Potty, oh potty-
Why is it so hard for Jane
to poo-poo in you?
The potty training saga continues…
Thankfully, though, help from the truly experienced has arrived!
“Toilet Training in Less Than a Day” came in the mail today from a wonderful mother of 5. God bless Christy’s mom.
Curses that I started this training “for real” about 2 days […]

You’re probably wondering what “Cinderella”’s mice and meerkats have to do with each other.
They make Elizabeth laugh so hard that her eyes water and squint closed.
Don’t ask me why.
Actually, I think it has to do with the scampering.
I first noticed it while we were watching the beginning of Cinderella when Jacques (the mouse) distracts Lucifer […]

After much deliberating over the great caption entries, we have finally decided on the winners!
Here are the photos with the winning captions:
Renowned children’s book critic Miss Jane Martin: “I was terribly disappointed with the book Quack, Quack. The main character was not fully developed and there seems to be a large hole in the plot…”
Runner-up […]

…Is the noise that pureed peaches make when they hit a high chair tray after being forcefully sneezed out of the full mouth of a 1-year-old.
Disgusting, but funny.
Funnier yet is the look on the face of said 1-year-old immediately following the sneeze. Somewhere between “sheer delight” and “what just happened?” is the closest description I […]

I haven’t decided on the winner of the “Write the Caption” contest yet, so if you come up with something really funny for a caption, there’s still time.
I’ve added a new photo of me on my “The Catbird” page. It was high time. Hopefully it’s a good likeness; at the very least it accurately shows […]

These two pictures were hilarious to me, but I couldn’t come up with something funny or clever or witty to describe them, so it’s up to YOU!
Write a caption for either (or both) of these photos, via the comment box, and I’ll pick my favorite from among the “entries.”
Winner(s) will receive an unspecified prize of […]

We went to the Florida Mall the other day to scope out stores for a Scavenger Hunt that we’re doing for the High Schoolers in our church. (Can I just say that it’s so fun making a Scavenger Hunt? Almost as fun as actually doing it! Who would’ve thought?)
Anyway, one of the stores in the […]

In keeping with my new resolution to again limit the TV consumption by my girls, I am currently letting them “play together” in their rooms and in our living room.
It’s gone something like this:
Play noises. “Little People” mechanical songs.
“LISTABEF! LISTABEF! NO!”
No response from Elizabeth.
“HEY That’s MINE!”
“NO! LISTABEF DON’T TOUCH!”
No response from Elizabeth.
“LIS-TA-BEF! I’m CALLING YOU!”
Elizabeth […]

Paul had a terrible time sleeping last night, so this morning I decided he should sleep in. So, while he was sleeping, I fed my girls and myself, started a load of laundry and got a shower.
The only tricky part was the shower.
My bathroom (and hence, shower) is attached to my bedroom. If I wanted […]

So Sunday night we had Simply Soul at our church.
In case you’re not a fellow church member/attender, or an IRL friend, or if you live in Australia or Southern California or anywhere other than East Orlando, Simply Soul is a Bible study that the Women’s Ministry Team (of which I’m a part) of UPC has […]
