Baby Smash

April 27, 2012Maddie0
Chuck found a game that Maddie can’t get enough of! It’s called Baby Smash. Basically, the kids play with a keyboard and the program says letter names and shapes and colors depending on what button the press. Seriously, it’s like toddler crack! Maddie just can’t get enough. We downloaded it on an old laptop for...

Friends!

Yesterday Maddie and I went to the Mall of America with our friends Trisha and Chelsea!

Trisha took this picture of the...

Porch Furniture

April 23, 2012Glendalough1
We finally found some porch furniture that we liked. A couple weekends ago, Chuck took multiple trip to the store to pick the pieces up and then put them all together. I couldn’t be happier with how it looks! We got a loveseat, two chairs, a chaise lounge, end table and eating table. I got...

Lumia

Chuck got me an early Mother’s Day gift. I have been eying the new Nokia Lumia 900 phone. It’s the new Windows Phone. I thought it was adorable (plus, I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for new shiny things ). When I learned that this Windows Phone had visual voicemail, I wanted needed it! That is...

Daughter

April 19, 2012Maddie0
In one of the videos yesterday, Maddie was dancing to “Daughter” by Loudon Wainwright III. I guess it was in the soundtrack for the movie Knocked Up. Huh. Guess I don’t pay very close attention. Chuck had me listen to the lyrics. What a sweet song. If you have a little girl, you will appreciate...

April 18, 2012Maddie0
First, I am sure there are a few of you out there who are saddened by my laziness and lack of posts about Maddie. Well, cheer up! Here are some videos! So the other night, Maddie insisted on wearing a fleece jacket around the house. I thought I would just take her pants off so...

10 Years

April 17, 2012Randomness0
The other day, Chuck figured (after looking through emails) that we had known each other for 10 years. He got me the funniest card I have ever seen and a second card that was so very sweet! He also brought these beautiful flowers for me. Then for a while now, he has told me he...

A Communicating Toddler

April 4, 2012Maddie0
Maddie has started to communicate with us a lot more. She knows a few animal noises, says a few words and even signs a couple words. I got a few videos of her doing some things on command! The only things I forgot were asking her to give me a hug and a kiss. Which...

Toilet Paper Roll

Fun With Noodles

March 29, 2012Food, Maddie0
During lunch yesterday, Maddie was having some of my rigatoni noodles. I would cut them into smaller rings for her to eat and she kept putting them on her finger to eat. It was really cute. Maddie also learned her own version of signing “more” yesterday, too. So she would finish the noodles then “more,...

Another Zoo Trip

March 28, 2012Maddie0
I took Maddie to the zoo another day (actually, I have been going about once a week with her) and I took a few more pictures of some animals that were very active during this visit. There were some very friendly birds! And some very playful swimming bears! A pacing leopard. It must have been...

My Year With Eleanor

About to turn twenty-nine, she’d spent her career writing about celebrities’ lives and had forgotten how to live her own. Unemployed and full...

Tonight Chuck, Dannie and I played another game fr Tonight Chuck, Dannie and I played another game from Chuck’s childhood. Pay Day. This gem was his grandparents’ game and it was so fun. Dannie was so excited to play a new game. She LOVES games. And yet again she learned the wrong lesson and gambled and bet everything and won constantly. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 But at least she had fun!
Last week we went to the zoo again and saw the Far Last week we went to the zoo again and saw the Farm Babies. There was an energetic cow, Molly, who was just over a week old. We saw her the week before when she was only a day old! The goats and chicks were the kids favorite. I loved the pigs and the baby llama. But the star of the trip was the huge inflatable flowers all over.

Covid has made experiences a bit different, but I’m so thankful that these experiences are now able to be happening again!
Before the kids went back to school, we took a tri Before the kids went back to school, we took a trip to the zoo. We hadn’t been there in so very long. (Covid + moving.) The weather was lovely, we did lots of walking and saw ALL the animals. It was a wonderful visit!

I’m learning some new stuff to help out when someone goes on maternity leave. And it’s just been so glorious to see people. And go to an office. And work more. And it’s just so exciting! 🤗

I’m expecting to get even more read in April after my kids go back to school and I can just listen to audiobooks during the day while I’m getting things done. 🤗

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
