missing you already

Posted in Baby Boos on March 26, 2012| 1 Comment »

Spring break was nine days of playdates, pjs, girls night out, Hunger Games, Jay’s shoes, Dairy Mart cherry coke, spring plants, picnics, library dates, and slow, easy hey what do we feel like getting into kind of days.  I miss it already.

A has a badly sprained foot and G has been sporting quite an attitude but all in all I’ve had nine days of contentment.  It’s a strange feeling for me to be driving home from errands and realize, wow, I’m happy.  Not excited, giddy but overall, mellow happy.  Spring break, I’m just sorry our fling was over so quickly.

little bit o explainin’

Posted in Baby Boos, tagged on March 20, 2012| 1 Comment »

I’ve had several friends ask me lately why I craft around with my kids.

Simple answer:  so I don’t lose my mind.

I make Polly Pockets go to book club.

 I’m at a loss for what Barbie should say to Ken besides a, “How youuuuu doing?” in a Joey from Friends voice.

I am hopeless when it comes to Star Wars characters and they just like to fight anyway.

I cook and craft and read to my kids because it’s what I enjoy doing.

And I hope it’s good for their brains,

because I’m just not that into My Pretty Ponies or Spider Man

although I do try.

pancakes, pansies, and porcupines

Posted in Baby Boos, Ect., Foodie Goodness, tagged , on March 12, 2012| 1 Comment »

Saturday find us making pancakes, little feet dancing in the background

Don’t know why, but I keep the play dough in the pantry.  As I was getting it down, pasta crashed everywhere.

We made good use of it

First porcupines then of course, star wars ships

whiskers for A

Wish I’d thought of pasta/play dough combo before- hours o fun

March is a little late for pansies but I couldn’t resist

Love the color on my porch-

Good times with pancakes, pansies, and porcupines.

My Political Career

Posted in Baby Boos, Ect. on March 2, 2012| Leave a Comment »

I don’t have the stomach for politics.  The pretense and posturing are just too much for me.  With that said, I may reconsider……

It’s been another wild week with heavy loads to shoulder.  Then sweet Ava comes in my office and tells me she’s written about me.

My day turned on a dime.

Here is Alice in Wonderland-who rocked her school read-a-thon!

Oh and other good news bye-bye brass fire box!

Graham, my little man

Posted in Baby Boos on February 11, 2012| Leave a Comment »

This little guy has been dropping one liners lately.

Today on the way home, “Mom why is life so weird lately?”

I glance back and inquire, “What do you mean by weird, sweetie?”

“Yooou know, weird.  I can’t go into it right now.”

Well then, I guess I underestimate the complexities of four-year old life.

Tonight at dinner, we heard: “Well, I’m glad God made God.  Only God could make God.”

True, son true.

Chia Pets and Monkeys

Posted in Baby Boos on January 19, 2012| 1 Comment »

Ava got a Chia pet from a family member for Christmas.  It’s seeds get goooey, slimey, and then sticks to the outside.  The whole thing reminds me of a bad sinus infection.  Just saying-it’s gross.

So yesterday, as I’m merging lanes on the interstate, my little animal lover asks for a pet monkey- in Spanish.  After she translates her wish, her brother begins to impersonate said monkey.  When asked the reason for my denial of this request, the best I could do was say, “umm, I think primates can be aggressive” as I continue to weave through traffic.  To which my lovely seven-year old replied, “Well, only the males and especially in mating season.”  TMI Ava TMI!
