excuses... again...

I owe pictures for the past few days... and hopefully I will get to taking them tomorrow... I'm not doing so well with this picture a day deal... I shall put on the burlap sack-of-shame...

Gotta Catch 'Em All

A's obsession is Pokemon. He has the cards (not that he knows how to play the card game... yet)... He has several different versions of the game (Soul Silver, Diamond, Fire Red, Emerald, Sapphire)... he loves the show, has about 15 plushie friends, and a slew of other Pokemon Paraphernalia... He is, an addict... Game Stop, and Toys'R'Us are both having download events in the coming months in preparation for the newest game coming in March... Carnavine was the first Pokemon he figured out how to makes eggs of... And he has about 70 or so Carnavine eggs waiting to hatch.

back in the saddle again...

So... C is teething.  Hardcore teething... it's been a... delightful tragic experience for the whole household... she has been positively miserable for the past few weeks... today we got the raw baltic amber teething necklace we ordered for her last week, and since noon she's practically been a whole new baby!  (of course as I write this up she's crying) but that aside... she's been a delightful little thing... She's even laughed a few times! Here she is teething on the flower teether on her saucer...

This is Sophie the Giraffe... She is C's most favorite toy... She's rarely without her, and she noms on her like there's no tomorrow... Sophie doesn't mind at all. In fact, I think she secretly gets jealous when C noms on anything else... Mom, Dad and C's own feet included.

Sophie has saved the day (or the car trip, at the very least) many times.. I think the necklace and Sophie will prove to be quite the winning combination...

This picture cues up the song "You've Got A Friend in Me" from Toy Story...

I would have included a picture of A in this getting back on track post... but the boy will not let me take a picture of him... He runs, and he hides! or... because he's a smart little thing, he moves quickly enough as I'm pressing down the shutter to make the shots blurry... He told me so this afternoon... little bugger.

And with that I'm back on track...

11 & 12

I will post pictures 11-13 tomorrow... I hope... Things have pretty crazy... C is teething, and that's been a bowl full of fun, and then A had a snow day today... Having 18+ inches of snow dropped on us overnight made for a day of craziness... but it's mostly C's fault, and my inability to manage my time properly and get the pictures taken and processed... but i'm getting back on the ball tomorrow... I hope.

10/365 Who says you can't play with your food?

Ah... The days of making bentos... I used to make my husband these cute little lunches. but fell out of practice when supplies (and groceries!) started to get too expensive... and now with C, it's just too much work... But with A starting first grade next year perhaps I'll get myself back into it...

A actually had the equivalent of one whole egg tonight.  That's amazing!!  Considering how picky he is about his food, and what he will and will not eat.  I think the food coloring got him excited.  Fun colored foods always make me excited!

It's a lazy Sunday in our house today...

Does anyone know is there a way to comment to comments using blogger?  I would like to comment directly to the comments I've received, and not just a comment to the post...

C was being a fussy pants today... But that's her usual gig ;)

What do you do during play off football?

I go between cheering for whichever team I think my New England Patriots can beat the easiest... and baking... I love baking...

This afternoon I wanted cupcakes.  Really bad.

Behold, light brown sugar cupcakes with salted caramel swiss meringue buttercream... This picture almost didn't get taken... because I wanted to dive right in and eat the thing... it was taunting me.  "Eat me!" is says. 

Ok. :)
