Makes me feel fine? Seriously, I’m sorry I can’t help these things. I think I’d forgotten how good corn could be. We’ve eaten plenty of it this summer and it’s been good but this was GOOD. With all the birthday parties this weekend I didn’t make it to the market so we went to a teeny tiny one yesterday. There were exactly three vendors. I’ve never been to a market quite so small. But I did find everything I needed so I guess I can’t complain. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s only a mildly disturbing picture of an infant holding a tiny wine glass (they’re on clearance at IKEA for $1.99). She said it had good terroir. Not really. She mostly just screamed into the cup to hear her voice amplified. Read the rest of this entry »
I was going to say better but I suspect that some of you, namely the person pictured here, will disagree. I’ll probably get some grumbling over posting pictures without permission but I don’t care! She looks fabulous! Did I mention that I can’t wait to meet JJ? Well, it’s true, I can’t. Read the rest of this entry »
Ben’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 »
I hope the warm weather comes back because Chase is way ready to wear her new shoes. She cried nearly all afternoon yesterday because her old shoes are dirty. Never mind that she’s the one that wore them into the ground. I’m thrilled that we had a day of cool weather so that running shoes were appropriate and we could get out to the store to pick these up without reliving yesterday’s wailing over having to wear the purple shoes.

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 »
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.

Today was my last official day at the office. Of course now that I think about it, I can’t recall either of my bosses actually saying bye to me when they left. I’ll probably get a call on Tuesday with questions about where the heck I am. All of the other staff however chipped in and gave me a lovely card and a nice little gift that I can go out and blow at Babies R Us. I love a good gift card… or three! Wasn’t that nice? It was nice that they took the time to put that together. And now I’ll have something to do next week between stinking doctor’s appointments. Read the rest of this entry »
Amazingly I remembered to take a picture before I ripped the package open and completely devoured the contents. Doesn’t it seem like I’m always apologizing for pictures taken after the fact? Sorry, I almost ate all of this before I took a picture but, after all, it was delicious. But I digress. Ben pointed out this stand to me this morning knowing I have a weakness for rice crispy treats. A weakness so great in fact that I will resort to eating the ones in the blue foil. I have however thus far managed not to buy a super-sized box of them at Costco and now I won’t ever have to. Read the rest of this entry »
We hit the pumpkin patch today. Not the best idea after a day of torrential downpours but we made the most of it. Plus, I wasn’t that lady that wiped out in the mud. Nope, not this time.
I had one of those grass is always greener moments and decided to try North Run instead of just going to Webber’s. That was a mistake. Now I know better and also feel compelled to go to Webber’s before it closes for the season. I’ll probably try to squeeze in another visit sometime this week against my better judgment. I’ll figure it out. Read the rest of this entry »
