Where, oh, where have my readers all gone?
Oh where, oh where can they be?
The latest report from my stat keeper:

Christmas Gift Poem
We’ve really pared down Christmas — we’ve had to over the past couple of years — and I have been pretty adamant about -one- gift from Mom and Dad per child, and about insisting relatives please only get them one gift each as well. I might as well be talking to a wall when […]
Say What?!
My friend Tammy over at What Was I Thinking? had a funny post about her favorite Thanksgiving. She tells about what can only be describe as a surreal ER visit — one doctor tells her friend that she’s not skinny enough to have ulcerative colitis and maybe it’s just her period. If that […]
I Hate Jurassic Park
. . .the movie, that is. I enjoy Michael Crichton’s writing, but I just cannot stand the movies. Unfortunately, any of the three happen to be on Squid’s list of Movies He Must Watch Any Time The Clicker Flicks Past Them (which also includes The Hunt for Red October, any Bond movie, any Star Trek […]
The Soundtrack of My Life
As told by Windows Media Player (yeah, not cool enough for an iPod)
Found at Life with 4 Kids and a Dog
Here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press […]Still playing with the new video button
Here’s one Squid made a while back, just pictures of the kids to a really touching song. We need more recent pictures in it, but these are from before I blogged, so you can see how cute they’ve always been (was there any doubt?)
Let’s say thanks
As Thanksgiving approaches (you Canucks already had yours, right?), I think a lot of us think about those who won’t be able to make it home again for the holiday. I have mixed feelings about the war, but my feelings are crystal clear about the soldiers — they are brave men doing a hard […]
Trying out a new toy
Andrea got a video button installed, so now you can see all the So-Called cuteness right here!
Here’s more vocal percussion:
(having trouble with the upload on YouTube. I’ll imbed this one when it’s there. Sorry!)
And his musical side (the lyrics are “Every-everything’s alright, o-way-o, o-way-o”, I think):
What do […]New look - - again!
Yeah, I got bored and started messing around. I like the clean lines of this theme, but I’m not sure if the cutesy white flowers are really me. We’ll see.
UPDATE: Yeah, not so much. I switched to another theme called “Water”, and I really like all the customization available on this one. I […]So THAT’S what happened!
Remember when I was complaining about my washing machine not spinning out? Three different people from church called with ideas about what it could be and how to fix it. And the winner is . . . Steve, my husband’s buddy from breadbox (also the name of his blog). He […]
Mommy-Pink Pixie Day
Pink Pixie has been suffering from Middle Child Syndrome lately — too much attention for older sister and younger brother, not enough for PP. I was mentioning this to my friend whose son I babysit and she said “Maybe you should spend some one-on-one time with her.” Duh! I would have given this advice to […]
More Monkey Cuteness
This boy! He certainly has talent, even if I do say so myself. I am actually considering getting him a trap set for Christmas. Not something any normal mom would do - - but he is CONSTANT rhythm. Whether it’s vocal percussion, seen here, or banging out a rhythm with […]
Late, Late, Late Halloween!
Yeah, I’m behind, what’s new?
I didn’t get actual Halloween pictures — of course my batteries were dying in the camera and I couldn’t find the charger! But our church has an Autumn Fest celebration the Friday before Halloween and this year all three kids wore the exact same costumes for both events. I […]Sound of Music, here we come!
I can’t get the rich text editor to stop stripping out my code (and can’t remember how to disable it), so please click here to see the most adorable Do-Re-Mi you’ve ever seen or heard!
I’ve been graced . . .
. . . by the long comment gods. This one has made its way around the web and now I’ve been honored. I feel so special!
