Scout

easy way out…

My MacBook power cord shorted out and began smoking today. So alas I have not been as online as usual. So to keep up with my NaBloPoMo I am posting a picture. You’ll survive. I have every intention of being at the Apple store first thing in the morning so I can remedy this situation!

Finally…the Halloween pics

I know there will be a LOT of political discussions today….so take a break from it all and enjoy these pictures of my beautiful girls!

clean sheets

I love having clean sheets on my bed. There is nothing better than crawling into a nice cozy warm bed on a chilly night and being surrounded by clean sheets….um and my sweet husband. Apparently Scout felt the need for clean sheets on her bed or maybe it was The Powers That Be…but someone or [...]

Teeth (yes … more than one tooth)

Miss P sported her first tooth last Friday (10/24). Two days ago (10/31) she got another. She hasn’t really enjoyed the process. I haven’t really enjoyed the process. I will say that she is handling it better than her sister who marathoned all of her teeth. Scout got her first tooth at 5 months and [...]

Halloween 08: The year of The Butterfly and The Snail

This year for Halloween Scout wanted to be a butterfly (or a sheep?) but NOT a “scary monster.” Penelope didn’t get to choose…I felt the call of the snail for her. I couldn’t find a snail costume in her size so I enlisted my fabulous costumer, Alison, to make one. I showed her Scout’s butterfly [...]

I love this picture!

not a fan…

Scout saw the picture of Penelope as a zombie and was concerned that Penelope had “boo boos” and did “not feel good.” I stand by the entertainment value of turning your infant into a zombie…but I will suggest that it is not shared with your toddler. I don’t think Scout will be scared for life [...]

Maybe I have a small clue…afterall

We changed Scout’s bedtime. She has been going to bed no later than 730 (last night she asked to go to bed at 6:45). She is taking good naps (when I said they were restless…i meant that she is kind of wild in her sleep but she does sleep) and even though she is still [...]

Sweet dreams…

In an effort to make Scout less evil we have decided to change her bedtime. Normally she would go to bed at 8pm (CST). She would get up around 8am and take a 2 hour afternoon nap. Well lately she has been going to bed on time but sleeping until 9 or 10 and her [...]

moving on up?

Scout goes to preschool two days a week. Yesterday the director (who is a friend of mine) told me that she wanted to move Scout up to the next class starting next week. Normally I would have been fine with it since several of Scout’s “friends” are already in that class and Scout is currently [...]
