JediBoy is taking an unexpected afternoon nap. He decided to come into the bedroom with me while I listened and talked back to one of my learn-Spanish cds. He burrowed under the covers and played and wriggled under there until he just fell asleep.
I’m taking a bit of my free time to write about our [...]
Since when is 9 o’clock dreadfully late? I’m just tired and sore all over today, for no real reason.
JediBoy is upstairs with PisecoDad, having his bedtime stories. They’ve been reading from the Star Wars New Essential Guide to Characters at bedtime, so every morning I’m treated to facts like, “Hey, Mom, did you know that [...]
Nothing makes me happier than getting an email from our adoption agency, especially when it includes PICTURES! When we got back from the park today there was an email waiting for me with eight photos of our darling baby girl, including two with her foster mom. She looks so big to me now – she’s [...]
The sun. A long, dry driveway. Sidewalk chalk and a whistle. A spider and a small brown slug. A tripod magnifier.
Did I mention the sun? Ah, the power of the sun.
No spiders or slugs were harmed in the making of this blog.
JediBoy loves his Leapster. For Christmas, he got a few new games, including Animal Genius. He tried it a few times but decided it was too hard. (Remember when he made a New Year’s Resolution to “Play hard Leapster games”?)
Last week, when we spent big blocks of time at the hospital meeting HonoraryCousin, JediBoy brought [...]
I’ve mentioned several times before that JediBoy and I tend to find ourselves centering around one room each day. Today it’s all about the kitchen. After a long breakfast with the newspaper – he asked about the big fire in Nevada (it was a brothel building, but I didn’t bother to explain that to him) and [...]
Last night, after a visit to HonoraryCousin, we decided we were too tired and too hungry to come home and cook dinner, so we stopped at the sub shop at the foot of our hill. JediBoy happily ate his soup and bag of Cheetos while he tried the sticker sudoku puzzles that were his “toy.” [...]
I always had Legos. My parents believed they were one of the best toys available, and though they seemed expensive they were actually much cheaper if you calculated the price per hour played… Every holiday, there were Legos.
Naturally, JediBoy loves Legos too. He has all of my old Legos and loves his new sets as [...]
Our wonderful swap box arrived today! JediBoy was thrilled to see it and dove right into it. There were all kinds of treasures inside including two great magazines for me, some homemade soap, a homemade game, many toys and a book. JediBoy’s immediate favorite was the dinosaurs, but he quickly segued into the play money [...]
JediBoy wanted to go out to lunch today, and wanted to meet Calvin and his mom there.
What an adventure. The two boys, JediBoy (4) and Calvin (6), both profess to love this particular restaurant, but they love it on their (loud, messy, violent) terms! They both have a lot to say and feel the same [...]
