Started Autumn Cleaning tonight, with the first “room” – the front porch. Swept off all of the leaves, knocked down cob webs, changed lightbulbs, put out the fall flag, etc.
The “etc” included being scared half to death by a bird still nesting in one of the light fixtures (thought it was an [...]

1) As of yesterday, Chloe is a verbal beast. “Mama” in context, correctly applied. Swoon.
2) I win the mother of the year award, after both babies sustained significant bonks to the noggin within 10 seconds of each other tonight. Chloe crawled off the seat of the recliner as I was bringing Emma [...]

Why the lack of new posts? Nothing particularly interesting is going on (not that that’s stopped me before) so will just update my three readers with the following list of my recent activities:
Whittling away at Mount Washmore, which was originally roughly the size of a Volkswagen Bug (the 60’s model) and is now only one load [...]

I know, I know. Only the lamest of mommybloggers blog about laundry. But I never actually said I wasn’t lame.

* The babies have begun to notice one another this week. Emma grins at Chloe occasionally, with this “OMG! It’s you!” face. Hysterical. Chloe mostly wants to pat Emma on the face, like a toy. Will have to try to get this stuff on video.

Done wrapping, finally. (No thanks to UPS who lost my B&N order until today…argh.) Now to finish the Christmas dresses.
Also, is there some Christmas/holiday giraffe tradition of which I’m not aware? Because someone down the street has a giant giraffe with a red bow on its neck (along w/ inflatable Santa et al) and I’m [...]

Your humble author is halfway down the aisle, double stroller and shopping cart in tow, with her three page list of items, in search of marshmallow creme. She has been in SuperHellMart approximately 45 minutes, and has found fewer [...]
