• To Cut, To Not Cut

    I had plans to take Mr. Cuddles to the hair cut store for a snip snap before my brother’s wedding on June 10th. I was planning on doing that today in fact. But for the last three days the weather has been humid, and his hair as coiled up in…

  • Difficult Subject

    This child is nearly impossible to get a good picture of lately, and she’s not really very interested in trying either. She’d rather ride her bike. She’d rather do just about anything in liu of having her picture taken. So I was particularly excited about this snap from this evening.

  • Bribery

    I bribed Ms. Crazy Preschooler right before bed tonight: ten pictures in exchange for a game of sloth dominoes. Actually it ended up to be two games of sloth dominoes (one of my favorite kids games, by the way). I won one, and she won one. All the pictures on…

    Mr. Cuddles fell for the two hundreth time today and scraped his knee for the first time ever. It didn’t phase him a bit, but his sister freaked out at the sight of the blood. She insisted he have a band aid right away, but it didn’t last very long…

  • First Haircut

    Last Thursday Ms. Crazy Preschooler and I were waiting for a student to come who forgot her lesson day. I asked her if she’d like me to cut her hair, and she said, “Sure!” Not wanting to pass up the opportunity, I steered her to the kitchen, found my sewing…

We turned around. “Did you GIVE him that cookie?” asked the incredulous pediatrician nutrition enforcer. “What cookie?” I responded. “Oh my goodness! He stole one off the stove.”…

  • Nightmare Real Estate Tour

    This past weekend my husband interviewed for a job in Duluth, MN. It was a fantastic weekend, really. We toured schools, went to museums, played at the waterpark in our hotel and ate some terrific pasta. On Saturday morning we were schedulued to meet with a real estate agent who…

  • Copy Cat

    Noah has turned into quite the copy cat lately. Whatever Ms. Crazy Preschooler does, he HAS to do too. Ms. CP was swinging and spinning around on her swing on her tummy. After a bit she left to pick some dandelions and I followed her with the camera only to…

  • Cute Guy in a Swing

    I know that parents always think their own toddlers are the cutest kids ever, but I cannot help but want to scoop this little guy up when I see these pictures! Aaack! I just want to squeeze him to death!
