The blahs of winter


Are here. Fortunately I have 3 lovely children to help me never actually be bored.  This weekend should be fun. Dinner with friends - Asian-themed - we'll bring the shrimp in the form of grilled shrimp with zippy sauce and nimchow - one family till do chicken sate, and another family will bring asian inspired vegees.  The kids all get along famously, except Evelyn, she's just littler than all the others.  I can relate.  I was always the odd kid out, nuisance to the older kids, always getting in to everybody else's stuff.  Hopefully that will be a fleeting thing and she'll be adaptable soon and less wont to make messes at her friends' homes.  And, hopefully, she won't do what she did last weekend, and scream for an hour (during Ernie's party - she was just awful, presumably because it wasn't  all.about.her)  Anyway -- I was in the mood to send myself an email, read: blog.  

Now go away blahs!  Shoo!

Proud mama moment

for all the parents - grandparents - and friends with children people
who "like" this page. I wanted to share a story from a friend who
just dropped off my 5 yo. They were eating lunch, sandwiches together
with some crudites. My 5 year old son said to my friend, "what is the
white stuff" (on the plate)? It was Ranch Dip. What a proud Mom
moment. The second proud moment happened at the end of lunch, when my
son said, "can I have more veggies, please?" He.is.YYS (really- he
was the one who said it!)

He is sitting on the steps, waiting for his bus, eating broccoli and
carrots! :) Love that kid!

for my shoez friends, a little shoegasm




 

SERIOUSLY???   Where did you get those shoes?

duck, duck, GOOSE!

better in a cornfield than on my sidewalk! I loved this vista --
foggy, misty, snowy, warmish, and all the feathered friends were
hanging out.

the stink face doesn't do his joy justice!

Let's go pats!

ok, everyone, on your computing devices!

Ernie, Avery, Addison, Dee, and Dee's friend Missy were all on
computing devices at the same time last night. It was hilarious.
