An Afternoon of Puppetry
Posted on August 30, 2008 - Filed Under Crafty, Kids | 4 Comments
Irving left early today, which meant I was on my own with the boys. When Irving is away, we often make things and do crafts, since he isn`t around to freak out at the mess. So, today, after naps, we made happy/sad puppets.
That new table sure comes in handy!
Dante tried to eat the [...]
What Is Going On At Night?!
Posted on August 29, 2008 - Filed Under Personal | 2 Comments
I once read this horror story about a bunch of people in a town who were sleepwalking and they would kill and eat raw animals when they were asleep. Of course, being a horror story, some of them became cannibals. But they didn`t know. They would wake up with all kinds of marks on their [...]
Thursday Thirteen: The Bucket List
Posted on August 28, 2008 - Filed Under 13 Things | Leave a Comment
So my sister and I were chatting last night about how we`ve done so little with our lives and we decided to make our own bucket lists and encourage each other to do the stuff on them. Perfect for a Thursday 13, though obviously there are more than 13 things on my list, but I [...]
Wordless Wednesday: Close to Mama
Posted on August 27, 2008 - Filed Under Wordless Wednesday | 5 Comments
I know this is supposed to be wordless, but I had to add an explanation. Dante normally has his pacha (bottle) sitting in his bouncy chair at my feet, beside my desk. On this particular day, he was ill and had vomited on the chair, so it was being washed. I gave him his pacha [...]
A Switch Gone Bad
Posted on August 26, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 5 Comments
So, last night I decided to get Dante out of our room. The boys aren`t sleeping well, either of them, so I figured they could not sleep together. Maybe they`d entertain one another.
I moved the crib into Dorian`s room nice and early and the boys played around in there. Dorian was quite excited to [...]
Weekend Odds and Ends
Posted on August 25, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I have a lot of bits and grits that don`t fit into a post by themselves, so I`m just going to combine them all into this one. Hope it isn`t too confusing!
**********************************************
Our table is a hit. Both boys, immediately upon receiving a snack or a drink, run to sit at the table and Dorian insists [...]
Before and After the Big Clean
Posted on August 25, 2008 - Filed Under Personal, Simple Life | 5 Comments
I actually did this post before and Wordpress ate it, which is really annoying. For those of you who haven`t yet updated to 2.6 in Wordpress, I advise that you don`t! It messes stuff up, so it`s better to wait for a fix.
Ok, on to the pictures . . . most of you know that [...]
The Bedroom is Done . . . Mostly
Posted on August 21, 2008 - Filed Under Crafty, Kids | 5 Comments
Last weekend, we bought paint and got started on Dorian`s room at long last. I looked and looked, but can`t find my before pics, so here is one of when I started marking out the border line.
Dorian had a blast climbing up on this mattress and sliding down and I let him stay up [...]
When Mama Doesn`t Listen
Posted on August 20, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 4 Comments
It`s been a rough week, with all the articles due, kids being sick and then I came down with the same bug yesterday. How annoying. Anyway. Yesterday, I really wasn`t in the mood for whining and that was ALL I was getting from Dorian. He wouldn`t talk properly all day. It was a [...]
A Quick Meme
Posted on August 19, 2008 - Filed Under Personal | 3 Comments
I`ve been really busy the past couple of days and haven`t had much time. All painting and moving and cleaning and writing a billion articles that are due shortly. So, I promise I`ll get to everything interesting later, but in the meantime, here`s a quick meme that I found on Kathy UnInterrupted.
I am…busy, busy, busy!
I [...]
