I live in a cluttery mess.  All the time. Sometimes it drives me crazy.  Mostly, I am OK with it, because  it could be so much worse than it is!  The practicality of it, is that a person just cannot keep everything.  There isn’t room to store every glossy catalog…

That’s my guy:  dressed in his brother’s fleece dinosaur hat and smitten with his sister’s sunglasses, with blueberries from breakfast smeared all over his face and shirt.  He loves a good costume, this kid.  He wore this for a good half hour.  I tried so hard to get a really…

Sometimes, on a busy morning before school, YaYa eats a bowl of dry grape nuts.  No milk.  She turns her nose up at milk on cereal because milk makes things soggy, which I completely agree with and totally understand.  However, I’m a bit surprised that she likes grape nuts.  Grape…

She sings and dances everywhere, but this tutu, borrowed for a week from a friend from preschool, has been especially inspiring.  It’s not like we don’t have a lot of tutus around here, but this tutu is not only fluffy, it’s also lacy.  And a delicate pink.

He’s Jeff.  She’s MaryAnne.  Their “job” is to gather ice chunks and smash them up  with the broom to feed their family.  A lot of bashing takes place.  When the broom handle breaks, it is determined that stronger materials are needed, and so they scrounge around and find the wooden…

Sometimes it is just wonderfully convenient that she is now old enough to walk down the street and up the hill alone to go to her friends’ house to play.  She likes the freedom too.

Although it has mostly melted now, we had some beautiful, powdery snow last weekend, and Mr. Trouble on Feet, who recently learned to sign “snow,” really loved it.  He was thrilled with the afternoon activity of sitting in his sled and having his big brother and sister pull him around…
