P365 Day 300 – October 27th 2008

Another sunny day means another day at the Oregon Zoo. I never quite realized how cute baby elephants can be. This one kept trying to find his footing on a sloped piece of concrete. A couple of times it looked like he would slip over and was, in many ways, just like any other baby. [...]

P365 Day 299 – October 26th 2008

Samuel now sleeps in his own crib. At least he does from about 7:30pm until 9:30pm. Then he wakes up to eat before going back to sleep in his crib until about midnight. After that time he wakes pretty much every hour. Instead of dragging myself out of bed each time, I give in and [...]

At least I’m not alone…

Thomas: I want to go to the ack pack
Mummy: What was that?
T: I want to see the pack pack?
M: The back pack?
T: No, the pack (unintelligable)
M: Sorry sweetie – what are you trying to say?
T: The pack….I don’t know what I am saying.

P365 Day 298 – October 25th 2008

OK I get it – autumn is beautiful blah blah blah. I am grudgingly enjoying the colours outside my window and the unexpected gift of October sunshine. Just waiting for the bubble to burst and the rain to start. How pathetic is that?

Suffering from scrapstashitis

OK, that sounds worse than I thought it would.
Sales in digi land have been killing me. I have been buying and buying but not scrapping a whole lot.
On a side note: have to watch how I use that phrase. A couple of days ago I said no to Thomas and he turned to me [...]

P365 Day 297 – October 24th 2008

 
 
  
I could spend hours watching Samuel watch other things. It never ceases to amaze me that just a month or two ago he was waving his arms around aimlessly. Now he’s reaching for things and pulling his binky out of his mouth (and sometimes getting it back in). Toys are suddenly very interesting too – [...]

P365 Day 296 – October 23rd 2008

More books. Thomas and I spend a lot of time at Barnes and Noble. Not because I love buying books – in fact we usually don’t buy anything. We go to Barnes and Noble because OUR LIBRARY DOES NOT OPEN UNTIL NOON ON WEDNESDAYS. It makes me angry. Noon does not work for us. Noon [...]

P365 Day 295 – October 22nd 2008

This may well be one of my favourite parts of the entire renovation – right up there with the shower screen, walk in closet and outlets every 5 feet. As we were framing out the new addition, it became apparent that Thomas would have a funky little cutout in his bedroom behind the door. Converted [...]

P365 Day 294 – October 21st 2008

I have been giving the boys a bath together most nights to save time and water. It involves a little bit of juggling and quite a lot of balance to hold Samuel correctly in the water while trying to prevent Thomas from splashing him. It also means I could do with a few more arms [...]

P365 Day 293 – October 20th 2008

In case I haven’t mentioned it – WE’VE FINALLY MOVED UPSTAIRS. Well enough to be a little more comfortable anyway. Thomas loves his brand new yellow room and we love that it contains nothing but a bed, books and clothes – no toys to distract him at bedtime.
The downside? A dresser that has suddenly become [...]
