It was the best day ever/It was the worst day ever

June 1, 2012 by Elaine

My oldest child loves to rate the day by those two phrases above.  He’s been doing this for years now. Yesterday was the worst day ever because he stubbed his toe REALLY badly (seriously, the entire base of this toenail is purple right now). Today was the best day ever because I turned on the…

Sometimes, it’s just as hard as it looks…

May 24, 2012 by Elaine

Summer is almost here and I have mixed feelings.  On the one hand I am happy to have a break from making lunches every morning and getting kids to school by a certain time, but on the other hand, I will miss the routine. I am most happy to not to have to help with…

There’s Sand in My Ears and Other Places I Won’t Mention

June 11, 2010 by Elaine

I’m not sure how to express what a “time” we’ve had on this vacation. We are here with our good friends, who also have two boys, including one that is also six and great friends with The B Man. And. If I had a little dime for every time the aforementioned words “poop” and “farts”…

Photostory Friday – Coolin’ Down

June 12, 2009 by Elaine

This was supposed to have been MY frozen lemonade but of course once the toddler saw it, that was no longer the case. And if you couldn’t tell, HE enjoyed it immensely…. Don’t worry, I did get a few bites because he took a few breaks to run back through the water in the little…
