New Look...

What do you think of the blog's new look for summer? A little brighter! Less black! Thought it might be a nice change!?

More Fun At the Playground...

As of yesterday I can finally claim that I took BOTH of the kids to the playground- by myself. It's not an easy task. DS has absolutely no fear. He will climb anything and everything- whether or not there is someone nearby to save him. And DD... she only wants to swing. She could swing for hours. So, it usually works better to have two adults- one for each. However, with school out for the summer, and too many free hours in the day for them to drive me insane at home... I needed to see if it would be possible for me to do it alone. And it was a piece of cake. At least this time.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention...

Help! DS will not keep his hand out of his pants! Now, I know this is a normal "phase"... although if most of the men I know are any indication, it's not a "phase" that he will ever outgrow. And if that's not bad enough... he now feels it necessary to pull his diaper down and expose his "boy-parts". Not exactly appropriate for school and therapy.
So, the geek and I figured we would just dress him in one-piece pajamas for a while until he got over it. That worked for a few weeks. Except now he knows how to unzip them, so it's started again.
What to do? Well, for now we are blocking the zipper with a safety pin. It's working... but does anyone have any other suggestions? We can't really dress him in pajamas all summer!

It Was A Rough Weekend...

I came home from running a few errands on Memorial Day, and the geek greeted me at the door telling me to follow him. This is what I saw when I entered the hallway...



Yes, he is sleeping like that! The geek swears that not even two minutes before this, DS was running through the house like a crazy man. I guess the weekend caught up with him!

Whoo-hoo!

All Went Well...

Everything went well with DD's tubes this morning. There were lots of tears and a bit of screaming, but in the end, it was probably more traumatic for me than it was for her. Here are a few pics I took with my phone... enjoy!

So Excited...

The official "New Moon" poster was released today! It was supposed to be released in major newspapers across the country... if anyone comes across a copy, save it for me. I need to run out and take a look at the Register to see if there's one in there.
November 20th can't come soon enough!
