At the Fair

What is it about the fair that makes me completely lose my mind? Okay, far too exhausted to write much.  Fortunately, there are PICTURES! umm…’kay.  What order did I put ’em up in, again? Ah, yes.  I began with the Alpaca of EVIL!!!  Beware, free people of the world, he and his evil minions three […]

Goofy

Hope wanted to watch TV beyond the “freebies.”  Normally I let her earn extra TV time, so when she asked, I told her, “Do something!” She came to me and poked me in the shoulder.  “There,” she said with a grin.  “I did something.” What an awesome kid. She’s reading The Lion, the Witch, and

New Year’s Eve

Sure I could have found a babysitter and gone out and partied the night away.  But then I wouldn’t have gotten to scare Hope with a headless chicken… It was hysterical.  I  had a whole (well, you know) chicken.  I didn’t have a clue what to do with it.  I IMed a friend, and she

Pink and Purple

Hope got a bike for her birthday!  A beautiful pink and purple bike, delivered the day after so that lucky little munchkin enjoyed a three-day celebration. And enjoy she did.  She hasn’t got it down yet–yes, aunt and uncle, she did over-state her prowess–but we’re working on it.  Mom lives in fear.  I remember my

Belated Birthday

The birthday blog is late, the celebration wasn’t.  So.  Hope had a blast at Chuck E Cheese, and the best ice cream ever after.  Saturday we went to karate where everyone wished her a happy birthday, and she basked in the glow.  Then we went to visit friends, where she was plied with Kentucky Fried
