It's Pottery Barn Kids, who ask us to spend $79 to dress our kids up as a box of french fries this Halloween.
Umm.. no thanks.
Look who's smoking crack!
Only 134 days till Christmas!

Do you hate me for that or what. LOL Even with two kids birthdays to plan, back to school stuff, I can't help but to start thinking of Christmas just a little!! I love Christmas. This Florida weather really puts a damper on my holiday joy, know what I am saying? You all who grew up in the northeast, group hug.
*I was just looking for a picture of pine trees covered in snow to post and now I think instead I'll just cry.
getting close
to school that is... I am feeling a little better because we got a letter this weekend from the kindergarten teacher, and Andrew got into the class we were hoping for. The teacher is a friend of a friend, and that makes me feel better and less meat-grindery about the whole thing. She seems very sweet, and Andrew is pretty psyched that she knows her Transformers, having two sons herself.
Yesterday Liam had his 15 month appointment - where did that time go!??!! And Elaina had her 4 year appointment and got her exam for school and all that.
I love being the mother of school-age kids. It really is fun. I adore babies and all their soft sweetness, but I really like all the logic and reason that come with 4 yr olds and older.
Right now its about 6:30 am and I am sitting in the dark drinking coffee - aahhhhhhh. Andrew woke me up at 6 asking me to please put Liam back to sleep because he was "scweeming"... I was so out of it I didn't hear him on the monitor and it took poor Andrew about 5 tries before I grasped what he was telling me. LOL So I went in and got the baby to go back to sleep for a bit, and Andrew fell back to sleep in my bed. Now I am sitting here hissing at the cat to "Shut the ___ up" because she is sitting at the bedroom door meowing in that horribly loud meow of hers.
Well I will include a few random pics from this weekend since I hate posts that are all text.
That would be Liam, coated in sunblock, making his "beastie face"
I need a fake remote for the Wii
Saturday, August 9, 2008
I cannot call it a wii-mote. Do people actually call it that? I dont like to use non-words.
Anyway, Liam really really likes the remotes. So much so that in the morning when he gets up, he gestures wildly at the top of the armoire (where all the wii crap is) until (John, stop reading now) I stop pretending I dont know what he wants and I give it to him. My husband doesn't like this because the Wii is precious. But I always put the wrist strap on him. And lately he has been accepting the nunchuk... which is cheaper. So that is a step in the right direction.
