• Last sales pitch…

    Tuesday update: OK, this will be the last post dedicated to this, I promise! Or no one will check my blog ever again. Just a couple things: someone reminded me to tell you that these do not have to go directly on walls. They also work well on frames, wood MDF boards, etc. In fact, […]

  • Personality?

    I think yes. And some to spare. Thanks to the Sweet Pumpkins for the Costco cart picture idea. And your Carsonism for the day: Today we were driving around town and saw a couple walking on the sidewalk. Carson: Are those humans our neighbors?

  • Pride cometh before a dirty tissue

    We’ve all had a touch of a cold lately. I’ve been pretty proud of Carson for getting his own tissue…sometimes I remind him, but the independence of getting it himself has been nice.

  • Oh, I see. It’s one of THOSE days.

    Warning! Controversial parenting practices to follow. Read at your own risk and judge not lest you be judged. 😉 So, remember the other day when I hesitantly wrote that we’re in a pretty peaceful time with Mr. Carson? Well, today I TAKE IT BACK! Someone slipped him a naughty pill when I wasn’t looking, because […]

  • Camera happy

    My poor children are never safe from camera-crazy Mommy. This morning I decided to take pictures of Sydney in her highchair before she had eaten. She is such a content baby, but sometimes a tough crowd for a mommy who is trying to make her smile right after she woke up! Here she is displaying […]

  • Kissy kissy!

    Do you guys have that screensaver thing that rotates through one of your pictures files? I have mine set to rotate through my ENTIRE picture folder, which is several hundred pics. This one flashed up the other day and I had completely forgotten about it. It was the summer of ’07, and Carson and I […]
