Mr. Sneaky Pants was dressed in his soccer uniform right after lunch, even though his first game of the season didn't start until 5:30 p.m.  There was a great deal of anticipation involved.  Every fifteen minutes, all afternoon he was right next to me, asking if it was time for…

Looking at my muffin as I'm about to bite in this morning, he says, "Can't you simply share that muffin, Mama?"  

She inherited her front teeth from me.  These new front teeth are exactly, EXACTLY like my front teeth, with the exception that my front teeth actually sprang out to each side at about a 45 degree angle.  They were sooooo super crooked and I had such a terrible overbite (I…

The truth of the matter is that this is the fourth day in a row that I have been stricken with laryngitis.  Not just a scratchy throat, I have been suffering through full blown laryngitis.  I have been whispering for 4 days, including the last few days I was helping…

Lately the kidlets have been crazy about duct tape.  They seriously love the stuff.  The Banana likes to make "band aids" out of colored duct tape and decorate her appendages.  Ya Ya spent a large portion of last week using duct tape, felt material and cardboard boxes to make a…
