Halloween '09 Recap
Monday, 2 November 2009 9:55 P GMT-08
Halloween was a little different this year, a little more subdued and relaxed, but I think I like it that way! The biggest change this year was the fact that neither of the kids had a big Halloween parade or Songfest to participate in --

Happy Turkey Day, Everyone! We had a great Thanksgiving, perhaps one of the best we have had in a really long time. By some miracle, the kids let us sleep in until 8 AM, so we all woke up feeling refreshed. Then we lounged all morni

Peeps. They are already playing Christmas music 24/7 on KOST 103.5. I almost got into a car accident when I heard it!I was flipping stations and I heard "Last Christmas" by Wham! I couldn't shield my ears in time!
Halloween Recap '08
Friday, 7 November 2008 9:07 P GMT-08
I know what you are thinking. Didn't she already do a Halloween recap? The answer is no -- that was just an obsessively detailed description of the robot costume and preschool songfest. The actual Halloween day and night is a wh
The story behind the robot costume
Sunday, 2 November 2008 5:46 P GMT-08
Back in August I asked Tate what he wanted to be for Halloween. He immediately replied, "A robot!" I waited a week and asked him again. He still wanted to be a robot, so I started looking for costumes online. T
Happy Halloween!

Tate's Christmas Story, age 3
Friday, 18 January 2008 8:53 P GMT-08
Okay, I know it's the middle of January and I'm still writing about Christmas. But this is too cute not to share!A little background first: When we were growing up as kids, every December my mom made my brothers and me write o

Hello hello! I am still around. I realized today why I usually never blog during the month of December -- NO TIME WHATSOEVER! (Thank goodness that blog-a-day challenge wasn't in December. I would've surely failed!)Chri

This weekend we took our annual family photo for the Christmas card. OMG, why do we do this to ourselves every year? It's like it takes 364 days to forget about the pain of such an experience, yet on December 1st we conveniently
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...

It is DECEMBER 1st!! And already the holiday season is in full swing.
you'd think we'd know better by now...
Saturday, 24 November 2007 8:45 P GMT-08
We have been deep in the throes of this craziness we call "decorating our house." Of course this is no easy task when you have

I wouldn't dare step foot in a store today, but I've been online for the last hour doing Christmas shopping with all the amazing deals that are out there right now!! I love shopping from my own desk! : )I swear these ret

I swear I am going to lose this blog-a-day challenge any minute, especially since we are so busy and thrown off with the holiday! Very quickly now...Happy "Ganks"giving, as Tate would say. We just got home from my mom's wher
Official Halloween Recap

Okay, I have a lot of Halloween-related recapping to do, including Tate's Halloween Songfest at preschool and our weekend at Legoland's "Brick-or-Treat" extravaganza. But for now, let me recap the actual Halloween night...Ever
Happy Halloween!

(That's a pumpkin made entirely out of legos, at Legoland, in case you were wondering!)
Sign of a good time...
Wednesday, 31 October 2007 6:45 A GMT-08
Well I'd say Halloween was a big hit with Tate this year. It's 9:30 pm and we cannot get him to go to bed. He keeps jumping out of bed to ask us, "Can I stay up all night for one minute?"
Love Day
Wednesday, 14 February 2007 3:41 P GMT-08
It's Valentine's Day...or night, really. I am alone at home. Jeremy is at school. Tate went to bed early since he skipped his nap today -- he was too busy getting high on sugar at a Valentine's party with

Will I ever blog again? Doubtful, but I must try! If I don't my blog will self-destruct. Plus my brother needs something to read at work (so he says). Where to start? I guess I'll just dive right in.* Christmas w
Christmas Recap

Christmas was a whirlwind, but we had a really nice weekend. Tate couldn't have been more disinterested in opening presents. We had to *force* him to unwrap his gifts. As of today, he still hasn't opened all of them. He was ju

It's been a good week. Tate and I are both healthy for the first time in I don't know how long. Jeremy is done with final exams. Christmas shopping is basically done with the exception of one person. We got Tate's new playroom

Ah, Christmas. 'Tis the season for remembering family and friends....and relative strangers.
We received a Christmas card today, complete with a detailed letter and photo...and we have no idea who this woman is. I sat there, readin
Santa, baby
Tuesday, 13 December 2005 9:02 P GMT-08
Wanna see a really scary picture?
Here I am on Santa's lap, circa 1989 (which would make me, what, 13 years old?). What is perhaps scarier than a 13-year old still sitting on the lap of an old man in a costume, is the fact that I am apparent
Thanksgiving weekend
Sunday, 27 November 2005 9:54 P GMT-08
Our holiday weekend was fantastic! We had a nice, relatively quiet Thanksgiving at my brother's home with just my brother's family and my parents. It was a nice change having a small group this year. The food was great, the adu
