We finally got around to picking our pumpkins on Columbus Day. That’s pretty much been our routine for years and one mommy looks forward to. As you can see, someone was not a fan of the smell. As a real working dairy farm, it definitely has that country smell…one that mommy knows and loves. The …
Last weekend, we headed to an Amish store to pick out a shed. While daddy talked with the salesman, mommy and Z headed to their playground (which, of course, they were also selling) Someone was in paradise. Who could blame him, really. Wooden pirate boats and fire trucks with slides..a magical kingdom of all things …
So this week, daddy started the little guy on a running regimine. Knowing the little guy’s great distaste for anything running, I was a little skeptical. You may recall soccer and the numerous Gatorade time outs (during warm ups). And then there was the beginning, when we first realized that he ran like Phoebe But …
The little guy has been (impatiently) waiting for his Halloween costume to arrive. There was much debate as to what to be..but he finally settled on Boba Fett. Or as the little guy likes to say, he’s a bad guy. But if you are like mommy and have no clue who Boba Fett is–here’s his …
Lately, Zachary has been on a tear with artistic productions. Z originals if you will. What mommy loves about it is that he draws things that he thinks you will like. For me, that usually revolves around the sun, flowers and rainbows. See today’s pictutet drawn before school. The boy nailed it, especially on …
Last weekend, we headed over to our local pumpkin market. I’ve been holding on to summer…but let’s be honest the times are a changing. So off we went and it was packed. Zachary is in the process of deciding on a costume: Star Wars related, ninja, fireman, or Dracula. The boy clearly is puzzled as …
So we are a little over a month into school. And so far the boy is loving it. I love watching his knowledge growth. One of my favorite times is driving to karate and hearing him school me on different subject matter. Give the boy a soap box and watch out! This week, we got …
Like any family, we have our moments. I just happened to capture this gem when he got mad losing to daddy at water polo. Let’s just say someone is not a fan of losing, especially to daddy. This promptly led to a time out and a talk about what went wrong. And we had our …
Last weekend, daddy ran the Philly Rock n Roll Half Marathon. As usual, he did very well, top 4% overall. The little guy was super excited. So when daddy got home, he presented him with a hand drawn gift. On the surface it appeared to be super sweet. I mean the sun is shining in …
Ever wonder how one little gift turns into a quest to own a massive pile of Legos. And why was I not more aware of this growing obsession. I need more, more, more, said the mad king. Legos, Legos, Legos, you are everywhere and are quickly becoming mommy’s number one enemy. Bins full of them, …
