I stopped by the store on my way home from the gym last night.To get some fresh pressed cider and Halloween candy (managed to avoid it the last two months! yay!). While in the candy aisle, I saw some Laffy Taffy for rel…
Sorry, the shiny water bottles are Klean Kanteens.I got them from one of the longest-ever co-ops. I'm sorely debating never doing one again with this particular gal (also did one last year and my things shipped out a mo…
Lookie what I found in my mailbox today! After checking it once before the mail-lady got here of course. Only 4 of them are mine, one's my mom's Christmas present, two are for a friend. We ordered together to save on …
A - I got the longies! And they're so freakin' adorable! The drawstring is perfect, now I just need to weave in the ends. And you know the extra long drawstring for the yellow/green longies? The perfect teether appar…
Success!Howard Johnson for $131 including tax for two nights - with two queen beds. Need to find out whether they've got little fridges in any of the rooms though. But the hotel's 4 miles from Ikea. Now, to narrow d…
I can't sleep. Too much is swirling around in my head. Yet it's all trivial stuff that doesn't really mean much at all in the big picture of things. Remember that giant tent I bought a while ago for a steal? Yeah, so…
Guess who's crawling?Very slowly, but it's officially crawling.
Nice.I need a new serrated bread knife. A nice sharp one to hide from dh.Dh keeps using the one my mom gave me years ago to slice cheese from cheese blocks and such. Instead of the handy 8" chef's knife or one of our 4…
Oh my goodness I'm tired.Teething rashes and fussiness. I forgot about the suckiness of it.Stripping diapers. The most clean diapers at any one time in the last 6 months. Then there's the rest of ds2's then-clean diape…
Oy.
Toddler jumping on bed this afternoon. Hit the headboard. Bit his lip. Blood. Tantrums. Crankiness.
Dad showing up unannounced. Complaining about my mom. I like my mom better.
Dh discovered the present …
The yummy produce from Greenbluff...Well, he's growing up.
Anyone need a wedding dress? Or know of someone who does?It's Monique L'huillier, ivory, embroidered, size 20 (so size 14-18 in the regular clothing world).Brand new I believe the dress cost $1500 circa 2001, and I'm on…
Oh, monkey trumpets.
Next time I say I'm thinking of taking the kids somewhere fun, please smack me. Hard. Really hard. Or throw a few phone books at me.
Today, in the rain, we went to Greenbluff.
Bad: It was rainy…
Girls night out was fun. Need to do that again. Preferably not at Starbucks though. Loud music, and we were there when the 7pm movies got out (multiplex next door) and the obnoxious high school kids decided they need…
Kids don't like the snot-sucker (I prefer the term snot-sucker to nasal aspirator). Especially when the snot-sucker's aimed at them.
Have I mentioned lately that I'm really digging our bumGenius diapers?
And am seriously considering buying a bunch more for the rest of our stash?Like 12-18 more at least?We've already got 12+ of the one-size pockets ri…
We're still alive. Sort of. Turns out the toddler has a cold, too. Yellow snot's just flying around the house. Fun.
2am. I finally got ds2 asleep. Nodded off.
3am. Only to be awoken by a screaming (and I'm not ki…
Oh my.
Tonight we were up in the kids' room.
I had ds2 safely ensconsed in the crib (so ds1 won't flop or jump on him), and was messing around with ds1 on his bed (tickling, giggling, the usual).I wanted a hug, and he …
Ds2 has two teeth. The bottom middle ones. I forgot how much teething sucks. He's also close to outgrowing the 6-9mo sleepers. Do they even make regular knit cotton footy pajamas in 12mo? Because with our house's te…
So. He's figured out that the stepstool is a pretty great thing to have around.
Yup, both asleep. The entire backseat of our car is kid carseats.
I did some baking. There were a lot more rolls before t…
Happy Birthday kiddo!
Three years ago today.
At 7:46am after less than four hours of labor.
Three days past his 'official' due date.
I wasn't even fully convinced he was ours. Blond hair and blue eyes?Dh …
Hahaha... Laura, you're funny. 'don't spend all day cleaning.' Hahaha... I couldn't even if I wanted to. I consider it a good day if I can get dishes done.
I don't get any magazines, dh's get sent to work, and I o…
I think I may have figured out (at least part of) why our main living area is a mess. I don't have any space in the entire house that's just *mine*. Even my bedside table isn't fully mine - I've got teething tablets an…
