“I’m going to work.” He says this a lot. Almost always while holding something with a handle, like Ben’s briefcase. I love that he imitates Ben. It makes me smile every time he does it. Today was pretty typical, but I did learn two very valuable lessons. Mothers of boys, listen up. Do not mention … [Read more…]
Standing Up I went to get Betsy from her nap and she looked like this. Standing up. Grinning like crazy, no doubt as a result of the look on my face when I walked in. We have a big girl on our hands! I have a confession to make. I really like TV. My favorite … [Read more…]
Minions If you’ve seen Despicable Me 2, then you know the significance of these two toys. If not, go see it! The yellow minion is the good minion. The purple minion is the bad minion. He was a good minion but was injected with a serum that turned him into this crazed “purple guy” who … [Read more…]

Ginger Kisses Today was WAY better than yesterday. I had time to blog, just about finished laundry and watched part of a movie…interrupted by a crying child of course :) But even with that I was so pleased with the day. It’s amazing how a bad day can make you so appreciative of the … [Read more…]
The Best Bed Head Today was pretty horrible. Betsy took short naps and in between those naps she was a total grump. She is getting two teeth. I can see and feel them about to break through and it is no fun for anybody. Carson was also being quite the grump, voicing his opinions … [Read more…]
TEETH We are having a rough time back home. Part of it is readjusting to being home and on call 24/7. And part of it is Betsy’s teeth, which are bothering just about everyone in this house, and possibly the neighbors. She is a grump and not much helps. I will be one thankful … [Read more…]
