Doodles had gymnastics camp (which was a woe in and of itself, but I won’t go into that now), so I had some quality Pie time. Pie loves to walk. In the morning, still in her pajamas, she’ll grab my hand and pull me to the door, ordering, “Take a walk! Take a walk! Put [...]

After Doodles opens up his gift, a new plane, and wants to play with it immediately. Me to Adam: Do you want to assemble it or should I do it?Adam: What are you talking about? It comes assembled.Me: So should I assemble it?Adam: It’s pretty much one one piece. See? [Opens lid. Sits back.] Oh [...]

Oh, the greed. The greed! “Presents! Presents! Presents!” The chant haunts me. I hear it in my sleep. I hear it when I’m reading the paper. I hear it in the car. Those two monkeys have it down to a science: Just when I’m relaxing, just when I least expect it, “Can we open more [...]

I asked Doodles to make a card for his grandmother’s birthday.He was happy to comply–the kids likes art (although Pie is obsessed with making pictures). He painted this card, and I said, “I love the bold use of colors!” He replied, “Yeah. Do you know what it is?” “No, I don’t. Do you want to [...]

You don’t need to go ask Alice; you can simply go ask Pie. That’s right, my beautiful, smart, spunky daughter is destined to grow up and be a junkie. And her big brother isn’t going to be too far behind her. About three weeks or so, Pie came down with impetigo. The doctor prescribed a [...]

And now to return to my regularly scheduled mom gripes: The Pie is a force to be reckoned with. At this age, Doodles was a sound sleeper. Pie is too… once she gets to sleep. We’ve returned to the crying for about a half hour or so every night. We’ve given up on the sock [...]

So Roni tagged me with a meme. I think this is actually the first time I’ve been tagged with one, and it is something I’ve actually been thinking about, because when I look at my blog, I feel so one-sided. There’s so much about me none of you know and that I just don’t blog [...]
