avery’s birth and only seven short months later I find that I can hardly remember some of the bigger details.  I tried to recall parts of it today and found myself repeating I thought… I thought until I finally just had to admit that I just couldn’t remember what I was thinking anymore.  I guess that’s how it goes.   Read the rest of this entry »

I Dye

…you dye, we all dye for tie dye?  Too corny?  Sorry.  So this was our experiment today.  I flat out stole the idea for this project from my neighbor BUT desperate times call for desperate measures.   Read the rest of this entry »

To Pitch a Tent

So camping is getting more and more fun as I recall it.  Way more fun than when I was lying in the tent in the middle of the night listening to the drunk guy at the next campsite that was so close it sounded like he was in the tent with us.  Yep, way more fun than at that moment.  It was quieter the second night but by that point my outlook was fatally tainted.   Read the rest of this entry »

Gone Fishin’

And back again.  So… I’m not a camper.  It’s fine.  It’s not the sleeping in a tent, the lack of indoor plumbing or electricity.  It’s the people… who wants to be around SO many people.  I just don’t get it.  Maybe we were at the wrong campground but man, it was almost as dense with cars and people as the city.

We certainly did have fun though in spite of it all.  I know Chase will have many nice memories from this trip.  Tomorrow I will tell you all about it.  Tonight, I’m trying to recover and enjoying the luxuries of hot running water, the sofa and the television.

I will leave you with one piece of BIG news.  Chase forgot to pack her pacifier for camping.  So… yeah, it’s DONE.  No crying.  Yeah!  She was ready.

Adventuring

DSC_0015Ben’s on some kick about camping.  He insists that we do it this summer.  He has his heart set on it.  We can’t get a cabin.  It has to be tents.  Tents in the woods because that’s the only way.  So, we set off up 95 to see what we could see. Read the rest of this entry »

Home Again



Well we’re back and it’s, kind of, good to be home. Sometimes we just can’t wait to get back but this wasn’t one of those times. It was hard to leave. Chase was sad. She had such a great time playing that now I just seem really boring. Read the rest of this entry »
