Back at it

After a brief rest, I am back to hauling kids to a class. That’s right. Kids. Today Jay made his debut. The nice part is Ada and Jay’s class were available back to back. They are both taking a tumbling class. I wanted to get a run in now in my brief break before I [...]

Jay Stats, For My Record

Sep 3rd, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 1

I wanted to measure Jay for his Halloween costume, so I have more stats. He’ll be four in February. Height: 41 inches–Just a smidgen over, but not so much that I just rounded down. That’s just beneath the 90th percentile. Weight: 33.6 lbs — Almost right on the 50th percentile. I thought Jay looked like [...]

One Halloween Costume Down

Aug 26th, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 3

I have found Jay’s Halloween costume. I’m going to measure him tomorrow and order it then. I learned my lesson on waiting on that. If I had a sewing machine or sewing skills, well, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal. Anyhow, Jay wants to be Mario. All Jay talks about is Mario. Mario [...]

If You Smell One Kid, Be Prepared To Smell Them All

Aug 24th, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 1

I had to go back to Jay’s daycare this morning because that thing I kept thinking that I was forgetting all morning at home and couldn’t think what it was turned out to be his blanket and pillow. I went back home, got it, went back to his preschool, which is fine because I also [...]

Twice The Effort, Twice The Reward?

Jul 2nd, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 0

Having the kids clean their room takes about twice as long than if I just kick them out and clean their room. But I’d rather not be the one cleaning their room the rest of the time they live with me. It is really hard for a three and five year old to just be [...]

The 360 has gone Ford on us

Apr 2nd, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 1

Our XBox broke, and now that I can’t play FFXIII, I want to play FFXIII*. It isn’t a big deal, actually. The DVD drive quit working. None of the standard troubleshooting issues have worked. The solution: Mac: Our warranty expired in December. Me: Drats. Doesn’t that mean though that we can go ahead and break [...]

Temae Miso

You know that wonderful smell of rain and earth that occurs only in the Spring? I love it. Except when it is ground into my carpet. Thanks, children. I really wanted to spend the entire night steaming the carpets*. Yesterday was warm and sunny and beautiful and muddy. Today is cold and rainy and still [...]

Jay Christmas Card 2009

Jay’s Christmas card photo. I couldn’t shoot this just in the dark, but I couldn’t use the strobe, even at the lowest power drown out the lights. What I ended up using was the modeling light in my AB800. I don’t have seamless paper, hence the floor wrinkles.
