(Okay, so I’m not on vacation–yet. And I was telling this story to my co-workers, at least 1 of whom reads my blog, thank you, and she said this story was definitely blog worthy. So here it is!) We were talking about Montana at the dinner table. I was trying to get the kids excited [Read More]
Bad Mom vs. a 3-year-old
“Mom,” said Sydney. “Where are my apple slices?” I had been doing a million things and had told her to hold on. “Remember, I told you to hold on.” “Where are they?” “Sydney, I told you to hold on.” “You’re a bad mom,” she said, matter-of-factly. Oh, great. Just what I needed to hear. “Well, [Read More]
$10 Well Spent
A while back I shared that Will and Sydney had been invited to be the ring bearer and flower girl in a wedding. Well, the wedding was this weekend and it went great! Surprisingly, the kids hung out up front during the whole ceremony. I thought for sure they would have taken me up on [Read More]
Girls who Rock the World, Part II
I realize I haven’t shared any Sydney stories lately. That’s because I spend all my time being a bad mom to Will, but not Sydney. I’m kidding! A couple weeks ago we had some really windy Spring days. Sydney was sitting at her picnic table playing as the wind swirled around her. She looked to [Read More]
Car Wash
The kids were outside playing together. It was a minor miracle. The game they decided to play was “let’s-put-water-in-the-trash-can”, which I discovered after they made numerous trips past the window with cups of water in their hands and evil little glints in their eyes. I suggested that instead of putting water in the trash can, [Read More]
An Apology to the Princesses
We’re back from Disney and we had a great time. The highest of highs and lowest of lows, as all parents of small children who traipse through amusement parks can relate. I do feel I owe an apology to the Disney Princesses. Once upon a time, before I had a daughter, the princesses annoyed me. [Read More]
Sanitation Engineer?
Sydney has really taken to checking the cat’s litter box every day. “Oooo,” she squealed this morning. “He’s poopy!” She holds the plastic bag while I scoop the poop and pee chunks out of the litter box. After about 4 clumps were in the bag this morning, she shouted, “Look! It’s a party!” How could [Read More]
Poor second child
That’s it. I really suck at motherhood. I lost the Post-it from Sydney’s 3 year checkup with all her vital information on it. You know, her height and weight and what percentile she is. Her baby book needs this stuff, folks! I thought about leaving her baby book blank for the 3 year slot. Just [Read More]
Sydney and the Giant Toot
Last week I had the pleasure of being a single mom while Chad was on a business trip. One of the highlights was taking Will to his Scout Pack meeting and dragging Sydney along. She was pretty good. I brought some toys she could play with and sometimes the first thru fourth grade boys did [Read More]
Pee pee in the potty
You’ve heard the TV called the Boob Tube. I’m thinking of renaming it the Uro-Tube. Here’s why: Sydney has recently potty trained (WOO HOO!). We were eating dinner the other night and she had already been excused. We heard her go into her room and then we heard the scraping sound as she moved her [Read More]
