We’ve read through How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight, How Do Dinosaurs Clean Their Rooms, and How Do Dinosaurs Say I’m MAD, among others.

six year old taco
Poof! Another year gone. And suddenly Lydia is six whopping years old. I would almost swear the years are going by faster. Lydia is really a well-rounded kid. She’s my outgoing child, very athletic and eager to please. She is still very much a morning girl, rising with the sun. I recently invested in a […]
dive dive dive
The kids have really been putting me through my paces this week. There have been a lot of arguments between the two of them, a lot of hitting, spitting, and general brawling. I am very glad we made it to Friday. A few days ago I dragged out the inflatable pool since it was finally […]

Usually I’m a big fan of winter, but I am so completely DONE with this winter. Just a few weeks ago Steven was snowed in at work for two days, and now we’re being threatened again with two different icy snow events this week. If it could hold off until tomorrow at least — Steven […]
goo goo jason’s little tax exemption
Last Wednesday was a perfectly ordinary day. It was Steven’s last day of work until the new year and the kids and I did our usual stuff. A bit of school with Lydia, a bit of outside time, an ordinary day all around. That evening Sam went to bed without much fuss, and as Steven […]
would anybody like a peanut?
Sam came running up to me, crying and holding his crotch. Sam: “Wahhhhh! Lydia kicked my bootie!” Me: “That’s not your bootie, Sam, that’s your penis.” Sam: “I want some peanuts.”
