Today is the first day of spring. Here in Wisconsin, that often doesn’t mean much. We usually still have snow on the ground, and this year is no exception. But today was a gorgeous, sunny day. It was still plenty chilly, only getting to about 40 degrees or so, but the sun was shining and […]
Some of the fun/good/happy things that happened this week:
Caden’s buddy, Emily, and her little sister, Sarah, came to visit with their mom, my friend, Lisa. Our bug service came to ensure I don’t have to deal with any creepy-crawlies for the next few months (besides the ladybugs that are making their way into my […]
The grocery store: They insist on riding in the cart with a truck cab in front, which is very difficult to steer, and greatly decreases the amount of room in the cart for our groceries. And now they’re getting bigger so they don’t fit as well in there together. The mall: At each mall […]
…to a not-so-perfect day.
I just got back from dinner at North Star American Bistro with a crew of friends from high school. Yes, I’m still very good friends with a decent number of people from high school. It probably helps that a bunch of us married “incestuously” by marrying people from high school, myself […]
I was at Baby Gap yesterday, and they have these new onesies that have astrological signs on them with descriptions. Here are the ones for the boys:
Noah-Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22 (I hate not being a Scorpio on certain charts!)
I’m wise beyond my years. I will be a leader. Love to win. Magnetic, intense, […]
It’s time to accept the snow that has blanketed our lovely area. There’s almost 2 feet of snow on the ground, and we’re supposed to get some more tomorrow. This snow is here to stay for a while. Probably until May. Ugh.
So Andy and I decided to bundle up the boys and head to […]
Jingles the elf has arrived at our house. She came with a letter saying that she is here to watch over the boys and to see if they’re naughty or nice during the day. At night, she returns to the North Pole to report to Santa. I’m not sure how well it will work, but […]
We braved the mall on Saturday. It’s already crazy busy. I’m really not a huge fan. But we promised we’d take the boys to see Santa. Noah came prepared. He brought one of his toy catalogs.
This year, I’ve been asking him what he wants from Santa. I hate to admit it, but I’ve been […]
Today, around 1:15 CST, I heard some loud voices, followed by a thud. No, I wasn’t taping the beginning of a “Law & Order” episode. I was listening to my four-year-old shove his little brother into the corner of the play table because Noah didn’t want Caden putting more stickers on his sheet of paper.
[…]
A few months ago, Noah let me know he wants a train party for his birthday this year (in October!). Okay, sounds good. He hasn’t changed his mind once. It’s always been trains, and it will end up being trains in a few weeks.
A few weeks ago, Noah told me that for his 6th […]
