Stop Thinking About Me

…it’s time to find the children.

Isobel woke up earlier than usual so she zonked out before her usual nap time. So naturally she found the comfiest spot in the house…. on the arcade control panel.

I took the kids to a city Easter Egg Hunt this year only to be disappointed in the city’s poor planning. By the time that we arrived (on time, you may not believe it, but it’s true) ALL of the eggs were gone. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.  A woman stopped us and forced her son to [...]

This little girl is lucky that she is so cute when she is upset.
 
This little girl is lucky that she is so cute even when she is angry with crazy hair.

This little girl is lucky that her cute little handprint didn’t stain my couch.

I think I’m feeling more frustrated than lucky right now.

Happy St. Patrick’s [...]

It’s hard being naughty all day. Sometimes you just need a nap.

Last week.
I want to forget last week.
I am tired.

Isobel.
She is on a roll.

Isobel is a funny little girl. She is determined to do things her own way (most children are).
The other day she discovered that she can pick paint off the wall in the computer room. Then she discovered that she likes to eat the paint chips.
If eating paint chips wasn’t bad enough, our house was built [...]

Before I was married and had children (you know, when you have no children, yet know everything there is to know about raising them…) I had decided that Santa was not going to be a part of my future family’s holiday traditions. My children would understand that all presents were bought by mom and dad and [...]

My camera broke. I can still take pictures, but the display screen does not work. (It’s like owning a cell phone and then having to go back to a phone with the spiral chord.) This means that I cannot erase the pictures on my card because I cannot access the menu. Our memory card holds [...]

I had a pair of yoga pants that were in my thrift store pile when I realized that I could give them new life. I have seen this idea on many sites and I have wanted to give it a try. I was excited to use my new serger.
I forgot to take a picture of the pants before [...]

Isobel is such a funny baby. She has to be involved in everything and pushes chairs around the house to make sure that she is never left out. She pushed the chair up to the table and begged for some bean dip. I love when she answers me and shakes her head.
