While I was lazily lounging around reading a book in my cozy bed this morning, my costume makers were busy making robot outfits out of some recycling supplies they came across in the garage.  They were very elaborate, actually.  Sarah's had leg holes, and a series of buttons that could…

As we were snuggling up in a fuzzy fleece blanket yesterday morning, Mr. Sneaky Pants and I were discussing two large black crows outside our patio door who were scrounging around for birdseed dropped on the ground by our resident messy squirrels.      Me:  What kind of food would…

It's creating some problems, but you can't deny that it's beautiful.  If I hadn't been getting soaking wet, my camera and I would have been out there much longer.

Three kidlets!  Looking the same direction!  No one is crying or whining!  I get one of these pictures every two or three years, so take notice.  

Queen of accessories, The Banana needed to wear her scarf, her favorite hat, and carry along the favorite baby doll of the day when we went for a short walk after school.  She loves that hat because Sarah sometimes wears it too, and she thinks she's pretty hot stuff when…
