Will write for yarn.
Hug your children extra hard today, and be very, very glad that you can.
This sweet girl, daughter of blogger Heather Spohr, passed away yesterday. The March of Dimes works towards healthy births and healthy babies. Help them win the fight by making a donation in Maddie’s name.

In the morning, the boys and I usually have snuggles, which sounds like “tuggles” when Ethan says it. I was already up on this particular morning, so they had to settle for each other.
This child, the one in the picture holding the weeds flowers that are the totality of my lawn, just asked me why there are lines on the Italian pottery bowl he is eating his pizza from. They are meant to make the bowl look rustic, I suppose, or something like that.
I told him that the [...]
Here is the run down of my day:
1. Bread. In the bath tub. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. Witness:
2. See cell phone. See glass of milk. See mom scream. See that it’s too late. I am sure gonna miss my milky, qwerty keyboard phone. This I have no photos of. It’s just too painful.
3. Forward [...]
Tonight at bed time, these are the questions I answered:

It’s fine, really, since the Boggle frame [...]
Conversation I had with four year old E. upon his receipt of an invitation to a (girl) classmate’s birthday party:
E: Why did she invite me?
Me: Because you’re her friend.
E: No I’m not. Well, I kind of am. But when Adam and Jack want me, I’m kinda not. But when she wants me…
I go to her.
Overheard at bedtime tonight:
E: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells,
It’s not much fun to ride and walk a sleigh tonight
HEY!!!!!!!!
Me: hahahahhaaaahahahhahahah
E: Why are you laughing?
Me: Because you are soooooooo cute.
E: Oh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells…
