Santa!

The Bean told Santa she wanted a pink scooter and a bouncy ball. No tears, a little shy at first and waited pretty well (with a few forays to toy stores) for 1.5 hours. We also ended up in line with some folks we knew and their little baby boy …

Snow?

Anyway, on a humorous note. There is not EVEN a 1/4 inch of snow on the ground and the schools closed. Seriously. It used to take a LOT more than that when I lived here, I swear. And Illinois did have an impact on me in this way , I …

Grucch

Bean= cold Saturday through Monday, still sniffly today but in school. Me= cold Sunday evening through today, very sick (of course with my sinuses of doom) slept about 25 minutes last night. Jam= sniffly but not sick yet and leaving for New Yawk on Wednesday. Foo One wonders: How long …

Growing up fast

I just went to pick up the Bean at school. She was already on a sleeping mat being quiet. I leaned down to see if she wanted to come home or stay there until 3. She said “Go home mommy, I stay with the other kids. Bye bye, I love …

spelling!

Under the heading it is all worth it, file this: Emily just collected all the letters from her fridge phonics set and put them in the correct order, spelling her name. She can also tell you her address, full name and what city and state she lives in. The spelling …

Willy Wonka

Willy Wonka– We finally got to see it last night. Had a pizza party with the three of us and assorted cats. At one point Ninny grabbed a piece of pizza and tried to run off with it. Don’t get in the way that girl and her carbs. I love …

Baking

As I was making lunch, Em got the pot holders, put them down on the floor and sat on them. She then started going ‘ding ding ding.’ I asked her what she was doing and she said “I’m baking”

Limits

Somehow, if you just keep clicking you come up with amazing pictures, which is why I LOVE digital cameras. We had the BEST time at Autumn fest on Saturday I have loads of pictures, but I’m preoccupied now. but there is this: She was just the most amazing Bean. I …
