Day 188: Ada’s new haircut Here it is. She has a cute little bob with bangs. The hair isn’t in her eyes anymore, and I don’t have to fight keeping clasps in her hair. This will also hopefully stop the long detangling process. Having my hair short solves mine. Here are a few more photos: [...]

Day 187: New Furniture Bad lighting, but here is a shot of the new kitchen furniture to replace the buffet. Nebraska Furniture Mart delivered it this morning. The wine rack comes out and there is an extra shelf that you can put in there. We went ahead and took it out because we already have [...]

Day 186: The easy decisions are the ones made for you Ada decided to give herself a haircut tonight. My decision on whether to cut her hair short and give her bangs is now a pretty easy one to make. She goes in on Wednesday morning with James. No matter how I brush it, those [...]

I’m eating pizza at 10:14pm. It is oh so yummy! Geekmom, Verminiusrex*, and the kiddos spent the day at our house. They brought over Mario Kart Wii, and now I know I want the game. I don’t think that I’ll go on a great quest to find it, but whenever I’m in a location that [...]

Everybody is asleep but me. The television is off. The only noise is the tumbling of the clothes in the dryer. And in a minute, some soft music. The kids got up before 7:00am. Both of them. I got up, showered while Ada roamed the bathroom. Then I got James up. We all had breakfast. [...]

The kids are getting a new playroom downstairs. I was going to dig in and steam clean all the carpets downstairs while it was still relatively empty and finish the painting that never got done in the downstairs bedroom and hallway. I was looking over the space for the playroom and I decided that it [...]

Day 184: The end of an era (albeit, a small era) Era One: The Highchair Years I still call James by the name “Baby J,” but I do have to admit that the correct description for him is “Toddler.” We converted the high chair to a toddler chair. Instead of sitting by the table, he [...]

It does not need to say “ow” everytime I step on the board. I have crappy balance. This is probably why I cannot walk on ice no matter how appropriate the shoes, and I’ve never understood how anybody could run in heels. The Wii asked me if I fall down often while walking. It put [...]
