The Fall of the (Other) Red Curtain

The Fall of the (Other) Red Curtain

Yes, the other red curtain finally fell. And I didn’t put it back up.  (The first red curtain story is here.)  Instead, I finally gutted & reorganized the laundry room. I actually never thought this would happen. No, really, I didn’t. That room has been an absolute disaster for a long time.  Like, since we moved in...

Playing

I wrote a nice little post.  It took me a while.  And then the connection dropped, autosave failed me, and all I have left are the pictures I’d uploaded. GRRR. Here’s the short version.  Not that I can ever be brief, you know, but I’ll try. The kids invited me to play in the kiddie pool. I accepted. They...

Lately

Lately

She’s been creative lately. And so has her two-year-old brother.  Nothing like straight protein powder while mom nurses the baby. Doodle, on the other hand, has been strong.  Super strong! He was a little bit happy about splitting that board.  I’ll have to load the video of him telling us the story.  Someday. Freedom has been learning to...

3 Boys & a Girl

3 Boys & a Girl

My posts have been a little more rambling, a little less family journal lately, so I shall try to balance the scale a bit here. Baby F – 8 months now.  Just two teeth still, sweet little baby.  He’s just beginning to army-crawl, and he will pull himself to standing.  Mobility, here we come!  He’s...

Those Silkies

Those Silkies

Remember what the Birthday Fairy brought C this year? The parents kids have enjoyed them to no end, as you will see. Yes, Eagle won the binky war. For now, anyway. He started searching out small choking hazards and putting them in his mouth in absence of the pacifier… You understand. Added note:...

Not Wordless but Wet

Not Wordless but Wet

Freedom is 7 months old now. In fact, he’s only really cried in the bath once, which is pretty amazing to me. (Can’t blame him.  It was -ahem- slightly less than room temperature water.  Whoops!) All my other babies hated baths when they were new. Water birthing side-effects?  Maybe?

Well, that was unexpected!

April 14, 2010
Well, that was unexpected!

Setting:  Bedtime.  Past bedtime, really. 4 and ~6 year olds:  Asleep. Baby:  Crying. Toddler:  In his crib, talking to himself. Binkies:  Almost all M.I.A.  Only one — you read that right, ONE — located. One binky.  Two binky-lovers.  Most nights the 2y.o. thinks he needs twoof them to get to sleep, actually, as ALL binkies are HIS binkies, but...

To Comment or Not To Comment…

That's a very good question, and while we're thinking about comments, note: I used to live for comments here. Silly, isn't it? I've grown up a little. Now... I am happy to hear from you, but I am also happy to have you drop by, read a little, laugh a little, and move on quietly to whatever else you have to do. This is a guilt-free blog. ;)
