First Day of School Carson did great.  He walked in to his classroom like it was no big deal and probably wouldn’t have noticed if I’d not given him a hug and a kiss before we left.  There were lots of crying kids in the hallway, so I am thankful that Carson was easy. I … [Read more…]

Getting ready for school I’ve been working on getting Carson all ready for school for the past week.  I know I’m worrying more than I should and I know that in a week I’ll be putting his bag together in my sleep.  But I worry.  It’s just something I do.  I don’t want him to … [Read more…]

  Miss Mischief Carson introduced Betsy to this treasure of a place yesterday and now I know exactly where she’s headed when I put her down in the living room and she starts crawling away.  Pulling on cords, emptying trash cans, tearing up paper.  Life does not get any better than this when you’re 1! … [Read more…]

My love-hate relationship with rice This is why I don’t often cook rice for Carson.  Betsy made less of a mess than he did at dinner tonight. Ben is out of town until Wednesday and while in my dream world that means I get really serious about getting stuff done, I know that after the … [Read more…]
