Call Marvel; we have new superheroes. Well, since Hellboy is already on the roster and Toothless Girl’s superpower skillset sounds rather dubious, I guess we’ll just have to keep these two for ourselves. Henry is doing great. He does do one funny thing though. When he starts crying, he turns this color: Happily he’s lacking [...]
The kids have had spring break this week; and with a new baby around and Mommy not so spry, that translates into an excessive amount of movie viewing. Hook has been a favorite on the menu. And apparently that results in conversations like this one from tonight with Georgie: Georgie:Â Mom, was Captain Hook right? [...]
Well, Kyra and Anika are now pretty fully recovered, but Faith had the flu earlier in the week (fever only lasted two days for her instead of seven like Kyra or five like Anika). She’s not sick anymore, but now my husband has it and has been mostly zombified since Thursday. He seems worse every [...]
Several weeks back my older three children finally got collectively clever enough to pull a prank on my Hubby. Trinity called him into the dining room to “show him something” and when he got beneath the stair railing, the other kids upstairs dumped all the laundry directly out of their hamper and onto his unsuspecting [...]
Don’t you just hate it when you get those? Two of my children are sick, Anika and Kyra. Ani came down with a whopping fever on Tuesday and has been pretty much glued to the couch ever since. Her fever seems a bit lower this morning than the 104 it was yesterday, but now she’s [...]
We got in a discussion tonight about various things the children remember being disciplined for (the kids brought this up, not us). Georgie said mostly he gets in trouble for messing with the girls. I replied that you’d think he’d figure out to be nice to them! This ensued: Georgie: Sometimes the brutal urge just [...]
Yesterday was SuperBowl Sunday and we spent the afternoon with George’s sister and some friends at George’s parents house. Before church while I was sitting on the floor in the big kids’ room helping Anika get her tights on, I told the kids we were going over to Auntie Masha’s to go watch the football [...]
Do this really need further exposition? In case you are one of those blissful childless people who has never experienced this lovely pastime, I just want you to know that when you have kids and get to potty training (by which time, hopefully I’ll be done or maybe have only one left), I plan to [...]
Kyra and Faith often come in when they wake up in the morning (around 8:15 or so) and climb up on me & George’s bed to visit for a few minutes. The other day George was already showered and in his office when Kyra came in to visit with me (she’s 3). Her lips have [...]
Oh wait, that’s “Resistance is futile.” Well, if they had small children and didn’t live in a cube, no doubt they would agree that mopping is also futile. My out-of-town cousin and his family (three kids) came over on Saturday for the day, and my parents and my brother & family (one kid) came over [...]
