Remember a couple weeks ago when we had a snow day and I somehow managed to misplace the pictures? Well, last week we had not one but TWO snow days around here as we had our own version of the Snowpocalypse. And I even remembered to take photos this time. And not delete them! [...] Answer: pretty kick-ass! We worked on the castle cake Friday night to make sure it was finished. (We meaning that I did the work, while Emily applauded and Jonathan offered suggestions and broke some of the ice cream cone turrets.) This is the fondant Princess who lives in the castle. The look [...] Today you are three years old. You have the face and body of a real kid. Except for the tiny bit of delicious thunder thigh you still have going on. You are officially no longer a baby, although you’ve insisted on being called a “big girl” for months now… [...] I know it’s out of hand. But man, is this birthday stuff fun! I spent last evening cutting out a princess and crowns for a game of pin the crown on the princess (of course!) and panicking that I didn’t buy any prizes for the game. Oh well. In the meantime, here are the [...] Next Saturday is Abbalina Ballerina’s Royal Birthday Tea Party. A small contingent of young princesses of the realm will be descending upon the house in an effort to help Abby celebrate 3 whole years on this planet. Which, really? Really, really? Three years old?? No way. But I digress. Because I am INSANE, I [...] [Actual discussion in the car on the way to school.] Mama, let’s play Bolt. You be Bolt and I’ll be Dr. Calico.

[...] I heard a THUNK at 6 a.m. sharp. This was after having had a coughing, hacking, nebulizer-needing Abby come into our room at 3:30 and keep me up until 4 and my heroic husband up until 5. It was my turn. I opened the door to her room. She was fully dressed. There was [...] Yes, this is the obligatory snowy day post. It snowed. In fact, it’s still snowing. One of my friends says the radar looks like a winter hurricane. Whoopie. Abby’s school was canceled before she got in the car last night. Brian emailed to say he’d be working from home before we went to bed. [...] All day long I hear “Mommy, I can DO it!!!!” at top volume. Usually while watching Abby struggle with something (her clothes, a doll stroller, a jar of oregano) that she actually can’t do by herself. But woe is me if I even try to help a kid out. There’s a lot of screaming [...] I have a pretty self-destructive pattern I’ve followed my whole life. Basically, I work and work and work until I am physically incapable of working anymore. Then I collapse in a pile of sickness. Sometimes that sickness is a migraine. Sometimes it’s a hacking cough. Sometimes I just literally can’t get out of bed [...]  |
