The kids were thrilled to wake up to a beautiful snowy wonderland this morning, and they couldn’t wait to get out and play in it. Elizabeth was perhaps the biggest fan, but Janie LOVED her snow gear and sledding down the front yard. She came in and told me all about it: “Whee!” Pictures to […]
I have a million things on my list of things to do today, so what have the kids decided to do? Why, make a puppet show with one of the big amazon boxes we received last week. Paper bag puppets, hand-drawn scenery, the works. Sigh. More to clean up later, but at least they’re keeping […]

Today Susie came to me with a poopy diaper that I hadn’t put on her–Lizzie had changed her old wet one and put on a fresh one just minutes before. Something’s wrong if your sister 23 months older is perfectly changing your diaper, right? Then tonight Janie pooped on the potty. Something’s wrong if your […]
