Growing like weeds

QGColl2010APB

I recently put this collage together to send to some relatives back east. Since I like NEVER update my Flickr account, I thought I'd post this here as well. So you can see that my boys are not babies anymore, but crazy cute little men! :D Quentin recently got his haircut, so it's a lot shorter. Gavin is a whole different story... he hasn't had a haircut in MONTHS. Due to his sensory issues, Gav has developed an acute fear of hair cuts. … [Read more...]

Happy Beerday to Me

Happy Beerday to Me

Yesterday was my birthday and just like every day of my life, it was not completely devoid of drama. Drama which involved my tantruming kid(s) in Michael's Craft Store and a stubborn husband who refused to scrap the mission, thus torturing every person in the store.

Progress in the Potty Department!

SO many things wrong with that sentence... First off, "Mother"? Really? You're 3 years old. (Ok, soon to be 4 but whatever). And you're calling me "Mother"? What happened to "Momma" or "Mommy"? Secondly... "Jacked up"? You seriously just said that? Lastly... you're … [Read more...]

Gavin creates a mural… on his bedroom wall!

Gavin's Art

So Mom had some crayons tucked far away… hidden from little hands… or so she thought! But then one afternoon, after nap time… Mom went in to check on Gavin, who was so quiet, she was SURE he was sleeping like an angel... YEAH RIGHT... Turns out, Gavin got a hold of those well hidden crayons and secretly and very quietly colored a masterpiece on his bedroom wall. Turns out, Gavin is a resourceful little thing. Those crayons were tucked … [Read more...]
