A Trio of Spring Pictures

April 14, 2010

Just a few snapshots I took of my chill’en today. Carson refuses to sit still for a single picture so I am afraid that I’ve joined the ranks of those moms who will never have a good picture of their kids together again for a long time. I mean, honestly, look at the stink-eye I’m getting in that second picture because how DARE I make him sit next to the flowers with his sister?

A funny about Mallory’s ring: she told me that I have a sparkly ring and she has a sparkly ring but that my …

Two for Tuesday

April 13, 2010

A few video gems for you.
This first one – please ignore her FABULOUS ladylike table manners and pay attention to how she tells you that sometimes “knifes” aren’t “shark”. She says SHARK for SHARP. Isn’t that so funny and adorably awesome?

* * *
This one is just funny to hear her tell me how to carefully remove her band aid and then she pulls it off herself. And her diagnosis for what happened to her knee: “well, I SCRAPED my knee from when I was PLAYING out-SIDE!”

Carson’s New Trick

April 9, 2010

I almost titled this post “Carsie’s new trick”, because Mallory & I call him “Carsie” a lot (or should it be Carsy? anyway…). I don’t know that Rick is excited about the nickname but oh well. Mallory calls Carson “Cars” sometimes (with a soft S so it doesn’t sound like carz, but rather carce – does that make sense?) which cracks me up. Not sure why I changed the title of the post from Carsie to Carson but here we go.
ANYWAY – what’s his name learned a new trick today. He was in the playroom playing (good boy! doing …

A pregnant pepperoni

April 9, 2010

Who knew that pepperonis could have “big tummies”?
Well, Mallory declared it so tonight during dinner, because apparently the rounded pepperoni looks like a big tummy.

Rock on!

April 5, 2010

Mallory started rock climbing class last week with her friend Cafrine & Cafrine’s brother. It’s an hour long and the moms were concerned about it being an hour long…but the kids all LOVE it.
Shocker of all shockers, I didn’t have my camera with me last week, and an even bigger shocker – I didn’t bring it this week either. But at least this week I didn’t bring Carson so I could watch more of the class and I was able to shoot some video and some pictures with my phone.
Last week I asked Mallory if she wore a belt and …

Soooo behind

April 4, 2010

You are getting a bulleted post today because I can’t formulate real writing right now. Must be my age.

Carson is almost totally weaned. I am amazed that I made it a year. He’s nursing once or twice a day now and this morning was the first time in a month or so that he came to our bed early in the morning to nurse. It was very sweet. And then this afternoon he was getting fussy and I turned around to see him crawling towards me, dragging my nursing cape behind him. Yeah, that was really great for the mom …
