Wanna see what it looks like when a kindergartener asks another kindergartener for help tying his shoes…..? It was like macrame` and took me a good 5 minutes to get the knot(s) undone. I miss the velcro closures.
Thanksgiving Decor Wrap-Up
I mentioned that I’ve been a bit busy with my Thanksgiving preparations. We had 20 people for Thanksgiving dinner. My dining room seats 8 people comfortably (…. 10 people uncomfortably). We needed to move things out to the patio. Since we live in Southern California, this is usually a safe move. However, our patio just […]
What’s in a name? And what does it have to do with you leaving the kitchen?
Scene: The kitchen. I am trying to make dinner. Grant is underfoot. Me: “Grant, I need you to get out of here, there are hot things in here and sharp things in here.” Grant: “OK…. Mom? Why didn’t you name me PJ? You shoulda named me PJ.” I just don’t even know what to say […]
Conner the Terrible
Saturday was Conner’s 13th birthday. Today is Tuesday. So much for a timely birthday post. Devin & Conner’s dad and I were in the middle of a divorce when Conner was born. Great timing, right? With each pregnancy, I had pre-term labor issues and each baby was born about 3 weeks early. The evening of […]
Easy monogrammed ornaments.
Make pretty, monogrammed ornaments. Take horrible, plastic, over-sized ornaments from the Dollar Store…. Spray paint them, add a monogram and liberally apply glitter…. Â Ta-da! To do this, I used a Cricut (calligraphy cartridge) and black cardstock.** I watered down a little ModPodge in a shallow dish, then floated the cut letter in there for a […]
Glittered pumpkins on upcycled pedestal stands.
As I try to promote my new business, a friend suggested I come to her Holiday Boutique. I could hand out brochures and business cards. Â Cool. But I figured I should have a little something to sell, too…. and that whatever I sold should be a re-done/re-worked/re-purposed something or other. Here are a few of […]
Definitely a boy thing…
I would’ve thought it is more convenient to blow one’s nose into a kleenex and then toss the kleenex in the trash. Apparently, it is more convenient to pick one’s nose and wipe the contents onto the bathroom counter and mirror. I don’t understand due to the fact I have a vagina.
I have 4 boys…
Scene: Helping Grant with his homework. Mom: “Let’s read the directions… you can choose from this list of words and draw a picture of the word you choose. Here are your choices: mom, dad, brother, sister, grandma, grandpa….” Grant: (incredulous) “Sister!?!? What’s a sister?!??”
Remedial Graffiti Artist
This morning we noticed that Someone had taken a pencil and written on the panes and trim around our sliding glass door. (Please click on the photo to more clearly see the artwork) Someone signed his name. When asked why he did this, Someone shrugged his shoulders and stated, “My brain is not very good.”
ugh. Not THAT stage….
Every. single. one. of my boys went through this stage…. Smile! = Grimace and bare your teeth. I sure hope Grant gets through it quickly….
