The Supply Closet

Impressive, right?

Time Flies

All of the sudden, my little baby now has his two front teeth, crawls everywhere, pulls up on everything, and can summit our stair case in about 2 seconds flat.  I swear it was just yesterday that he was born...

And all is right in the world...

Sometimes all you need to turn a day around is a 3 hour tandem nap (which never happens, but it did today!), a glass of wine with lunch, and an impromptu afternoon play date with the BFFs.

Mommy Juice

You know, most days I love being a stay at home mom.  Sure, it has its challenges, ups and downs and what have yous.  But mostly, the kids and I have a great time and I love doing this. 

Today is not one of those days.  We have had no fewer than 25 meltdowns over things such as:  wanting to put a set of AA batteries that she found in her mouth, wanting to eat a quarter that she found, wanting her 36th marshmallow of the day (half kidding), and wanting to push and shove her little brother around the room.  Two of my skylights are leaking, I am covered in snot and oatmeal, and I swear if I hear "I want mallow" one more time I'm going to check myself into a loony bin!

Let's just say, it's 11:35 and I'm saying a prayer to the baby monitor that its little light stays in the green for at least the next two hours.  Oh, and I am already having a glass of wine. 

Happy, Happy

In my quest for an awesome Andy Bday picture, I found this. I couldn't bring myself to cut Brado out, so Brado you're getting a little Andy birthday love too!

Happy 32nd Birthday to the sweetest, most wonderful, goofball of a husband and dad.  Your crew loves you more than words. May you be as happy every day, as you were in the photo above.  We're sailing!
