A Day with my sick daughter
Yesterday and today I stayed home with Adrianna because she has been running a fever, throwing up and generally not feeling well. In fact, we took her to the ER last night because her temp reached 103 and she was shaking. Of course, my mind always goes to the worst possible situation so, of course, I assumed [...]

Brock has been a thumb sucker since day 1. A binkie just wouldn’t cut it because he would roll it around in his mouth for a few seconds, spit it out, scream his fool head off and then eventually find his thumb and would self-soothe. For awhile, it was no big deal but now that [...]

Last night, Brock wanted to spend the night with his grandparents and Adrianna decided that she would rather stay home with us. She still has some Christmas money so we thought we would take her shopping and have dinner and just have a little one-on-one time with our little princess. Of course she had other [...]

Words I just heard coming from the toy room: “Give me one! I want to play with one of your transformers, too!” I will give you 3 guesses who said that. Here’s a clue: it wasn’t me or either of the kids.

*Preemptive disclaimer: Since I got my new iPhone (squeeeee!), I have been using it to take pictures rather than my super nice DSLR. Please forgive me for the shitty quality of the upcoming pictures. I will get over my iObsession. iEventually. iMaybe.* Even though we have had the Christmas tree up for a few weeks [...]

Last night, against our better judgment, we took the kids to see jolly old St. Nick. At first, we weren’t going to tell them but Brock doesn’t like surprises, so we figured rather than having a meltdown, it would be best that he have a few minutes to prepare himself to meet the big man. [...]

This weekend we had one of our big (extended) family Thanksgiving dinners. This one was at my maternal grandparents’ house which is always fun because there are TONS of people there (there were even more than usual there this year!) and several of my cousins have kids that are about my kids’ ages. Holy run-on [...]

There’s this guy. He’s technically my sister’s boyfriend but I’m pretty sure my kids would willingly take over for her if she would let them. He’s a firefighter and he gave Greg, the kids and I a private tour of his fire station. Brock was immediately in love and didn’t stop asking questions, turning dials, [...]

This weekend, we were coming home from a birthday party and Greg asked Brock if he would help him do something when we got home. The following conversation might have been the best thing I’ve ever heard. Greg: “Hey buddy? Will you help me do _______ when we get home?” Brock: “NO!” Greg: {taken aback} [...]

This morning I kissed my babies goodbye as their grandfather scooped them up in one big ball of stuffed animals, squeals and giggles. They could have cared less when I said I was going to be gone all weekend. They didn’t notice that I teared up as I kissed both of them on their little [...]
