Learning to Use A Spoon

He has been want­ing to use a spoon at a lot of meals lately.  How­ever, we may need to work a lit­tle bit with him on this one.  Since he insists on try­ing to eat with the han­dle.   Granted any attempt to switch the spoon around results in a ptero­dactyl screech that sends shiv­ers done your spine.  Of course once he has his spoon back in his hand, upside down, he is all smiles & laughs.   Per­son­ally I pre­fer smiles & laugh­ter to the pre­his­toric attack of the ptero­dactyl screech.

If I Wasn’t a Four-Eyed Freak

in in life

When I was very young I wanted to wear glasses. I thought it was “cool” to have a pair. I have no idea why. Because now that my glasses are the first thing I grab in the morn­ing & the last thing I take off at night I’m not sure I want them EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE!!

I use to wear con­tacts more, but when I was in my last trimester with Mr. J my eyes got so dry that I couldn’t stand wear­ing them. With breast­feed­ing, lack of sleep and the sub­se­quent years of preg­nan­cies, breast­feed­ing and lack of sleep I have not been able to wear them.

But some­times I pre­tend to not have them.

Note the glasses are on my head because right after tak­ing this pic­ture I had to put them back on.

Or I might have mis­taken a wall for Hubby & kissed it.

Which would have been embar­rass­ing because let’s be hon­est I’m SO outta the wall’s league.

Really I would have been kiss­ing down. Given it is a wall & all.

Knights in White Satin

At the end of the day there are many lit­tle dis­plays and left­over rem­nants of the children’s play that I find around the house. The other night after all the kids were sound asleep in their beds (THANK YOU ALMIGHTY HEAVENS!!). I found two knights perched on the sec­ond shelf of our cof­fee table. Stopped in the mid­dle of their bat­tle of good ver­sus evil stopped silent by the call for bed­time. Knights frozen in time.

Cookie Time

by beth January 21, 2010

I was pleas­antly sur­prised when watch­ing Mr. G, Mamacita, and D-man have cookie time together. Mr. J was not home at the time & don’t get him started on how “ALL THE FUN STUFF HAPPENS WHEN I AM NOT HOME!” his exact words. When really dude NOTHING much hap­pens with­out you here. But try explaining […]
