Hey Santa!

December 14, 2010 by Elaine

Good, bad or indifferent, I don’t have a picture of my child/children with Santa Claus every year. For the first couple of years of The B Man’s life I guess it was just not that important to me/us. The first photo he has with Santa is pictured below. He was two and half. And, I…

Does it count as “vlog” if all you see is my arm and I’m just talking in the background?

December 12, 2010 by Elaine

While Tim and The B Man were off to the school book fair the other night I felt the need to record the smaller kids in the bath together. They are so cute. I know you won’t disagree. It’s actually physically impossible to do so. And please, watch the whole thing (or FF to the…

You Should Have Seen the Party That Led Up to This – WW

December 8, 2010 by Elaine

I thought I heard a ruckus comin’ from the boys’ room the other night but I just shrugged it off. But THEN. In the morning I came to find this. Word on the street is that Jesse is quiet the harlot. Don’t let her distance in this shot fool you. I knew that girl was…

Early

November 21, 2010 by Elaine

There are two times when I know my children will be quiet. When they are sleeping. And when they are eating dessert. They get a lot of dessert. And a fair amount of sleep… This morning Little G got up to take a tinkle at 5:34 according to the clock in our bedroom. Afterward he…

The Robot Book – Giveaway!

November 1, 2010 by Elaine

Both of my boys like books a lot but are obviously at very different levels when it comes to which books they are “reading” (since B is actually reading and G is still learning his alphabet!) But The Robot book is great because The B Man can read it to Little G while he plays…

You Capture – Animals

October 14, 2010 by Elaine

When I saw this topic I thought “I could TRY to get some pictures of our hamster.” You know, the one that’s the size of a mouse and runs really bleepin’ fast. Yeah, not happening. So my second thought came to fruition. My kids have A LOT of animals alright. As you can see right…

You Capture – Mornings

September 2, 2010 by Elaine

Mornings start pretty early around here.Yesterday’s started at 5:58 a.m. Like I said, early. I do not wake up by alarm clock.. I usually wake up by hearing “WAAAAAAH!!” or “I gotta go potty!” or “can you turn the t.v. on?”. You can probably guess which child goes with which statement. So… in order to…
