Kids
Boy, this week is flying by, which is strange because I have almost nothing going on. A comprehensive house-cleaning regimen was formulated a week or so back, but I’ve only done a few things on it. Why get the house all sparkling when you’ve got kids who will just mess it up again before the guests arrive? Expect mad cleaning…
Weekend Summary
We must be living right. Tonight, at 6:30 PM, we took a walk with the kids to see the Christmas lights in our neighborhood. We all had jackets on, with the girls also wearing hats. Ten minutes into the walk, I felt like I needed to ditch the jacket. The sky looked like snow all day long, the only problem…
Christmas For Toddlers
The 2006 tree went up last night. Looks pretty damn good if I say so myself. Pretty much like the last three trees we’ve had. Oh well, a sure sign the holidays are upon us. We’ve been working with M. so that she understands what Christmas is really about. She surprised S. the other day with this conversation. “Christmas is…
C. At Six Months
18 pounds. Six ounces less than M. at the same age. 26.5 inches. 1/2 inch longer than M. Eyes looking bluer every day.
Kids
I wish I had the ability to mentally post to the blog at times. I forget way too much amusing stuff the kids do, but if I could fire off a post from my head, you, the loyal readers and followers of M. and C.’s growth, would never miss a moment of their lives. Here’s what’s going on. Bedtime is…
Halloween 2006
Pics uploading to Flicker as I type this up. M. was a pink octopus. She LOVED her costume. C. wasn’t quite as enthusiastic as M., but she was a fluffy chicken. M. went to six houses and got a pretty decent bag of candy. We immediately dumped almost all of it into our bowl for passing out to kids. She…
Help
Does anyone know how to get the theme from Dora the Explorer out of an adult’s head? Disclaimer: we watch at least three episodes a day in this house, so I’m looking for a way to remove it then block my mind from registering it the next time I hear it. Help is appreciated.
C. At Four Months
I have my first exam in my PR class tomorrow night, along with a couple outstanding projects for my reporting class, so things will be a little slow here for the next few days. Lots of interviews and planning sessions lined up. I wrote about 2000 words about football over the weekend, but they’re desperately in need of editing. So,…
The Kids
It’s been awhile since I documented the growth of my girls. So here’s what’s going on these days. Of most importance is we’ve got two teethers. M. is working on her two year molars, and C. is pushing through her bottom two front teeth. That’s right, she’s getting teeth before she’s four months old. So we’ve been going through Motrin…
Friday Stuff
We took M. to the picture place to get some two-year-old pics taken today. The photographer’s comment after we apologized for M.’s uncooperativeness, “She’s a two-year-old.” M. could not have been less interested or less friendly. Of course, as soon as we were done and went to select what pics to print, she found some boy her age and played…
