Solution

Kids driving you crazy? Won’t stop talking? Mine came up with an ear-saving solution all by themselves.

The Executive

Sunday, May 1st, 2011

This little boy makes me giggle every day. He says the funniest things and makes the funniest faces. Sadly, he is also one sensitive dude, and gets pretty upset if you laugh at him. So I do my best to snicker to myself and guffaw when he’s not looking. I mean, come on…

And HELLO NOLAN! Nice to have you back!

The Music Man

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Since Nolan will not be allowed to play competitive sports as he grows up, we are trying to get him involved early with other outlets. Luckily, we’re both fairly musically oriented, and Nolan is also showing an early propensity for art. So, we think we’ve got it covered. Ask us again once little brother starts playing T-Ball and Nolan has to ask us why he can’t play. But we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

For now, we’re on a roll. We signed Nolan up for a little music class that a friend is teaching out of her house. It’s delightful, and she is doing all kinds of music appreciation with them. Today they had a little performance of the songs they learned. Unfortunately, we got there a little late and Nolan was a little out of sorts because of it (not to mention in desperate need of a haircut). By the end he warmed up, though, and had a good time. And he got a recorder to bring home (Oh joy!) which promptly broke upon us arriving home (Oh darn!).

Glitter Girl and Muscle Man

Friday, March 4th, 2011

We had a fun play date today and one of the moms brought her set of Glitter Tattoos, and agreed to let the kids try them. And because little bro does everything big sis does, he had to get one as well! Not to worry, Glitter Tattoos come in the manly variety as well.

First, there was the Tinkerbell

And then there was Lightening McQueen, aka Muscle Man

This guy's eyes glitter and shine so much, he doesn't NEED no stinkin' Glitter Tat :)

S(no)w Day

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

We got our first/only snow day of the year and let’s just say… Portland snow leaves a little to be desired. And after the 30 minutes it takes to get the kids suited up (after the 30 minutes it takes to dig all the snow clothes out of storage), they were able to go outside for about 14 and 1/2 minutes before they were cold, tired and whining for hot chocolate.  Ah well. At least we have the pictures to prove it was here. Because by the end of the day, it wasn’t anymore!
