C's first day of Kindy was great! She got into the car telling me that she "loved the first day of Kindergarten". Then she proceeded to tell me how she was the best one in the class. I chuckled and asked for an explanation... apparantly those were her words, not the teacher's thankfully. It was something about a time where the teacher ( Read more... )

I had my book club last night. The host lives about 6 minutes away from me, so I left DH with 2 kids bathed, in pj's and totally ready for bed. R was actually walking up the stairs to bed as I walked out the door. Not a tough gig ( Read more... )

I have never seen my kid this tired in his whole life. I'm not sure how it happened. He's been going to sleep at 7PM, waking up between 6 & 6:30. Today he was up at 6:05, but he layed in bed with me until 6:20ish. We went to the park this morning with some friends and they rode bikes for a while. We had lunch at home and then had plans for a ( Read more... )

The other day we were at my IL's swimming with SIL and baby S (who is now 9 mo old). S loves to pull hair and my R was rolling around on the floor near her and she took a big chunk of his hair and pulled. R started crying so hard, it was like she had pulled out a chunk instead of giving him just a yank... we were laughing as payback can be a ( Read more... )

R asked about Wrigley tonight. He asked DH where she was and DH reminded him that she died and she wouldn't be coming home. He started to cry and said "I like Wrigley." Makes me cry thinking about it. I know he'll do that periodically, he definately doesn't grasp the permanence of the situation. C seems to understand that part. Each night ( Read more... )

But, today was hard. I really miss my sweet dog. I kept looking for her today, in the corner of the couch where'd she'd always be after the kids went to bed, under the coffee table where she'd taken to sleeping since she didn't feel good, in the crumples of the bed in the morning ( Read more... )

Wrigley threw up during the night and then didn't eat her breakfast early this morning. I took her to the vet right at 8:00 when they opened. I left her there for some tests, but when the vet did a quick exam of her belly, she could feel something from the outside. I took C to camp and then R and I went home ( Read more... )

C had her 2nd filling this morning. She was not happy at all about it, but she was so great! She kind of sobbed a few times during the drilling, but that lasted for probably less than a minute. It was an upper tooth, so they did a silver filling this time and it was so quick, it was amazing. C was happy to be done and we went for her reward ( Read more... )

I was wrong on the dinner place, but it was a great surprise. We went to a fondue place. I've never been to a total fondue restaurant, it was a blast. The food was yummy!!!!!!! We had a cheese course, it was cheese with pesto and walnuts mixed in it with bread and veggies to dip. Then we had a mushroom salad - also yummy, but not any dipping ( Read more... )

DH was finishing up his stint at the XGames this morning, so I took the kids swimming at the pool this morning and then we went to McDonald's for lunch. We finished eating, went to get the requisite cookies on our way out and left. As we exited, this little boy slipped out of the building with us. I barely noticed him. My car was right in front ( Read more... )
