i’ve been sitting here trying to catch up on my blog reading, when really i should be in bed getting some much needed shut-eye. priorities, people!
the thing is, it’s easier to read my favourite blogs when all is quiet and there are no little guys interrupting me ever 2 seconds…”mommy? mom? mum? mummy? MOMMY?”…ya, you [...]

welcome to the monkey house at night
okay…so this is the first time i’m posting a video…hubby and i are kinda sticklers for privacy, so we’ve decided to password protect our videos. so instead of embedding the video, i will give you the link and the password.
nighttime in the monkey house is pretty crazy. the boys get this crazy burst of energy, [...]

now that’s customer service!
hubby and i went through the drive-thru at McRaunchy’s the other day to get a quick bite to eat (despite the fact that i’m halfway through reading Fast Food Nation…i disgust myself!)
Drive-Thru Lady: [with froggy voice that made you imagine she was a chain smoker] Can I take your order?
hubby: Yes, can I have [...]

one of those days
yesterday was one of those days…you know those days…the days where everything seems to go wrong, especially the little things…
like when it seems that your children must hate each other with a passion the way they are pushing and shoving and kicking and punching and screaming at each other….
like thinking today is the day that [...]

the best birthday gift money can’t buy
i thought the loot i got for hubby was pretty stellar this year…little did i know i would be out-done by my 2.5 year old just hours after the gift-giving.
the boys were bathed and pajama’d…as usual we put Logan in bed first, but not before getting goodnight kisses from momy, daddy and big brother. then [...]

what dat noise?
Zander’s latest ism is to ask “what dat noise?” everytime he hears the tiniest of sounds….when the dishwasher comes on….when Logan coughs….when the floor creaks….when the tires of our car drive through water….when my joints make those nasty cracking sounds….everytime there is a sound of any kind, he asks this same question. over and over.
