• The Latest Buzz

    We have a Bradford tree in front of our house, and as you can see in the pictures, it's blooming. Well, the other day, the whole damn thing was coated from top to bottom with a superkazillion ravenous bees. That's a lot for someone who is freakishly afraid of bees. That day, the day with the superkazillion bees buzzing around, I had some errands to run. So I go through the whole gamut of getting myself...

  • That Txt Can W8

    Texting while driving. Most of us have done it at least once. Many of us do it all the time. I admit, I am just as guilty as the next person. Yes, I have texted and driven before. Even though I very rarely texted while driving, the fact remains that I have done it. I thought that I had it all under control. But I watched a show on Oprah yesterday with information that totally changed my perspective.  The stories o...

  • Mommy Wars?

    If you have children, I'm sure you've crossed paths with the infamous wild-eyed lunatic mom who condemned you for one decision or another that you made concerning your child and your decisions on parenting. Before I became pregnant, I had never heard of the Mommy Wars. Mommy Wars are "controversial" topics that mommies all over America fight tooth and nail about. The word controversial is in quotes because I still to...

  • For the Love of Crackers

    After refusing to eat crackers for the longest time, Nathan has finally decided that he loves to crackers after all. LOVES THEM. But only because I stood in front of him with my own cracker, saying "YUM YUM! This cracker is SOOO YUMMY!" while pretending like that cracker was the best thing I had ever eaten. It worked. He decided he likes crackers... for now. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipolst8pKvA

Wow, it has been crazy busy the past few days. I just celebrated my 30th birthday!! So we’ve been really busy around here. Plus, we finally got around to getting our Christmas tree down and Christmas decorations put away (I know, I know. We’re so lame, right? But I have this little imp called Nathan who is quite adept at completely consuming all our free time!) I don’t have time for a longer post this evening, but I just wanted to stop in and catch you guys up on what’s been happening the past few days.

… that trying to convince a stubborn toddler that change is good is like trying to convince a puddle not to evaporate.

Yeah, having a stubborn kid can be quite difficult sometimes!

SNOW!

As you guys know by now, we love the snow. We don’t really get that much here in Tennessee, so when the forecast calls for snow, everyone rushes out and buys up all the milk and bread (because you know death is imminent if you don’t.) And then we play in the snow.  And that’s what we did today; we played in the snow. I’ll post some pictures in the next couple days or so.

In the meantime, remember a couple days ago when I took Nathan outside while it was flurrying? Well, here’s some really cute pictures to go along with that video. 

There is white all over the place!

What’s this?It’s everywhere! Even over there!

I must investigate This is good. I like snowAs long as it doesn’t attack me!Which I know it won’t. Therefore, snow is good!

An unlikely snack

Well, Nathan has been “grounded” from crayons for the next few days. (Grounded is in quotes because how can you really ground a 22-month old?) I gave Nathan a sheet of paper and a crayon to color with. I turned my head for three seconds, and when I looked back over, the crayon was gone. Upon closer inspection, I could see that the crayon didn’t actually disappear… remnants of it were left on Nathan’s cheeks and chin. HE HAD EATEN IT. Just popped it in his mouth like it was a cookie and he ATE IT. PAPER AND ALL.

Why? Why would you eat a crayon? I mean, it can’t possibly taste good. Yet for whatever reason, Nathan decided to turn his crayon into a snack. Kids can be crazy sometimes!
