spins a web, any size

"Do we have any yarn?" asked Emma innocently enough.
"Sure, some pink, I think in the craft box," I reply.
And this is how they spent their day off from school.

I dare you to look at all of these pictures and NOT yawn yourself. I couldn't stop.

a neater eater


J started pitching a fit when presented with his pieces o' hot dog. He kept gesturing to the plate and fork from which they were being distributed. I eventually pieced together that he wanted the fork. So I gave him a J friendly plastic Tiggerfork and, wow! He was as happy and proud as can be. He very dexterously ate the whole meal with a utensil. Where'd that little baby go?

...and yes he's eating hot dogs and a Rice Krispy Treat....stop judging me!

do you know the muffin man?


I just had to share.

This is what happens when you make steaks one night and decide to make blueberry muffins the next morning and you forget to change the oven setting from "BROIL" to "BAKE."

Muffins, charred to a crisp on top and batter spewing volcano-like from within in the first five minutes. We had Eggo waffles for breakfast.
