Cupcakes and Commentary

Since I am a bit behind on my posting (to put it mildly!)…I am using this as a Happy New Year/Happy Anniversary! Since I am still recovering from a slight relapse of a sinus infection, it’s going to be short! Just a little trip down memory lane. Happy 5 Year Anniversary to my husband! This [...]

I hit the jackpot with A’s stocking stuffers this year. Most of them I got on sale (some for more than fifty percent off). The two best places I found items was a Toys R Us store closing and a Barnes and Noble after Thanksgiving sale. I was able to get a few of the [...]

You’ll have to excuse the grainy-ness of these photos, but perhaps if I get the new Adobe Photoshop for Christmas per my request, it will eliminate that.

I am lucky enough to get two stockings a year (one from “santa” at my house and one from “santa” at my parents’ house). I have to be really careful these days because I keep forgetting that stocking stuffer items come from Santa. A has vulcan hearing (Star Trek/Big Bang Theory reference, anyone?) when it [...]

Today we began making Christmas cookies. As I was taking pictures of A making the cookies I flashed back to him making cookies when he was barely one, in a little dishtowel apron with only a stripe of hair and a little green dinosaur shirt. Flash forward to today: My baby is now a three [...]

A had his first school Christmas party this past week. He had such a good time! They did a few songs although surprisingly A was less interested in singing and more interested in dancing and enthusiastically performing the hand gestures. He got to have a little snack of cupcakes and showed me the Christmas present [...]

Continuing our two year tradition, we and my sister’s family went to see Santa’s Village and of course Santa. The boys had a great time and A was so excited to try and do everything at the village. What a difference a year makes! Looking at the lights. Playing in the candy cane forest. A [...]

**Attention** If you are a Grandparent/Great-Grandparent of A, stop reading…unless you want to be spoiled on an item coming to a Christmas present near you! Who needs emoticons when your child provides you with unlimited “winky faces”? This year has been tougher to get A to do crafts then last year. I suppose it’s an [...]

A visited Granna at her school for a little bit the other day, so I could go to work! He brought me home a picture that he then told me that it was his homework, that he did at school. I hope he works as diligently and is as excited about homework in the future [...]

Ten weeks to go…here’s a little status update: Baby Name: We are still in limbo on the baby name. We have narrowed it down, but are not sharing until it’s finalized….which could be in February. A’s Opinion on the Baby Name: Pasta. He wants to name him Pasta. A’s Opinion on Baby Items: A told [...]
