WW: Moving In Together

Again With The Lunch

So, the lunch tirade has not been forgotten.
Tonight we went to dinner with my father. We went to a real restaurant where the kids could get real food even though we had to drive a lot farther to get there.  Then they ordered off the regular menu, because if you have kids then you know [...]

Solo Baking

So, really I’m a copycat because D posted about her daughter’s solo run, but reading that nudged me that Ems has been asking to do a solo bake, so I let her do it Sunday.  She chose chocolate chip cookies since we seem to make them a lot around here and she’s helped me quite [...]

Happy Halloween.

A Magical Crossing

Toad Love

“Mommy, mommy come upstairs I have a secret.  It’s in my wardrobe.”

Well, hello there Toad!
She very carefully snuck it into the house [...]
