Too Many Contests!

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

There are almost 700 contests at Shannon’s Bloggy Giveaways tonight.  I can’t stop.  So many of them are for darling handmade items (the crocheted bonbons?  the polymer clay pendants?  the family tree print or the family name tile?).  I just can’t stop.  Forgive my bloggy silence, and head over there yourself to win some good [...]

Game Night: Shadows Over Camelot and Colosseum

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Yesterday we had a lovely Sunday afternoon visit at Leigh’s house – Aunt R came too – to watch the kids run wild, and to play a few games with the grown-ups. It was so lovely, in fact, that when we got home at 10:15 pm (after arriving at Leigh’s at about 2:45 pm), [...]

Random Art & Hair Cut

Friday, January 25th, 2008

We had a nice day today. BabyGirl slept straight through last night from 9:30 until 7:15, so we were all better rested. But I wasn’t prepared when JediBoy demanded an Art Project immediately after breakfast! So I sent him to wash up, and I plopped our empty plastic grape basket down on [...]

Do Nothing

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

BabyGirl had us awake from about 2-3 am last night.  She was crying and hard to console – we’re wondering if maybe her molars are finally starting to move in.  She and JediBoy slept well after that but I was restless, so today has been a Do Nothing day.   We’ve watched some videos and made [...]

Blog For Choice

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Today is the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and all around the blogosphere, folks are taking a moment to write about the importance of a woman’s right to choose.
You can read what Doc had to say, or Elishevah, or Toni, just a few of the bloggers who turned up with this button on my [...]

Book Basket – Africa

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

It occurred to me that although I’ve been changing the books in my Book Basket (my librarything widget in the sidebar), by not posting about it, I’m not creating any permanent record for myself of what books we were perusing when. So I’m going to try to post about the book basket more often, [...]

Play Date & Sachets

Monday, January 21st, 2008

To my loyal following, who today LOUDLY proclaimed I hadn’t blogged in a LONG TIME (3 days, since Thursday): here I am!
I was still not feeling very well on Friday, so we played it low-key and stayed home, read most of A House At Pooh Corner to celebrate A.A. Milne’s birthday, but didn’t make our [...]

Bird Treats

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

I woke up with a terrible headache in the wee hours of the morning – one of the behind-your eye, into-your-temple, along-your-jaw, down-your-neck and across-your-shoulder ones that feels debilitating. Lucky for me, we had an activity planned at a local nature center this morning, so JediBoy had lots of fun with minimal involvement from [...]
