Whoops, I’m still racing around trying to get a post a day 🙂 not doing to hot here! Sam had some of the weirdest ailments. Her latest one is her back hurting. This happened with her neck too. She must have tweaked it and she just moans and moans about it, I feel so bad […]

It finally happened! She is almost 7 and she lost her first tooth. She bit into an apple and it got loose and fell out at night. It was perfect because we were camping with Girl Scouts and it was just very exciting for her. Luckily I found it in her sleeping bag/blanket the next […]

“Who is our President again?” “Remember? You know who it is.” “Oh yea. Obama.” “Yep.” “He’s a boy.” “He is a boy. But the President could be a girl too.” “No! It’s a boy. It has to be a boy.” “No, honey, the President can be a woman. Hillary Clinton was almost going to run […]

We switch off bedtimes. I read a story to GG at night and sing him a song. He’s very demanding at night. After I sing a song (usually the same one EVERY night – Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree), he has to lay on me and we cuddle. My favorite time. Then he has […]

Sam came into my office to tell me something ‘very sad’. She got a ‘Play of the Day’ certificate!! She is such a trickster (she tries to be), I wonder who she got that from? (Anyone who knows my husband is groaning right now.) The only one to get the certificate out of her group […]
