If Every Day . . .

Could be like yesterday, then 2010 will be a great year.
Ok, I just had a lot of trouble typing that number. How strange. How awkward. 2010. Almost mistyped it again.
We spent the day home for the most part, with the exception of a trip to the comic book store so the boys could spend their [...]

Christmas Quandary

Ok, when a neighbor gives you a big plate of Christmas cookies on a pretty nice Christmas plate covered in plastic wrap, do you return the plate? Or is that part of the gift?
I did truffles in little candy dishes and I intended for them to keep the dishes, but now that I’m on the [...]

We start with Sam’s field trip to a local farm, which happened to take place on his birthday. I think he might have thought the whole thing [...]

Oh, The Insanity that is a 4 Year Old’s Birthday Party

I don’t even know how I’m blogging; I should finish painting the solar system poster for our “Pin the Earth In [...]
