WHO GOT TO GO RIDING?!?!

Oh for Pete’s sake!  He’s *5*!  no, he did not go riding. 
Sure did love my helmet though. 
My super-friend Paul let me use one of his bikes for the day and took me on all these amazing roads in NH.  Haven’t ridden since I sold my bike 8 years ago (and think I have [...]

So much STUFF

Okay, THANK YOU! to everyone who visited from Kal’s blog and left such happy comments about Oliver’s tutorial.  Oliver really loved them…and they were pretty great for him last week…which brings me to why I’ve been absent.  Where have I been?  Hanging over the toilet.  Yeehaw!  Oliver started throwing up last Sunday.  We are not [...]

Stop and smell the ….buttons?

Okay, so one (of many) of the surprise gifties I’ve been working on FINALLY will make an appearance on the blog.

These were to be some Mother’s Day presents — my mum and I both loved ours even though they weren’t surprises.  Well, hers sort of was a surprise.  We had a great time at Oliver’s school making them [...]

Great sadness…

…certain to drown my heart….

This was last night’s scene as I went out for mom’s night out.  That’s quite a tear.  Nothing compared to his little body blocking the door so I couldn’t go through. 
Tonight it was me with the big crocodile tears when I went to “Get to know your child’s new school” kindergarten [...]

What on earth am I doing writing a blog at 1:15am?  For goodness sakes, GO TO BED!  Okay, but first am posting pictures of my class next week at the Paper Tree or no one will show up.  If you don’t like my grunged out book, worry not.  The class is going to teach the [...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

Okay, been a POOR blogger lately.  But, here I am NOW….and you’re in for some totally random stuff.
First off.  Received a gazillion emails (and even two comments, WOW!) about grilled pizza.  I’m no expert.  Here’s what we do.
1.  Buy pre-made dough at the grocery store because we’re lazy all about easy meals.2.  Pre-cut all veggies and [...]

More weekend….

So, I didn’t get a chance to view pictures of Oliver’s soccer game until tonight.   During the game, he blocked a ball with his face — he got knocked to the ground, but true to Oliver form, jumped up and declared “I’m Otay!”  Like three minutes later I see him running down the field with a [...]

Lots of pics, little text

I have a gazillion things to do tonight.  Got 10 whole hours of sleep on Friday due to some freak accident where I fell asleep watching a movie with Oliver, so gave up *6* whole hours of work time.  Ugh, so far behind!  So this post will be mostly pics and little writing…  Gotta get a [...]
