Belly Burst (April 15, 2010)
My 3yo looked up at me to inquire if I’d help him pull up his pants (bathroom visit). He was so close to me and my belly was right in his face. He said, so innocently, “Mama, you going to have lots and lots of babies in your tummy.” Gee, thanks, G.

No Sound Bites, Just Tears (April 6, 2010)
TE cried because he had to leave. S cried on Sunday because he missed having TE talk to him at bedtime. T cried considerably on Monday night because he missed having TE to play with (they were quite the team). J has mentioned at every meal that he missed TE. It is followed by, Me…

Multiple Sound Bites: Star Wars Free Zone (April 2, 2010)
It didn’t start raining yet. Two neighbor boys (J and J) came over and picked up light sabers. I announced, “Sorry guys, there’s no Star Wars in our yard today.” They acquiesced, but those that live here responded with What? Why not? Huh? Mom-Aunt: Because it’s a Mom Sanity Zone today. Everyone else: Huh? What…

A Picture’s Worth A Thousand Sound Bites (April 1, 2010)
We’ve all awakened chipper and ready to roll from our science museum outing. Well, not sure about T…when we got home last night he was invited to a church function with a friend. Then he was invited to spend the night. So he’s still across the street, awake or asleep, but under someone else’s care.…

My Real Granddad (April 1, 2010)
During lunch today, TE said, “Y’know what? My real granddad is an EX-pert on every kind of animal there is. He knows everything about all kinds of animals.” Okay, I’m cool with that. What kid doesn’t brag about what their dad, granddad, mom, grandmom, or great-aunt-becky-sue can do? Here is why this sound bite is…

Thank you… (August 1, 2010)
“Thank you, Mommy,” said G. “You’re welcome, sweetie,” I replied, “but for what?” His answer was quiet, almost a whisper, but clear and genuine, “Thank you for making the baby come out of your tummy.” And then we walked over to her and kissed her again on the cheek. What a wonderful way to be…

Hi Mom! (August 1, 2010)
While in post partum recovery in the hospital, the boys came up to visit. The question is (and we all know the answer), visit whom? A picture tells a thousand words!

Sound Bites from “The Cousins” (March 30, 2010)
Five boys…four of them brothers, one of them visiting, creating what I am deeming the Annual Conference of the Cousins. Yes, they meet at other times during the year, but with more adults, more food, and more festivities for whatever holiday is being celebrated. There is no way for one (expectant) mom to keep up…

Sound Bites from My Head (March 30, 2010)
Today we went to a clay class directed by Maureen Carlson. She is a great artist, and a gifted teacher. They all loved it! That was followed by a visit to the park. It was in the 70s, but so windy that it was unbearable. Even the kite said, “Heck no!” Here are the musings…

You Provide the Sound Bite (March 31, 2010)
I have transferred the pics from today to the PC, but have yet to convert them for web display. Need sleep to do that efficiently. However, you could still benefit from a fun little ditty about our field trip to the science museum today. And rather than me providing the sound bite, you can comment…

Gearing Up for Adventure (March 24, 2010)
Our nephew is coming. In three days, we will add a male, age 5 to our current inventory of males, ages 3, 6, 8, and 10. Not sure if in utero child is male or female, so we’ll just count him/her as an individual to slow mom down. As we add this child for one…

Basketball Tourney Camera Card (March 13, 2010)
We’re at a basketball tournament. Well, the tourney is over (thank goodness…it wasn’t pretty…’nuff said). I was going to share pictures of our fun mini-vacation, including pictures taken at the Spam Museum yesterday. Unfortunately, the camera card (yes, this blue one, right here…see it?) will not be recognized by my PC. Just doesn’t like it…
