We stayed in Vermont all day today because there was just Too. Much. Snow. to try to go home. Here’s what I did instead of ever leaving the house: Played a marathon game of Loaded Questions Retold and heard stories of the courtship of the various family couples With my sister, gave every girl aged … [Read more…]

We’re gearing up for J’s birthday party tomorrow afternoon. Now, we’ve never invited the entire class to a party, and we’re almost always just at home. Where we go overboard is with the cake and the crafts. This year, J said that she wanted a fairy party and the first thing out of M’s mouth … [Read more…]
Yikes! I keep having to update with items I’d squirreled any in my email and forgotten–sorry! Did anybody else catch that super-gorgeous rainbow today at about, um, 5:45 pm? We so completely deserved that rainbow, didn’t we?  I mean, seriously, we made it through a lot of rain. I was over-volunteering at elementary school today, … [Read more…]
I know that the regularly scheduled events page is still a mess, but I promise that I’ve been working on it. I’ve got a lingering cold and I took a massive 2+ hour nap today (thank you honey) and I’m still sleepy. Pathetic. Here’s what’s going on this week: Monday, October 4th: Shannon Hayes will … [Read more…]
It’s J’s birthday! She turns 6 on October 1st. Our schedules are so busy that the kid party isn’t until next weekend, but we’ll be up bright and early with her Special Birthday Breakfast (pancakes, sausage, strawberries) and some present opening. I actually put all of the presents up high, high, high because we re-use … [Read more…]
The offerings are a little bit paltry this week, I must admit. The kick-off-the-school-year events have already happened, and it’s not quite time for spooky-Halloween-stuff or appreciate-the-fall-leaves. So it’s quiet. Halfway through working on the week’s events, I decided that I really just have to clean house and work on the What About TODAY? listing. … [Read more…]
Phew, you guys, I’m tired! I have a cold which seems to be resisting even my beloved Theraflu, it was Back-to-School Night for the big girl, it’s our last night without Daddy, and I just realized that my Netflix chick flick is foreign-with-subtitles. Which means I can’t multitask.  I’m just going to stop looking for … [Read more…]
It’s actually pretty quiet this week. Part of it is that I need to parse through the various schedules and reconfirm what is unique and what’s a regularly scheduled event for the What About TODAY? page. I also tried to update my Playground List and ran into technical difficulties yesterday. Not to mention that I … [Read more…]
I don’t know about the rest of you, but my kids are exhausted and more than ready for the weekend. They spent the day sneaking over to our next-door neighbor’s house, where there was a yard sale. You’ve heard already that the girls love a yard sale.  They were both outside in the rain at … [Read more…]
