While I’m waiting for the time, energy and photos to blog about Halloween, I thought I’d share yet more photos.
Here are the 3 S’s
Sisters
Stubbornness
(Elizabeth trying unsuccessfully to remove her sippy cup from the side pocket of the diaper bag)
Sweet
(sweet Daddy’s devotion to a cold, wet and tired little baby girl.)
I should’ve titled this post […]

I’ve added a new photo of the girls to “The Girls” page.
It seems that the only time I can get them both side-by-side is when they are harnessed in the double stroller.
I think the picture is hilarious.
Here are a few thoughts:
Elizabeth looks like she’s about to get in a street fight. (I can just hear […]

Though I can totally take credit for the costume idea, I have to say that Paul took it to The Next Level with the white feather eyebrows.
We may be short on resources here in the Martin household, but we make up for it in creativity.

to Halloween.
With a 3-year-old and an 18-month old.
I can’t wait.
In the meantime, here’s my big girl semi-posing at the pumpkin patch.
Isn’t she just too cute?

I just made 50 (and iced 27 of them…I ran out of frosting! *!@#$!) cupcakes tonight for Jane’s birthday party tomorrow.
It’s 10:45pm here. I started at 7:40pm.
I am so done with cupcakes.
I had this genius idea that since Jane is having a Bicycle Birthday Party (in honor of her receiving her first big-girl bike!), I […]

As some of you may know, my Dad arrived today just after lunch.
Obviously, he was here when Elizabeth woke up from her nap. He continued to be here when Jane woke up from her nap.
He was here when I loaded the girls into the car to go to the park.
Wait.
Make that “when […]

…what non-dairy coffee creamer is made of?
Water, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, corn syrup solids, sodium caseinate (a milk derivative*), dipotassium phosphate, sugar, mono and diglycerides, sodium steroyl lactylate, soy lecithin, artificial colors {what the heck, it’s WHITE!}, and artificial flavors.
*not a source of lactose.
Mmmm. (heavy sarcasm.)
Dairy-free. The way to be!
Not.

It seems that we may have watched “Monsters, Inc.” one time too many these days.
Consider this dialogue, which takes place in the Monster’s locker room. Mike is preparing to take the lovely Celia out on a date:
Mike: (smelling armpit) Whew. Hey, can I
borrow your odorant?
Sully: “Yeah. I got uh…smelly garbage or old dumpster.”
Mike: “You got […]

Last night I got the Final Jeopardy question right…though none of the actual contestants did.
The category was “Religious History.” MFA (Amy) and I just groaned.
During the commercial break, we blurted out possible questions to the upcoming answer.
“Pope John Paul the …uh…well…”
“Martin Luther!”
“John Calvin!”
“Calvin Klein!” Amy replied, to which I said, “Wait, that’s not RELIGIOUS history! […]

If you’ve seen Disney’s “Cinderella” lately (as I have), or if you have a great memory of it from your childhood (or your children’s childhood), or if you just have an amazing memory, in general, you will most likely have connected the picture to the left and the title of this post.
If none of those […]
