I asked Pi to get the baby dressed, and rather than choosing, you know, clothes, this is what she came up with:
“Oh please! Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my beautiful tie dyed bandana plus a little sass to boot.”
Not to be outdone, here is Ood a couple weeks ago

My children’s creative use of toys gives me a glimpse into the inner workings of their young minds.
Mr. Potato Head has hairy armpits.

Tood is asleep now, but in a few minutes I’m going to wake him again to spoon some water into his lips and perhaps feed him a bite of yogurt. Just before I got up this morning he had to race to the bathroom for what would be the first of fourteen quadrillion hard purges. [...]

Wait, Haiku Friday!
The clock says it’s a bit late.
Procrastinator

receding slowly
mountains of snow grow porous
revealing treasures

Why did no one tell
that this was available
instead of strained peas?
(I know, I know, I just posted a foody baby face. It’s refreshing to see a theme begin to emerge from this blog, no?)

Eleven months is really not very long.
Just enough time to blink, really, to exhale. A moment, a pause, a flicker. It is barely time to even notice.
But eleven months is enough time to walk. Yes, walk! And it’s enough time to unload every dish towel from the drawer, to learn to say “Daddy” and [...]

Okay, I’ve had my little blog break. NaBloPoMo was naturally followed by NoBloPoMo. I was meaning to blog over the holidays (har) so just think of this as my way of prolonging the holiday spirit.
We had a joyous and rambunctious Christmas. That is, after we got the Christmas card photo shoot over with. My patient [...]

Swear words are strictly taboo in this family. Yes, I am a prude. But Isp is a kid who likes to push his limits. From the back seat of the car I heard him taunt, “I’m going to swear. Hhh…. eeeeh…”
“If you say a swear word, I will wash your mouth out with a soapy [...]

As the holidays approach, I think we all get in the mood for some festive recipes. Luckily, Chef Ood has been in the kitchen whipping up something totally new and exciting.
No, it is not that cold in our house. Remember Ood is also a fashion expert; everybody will be wearing fleece hats indoors next season. [...]

Here’s a photo of Pi from five years ago, shortly after we moved here.
Pi submerged herself in the bog that was our yard before we had grass. I still am not sure what kind of mother allows this sort of behavior, or worse, what sort of mother has no regrets when looking at this photo.

I asked Isp what he wanted for his birthday dinner. He started to automatically quip, “Pizz–” but stopped short and revised hiself, “Yams! We never, never have yams. Why don’t we ever have yams?”
“Are you saying you want yams for your birthday dinner?”
His face brightened. “Yes!” He ran off giggling.
Who am I to argue with [...]

Guess what?
Somebody has learned to crawl. What does this mean?
I need to find my vacuum
we need gather ten zillion lego pieces and put them away
I need to find my mop
and broom
bottom drawers in the kitchen may contain only plastic containers
there is no privacy in the shower
outlet covers (I hate those! They are baby [...]
