I Don't Need A Nap

Came into the TV room the other day to find this, who had just a half hour before told me "No, Mom, I'm not tired. I don't need a nap!"

First Day of School for the Big M's 2011

We just finished the first week of school here and the M&Ms had a great one. Both of them took right to it, running off to the playground and left me to lock up the bikes in front of school without a single look back. No crying (by Mommy either) and no drama (other than having to do homework again) so far. :)

This One's For Steff

5 years ago, my dear friend Steff knit a summer sweater for Miss M. Hand-made hand-me-downs are the best! Now Miss Em's a cutie-patootie in her Katya sweater!

Big Girl Bath Time

Miss Em had her fist big girl bath in the tub recently and loved it.

What's all this bubbly stuff, Mom? Em spent the first several minutes trying to figure out what she was sitting in...


But then she decided "I like it!"


Big brother and big sister couldn't resist and just had to be in there with her.
