Early Morning Ramblings

Adam swears this actually happened this morning. I’m a little dubious of it, but he insists: Doodles and Pie were dancing when Doodles announced: “You can find more music on DoodlesandPie.com. And you can order us online for birthday parties and shows.” Of course, while I was sitting in my office typing this, I heard [...]

Why I Eat Cupcakes for Breakfast

This is what my office looks like: This is what my living room looks like: This is what the kids’ playroom looks like: So I’ve mentioned before there are things I don’t blog about. But the biggest one consuming me must now come out of the closet. Because the closet is about to be demoed. [...]

The Perfect Present!

My mom found these while looking for gifts for Doodles. They should be on everyone’s “must have” lists:a Lego set for Bush fans and a way to transport the folks at Guantanamo Bay.

Balls, I Say!

We were invited to Ball Night at the kids former daycare. It’s a fun night with food and lots of games. Unfortunately Doodles was sick. But the day started out looking like we could go, so we were chatting about it. Me: We’re going to ball night.Doodles: Yeah! I love ball night! Pie: Cinderella went [...]

Take a Chance on Her

Last Wednesday, Adam took Doodles to Fenway for a Red Sox game (as you can see from the picture below from last Wednesday). Pie really wanted to go, but Fenway can be a bit of a madhouse and we knew she wouldn’t last as long as Doodles could (he actually made it to the end [...]

Too Cool for You

Praise Lord!

Our cable company went digital and we got about a zillion new channels, most of them completely worthless. There has never been so much nothing on TV. But… we’ve had the return of one channel that I’m in enthralled with and that Adam is completely horrified by. This is saying a lot. That man has [...]

Why on This Night Do We Dip Our Herbs Twice?

She later told me that Doodles responded by saying, “That’s good because Jewish people eat herbs.” Of course he was referring [...]
