Starting the day off right...


This is Colin the other night at dinner.  (Sorry it's blurry.) The twins like to pretend they are sleeping at the dinner table, usually while they are eating.  (I've mentioned before my kids are weird.)

Colin had been wearing his cousin's blue fairy slippers (don't ask), so he took them off and put them on the table, and pretend to sleep.  If he wasn't grinning, it would be hard to tell he was faking it.

I'm playing along with Leigh today.

Speaking of Colin, he has developed an obsession with his pajama shirt.  If he wakes up in it, it is hell trying to get it off.  This made for some crabby mornings at 6 a.m. when I was trying to get the kids dressed for school. 

Did you know that my children only want Mommy to get them dressed? Change their diapers? Put their shoes on? Put their coats on?  While Daddy gets to stand around and do, well, nothing.

Anyway, I started putting Colin's shirt that he would wear to school on him the night before.  Voila! He is happy in the morning.  Well until I try to put his shoes on...

That's so cute. My cousin's son likes to play sleep statues, where you yawn, then freeze in a sleeping pose!

cute! We used to have problems with pajamas during the day...my daughter would wake up and want to wear her pajama top all day...which was fine with me until she hit school...so then I had to adopt a different way of thinking...I would have he take her bath at night, and then before bed would have her put on the shirt she wanted to wear the next day....we did have a few instances where the pajama top made it to school...but overall it worked out really good!

Cute! My girls are the same way about always wanting Mommy to help. One day I actually said something along the lines of "Daddy is right there. Ask him to help!"

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite ...

I'm not a perfect mom, I just play one on my blog

I read a blog recently that talked about food.  The mom was very careful to say she buys farm-fresh food, only organic fruits and veggies, blah blah blah.  Then she added how she fed her child a hot dog.  But she couldn't just say hot dog.  She had to specify it was nitrate free, turkey based, something or other. But why? Who cares? Is she so afraid of being judged for giving her child a real hot dog that she must waste precious words of her post making it damn clear that it was a super-healthy hot dog? Let me stand up and be the first to say I feed my kids real hot dogs.  Well all-beef ones, but still.  I didn't cloth diaper, not because I don't care about the environment, but because I'm lazy, and it's gross to me.  However, I am planning on buying some cloth pull-ups because it's cheaper......... I didn't exclusively breast-feed, and my kids turned out fine. My kids have ketchup almost every night at dinner. My kids eat McDonalds. ...

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?
