. . . And all’s right in our little corner of the world. M loved camp. I drove to Wa Wa Segowea to get her while Cute W stayed local to get J off the bus from her daycamp. She gave me a hug, then pulled me by the hand around camp looking for her … [Read more…]
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Wednesday is my CSA pick-up day, and as you know, I’ve been getting tons of vegetables. Tons. I’ve been eating zucchini at least once a day (starting with those eggs) for weeks, Cute W made pickles, and I’ve been smuggling the unpopular yellow squash into meals. We’re putting in some … [Read more…]
Little J is regressing a bit at night. Lately she’s been trying to climb into bed with us, so we’ve re-instituted the princess pull-out sofa bed right next to ours. I’m sort of hoping that just knowing that it’s there is comfort enough for her. She’s also been begging and pleading with me to breastfeed … [Read more…]
When thunderstorms scrapped our afternoon pool plans, I organized. Reorganized shoes in the closets, vacuumed, cleaned both bathrooms. The girls were pleased with a day of chilling out watching slightly too much tv, but they should have realized that any time I get organized, it doesn’t bode well for them. Sure enough, after dinner I … [Read more…]
Our plan for the day was camp in the morning followed by lunch with one of J’s friends over. They could play while I finished my “to do” list, which included writing an article for Kids Out and About. Then we’d all head to the pool for the afternoon. And yet it seemed that I … [Read more…]
How cute is this? J decided to draw a “map” to plan her day the other morning. Sort of clockwise from lower left, that’s: Swing on tree swing Shop with mom at grocery store Lie down on bed Go to piano lesson (she climbs stairs up to the house) Jump rope Ride bike Read bedtime … [Read more…]
We’ve had errands to run with the girls all week, but I’ve been procrastinating. Every day was too beautiful to go to the store. And finally, we ran out of days, because M had to pick out a birthday gift for a friend. Even before we’d remembered the birthday, I’d been promising the girls new … [Read more…]
We extended our weekend away and only arrived home a few hours ago. I have a ton of accumulated outings for the blog, but no energy to go into them tonight. Luckily we have a couple of weeks of absolutely no travel, so hopefully I’ll be able to catch my breath and catch up with … [Read more…]
Happy 4th of July! Yes, I’ll be telling you about the week ahead. But I figured that I should get this vacation story out of the way for those who have expressed concern. Before our Lake Placid vacation together, I was chatting on the phone with my sister. “I bought all the kids water shoes … [Read more…]
It’s our last day of school, which means I’m now the proud mama of a first grader and a (holy crap!) 4th grader! That makes us all pretty old. Sniff. You might be seeing a new photograph in the header (and if you don’t, you can keep refreshing until you do see it). One of … [Read more…]
