This week is shaping up to be as crazy as last week. I’m over 100 people short so far of our average volunteer pool with one week left for submissions (our school has about 300 students and usually around 150 parent volunteers). While getting that many in the last week will absolutely swamp me, I […]
Not much posting going on this week, as you can see. This has been the last full week before school starts and I’ve been so busy. Not just prepping the kids with shopping, getting in doctor and dentist appointments and going through the closet and getting rid of everything too small, etc, but with my volunteer […]
I picked up a few sets of plush food sets at Ikea and have them in a basket for tot school this week, but I find there are a couple in the vegetable set that I really don’t know what they are supposed to be. I suppose my best guess on the lower one is cucumber. { Although I […]
Busy, busy week so far. Feels like I am constantly rushing from one thing to another. I guess I feel it more too because DH isn’t really here to help at all this week. His boss is visiting from Chicago and its been at least 3 years since they were able to get together face […]
I have to say, I really don’t understand the people that head out to crazy packed venues like children’s museums, amusement parks, and the zoo late in the day. When we go to those places - like today, taking advantage of our Oregon Zoo membership – we go as soon as they are open, or as close […]
If you have ever commented here, you might have noticed that it requires approval before posting (although once approved, you can then post automatically without waiting for approval in the future). That works well to keep spam out of comments, but does require me to manually dispprove/delete all the spam posts that come in, and […]
 Mostly quiet day at home for us. Kidlet and I went to the farmers market this morning, but didn’t pick up much aside from some the local strawberries from the same vendor as last week. Both weeks they were a little bit beat up, but oh so sweet and juicy. His favorite bakery vendor (with […]
There are times when feeding the kidlet can be a trial. I get quite tired of hearing “I don’t like that” at dinner time (usually referring to some kind of non-processed, non-ground meat). On the other hand, when I asked him what he would like for lunch today he asked “Well, do we have any […]
Seriously, where does the time go? Just a minute ago I had this itty bitty baby and a sweet little preschooler, and the next thing you know, one is a toddler with 12 teeth and a ravenous appetite, and the other will officially be a grade schooler come fall. A grade schooler! I barely had […]
I can’t beleive that Kidlet’s kindergarten year is over. Things were a little teary all day!
