Day 3293

Introducing the idea of birth control to a four year old; watching Banana try to jump as high as a plane.

Day 3292

 When hugs don’t work, try a sneak attack on the imagination.

Day 3291

 Our Banana firmly believes her mommy has no place in the kitchen. She should be in the living room, reading Hairy Maclary books forever.

Day 3290

 Being ordered around by a two year old isn’t so bad when she wants stories and snuggles.

Day 3289

 Gluttony and Sloth. 

Also the birth of the volcano whale.

Day 3288

I hit the perfect naptime trifecta: read book, bake, play Uno.

Day 3287

 DOTS!!

SCOTCH!!

Day 3286

 A somewhat non-traditional way to celebrate an anniversary. But we did get to make oat balls and then squish them. And who can resist delicious squishy oat balls?

Day 3285

 Trust Banana to come up with an elaborate charade to try to get me to take her outside at bedtime. 

Day 3284

 My sweet boy says he wishes he were nocturnal. He doesn’t know it yet, but probably he is a night owl too.

Day 3283

 I could have sworn we had this election already… 

Not sure I approve of the universe granting fo overs if they have the same results.

Day 3282

 My six year old has now done more laser tag than I have. It begins.

Day 3281

 Who could resist our dauntless bouncing happy Banana?

Day 3280

 I’m not compulsive, you’re compulsive.

Day 3279

 Have goldfish bowl, will swim in circles.

Day 3278

 If you’ve enjoyed living in a weird plague bubble, might I recommend getting the exterior of your house painted? Then you can live in a literal weird bubble.

Day 3277

 Was not actually expecting the paint to explode off the house when powerwashed. How do you clean up after a paint blizzard?

Day 3276

 No mouse house with a death garden for us!

Day 3275

 Many adventures are improved by the addition of wagons.

Day 3274

 Hello, house.

Day 3273

No stickers for voting during a pandemic. 

Maybe there’s a t-shirt...

Day 3272

Our boy has a tantrum. 

Banana: “Hold my juice box.”

Day 3271

 Banana, I know you like bopping your brother on the head, but it’s just not allowed. Our house is a no bop zone.

Day 3270

Yorkshire unlocked!

Day 3269

 Didn’t think I would ever see the day that I am counting down until I get to eat spaghetti… darn babies, limiting my spaghetti consumption.

Day 3268

 I need a good muscle detangler. Life is much better when it doesn’t hurt to look at things.

Day 3267

 Return of the To Doooooooom List!

Day 3266

Only sometimes a goblin.

Day 3265

 Google image search is an excellent way of distracting children, as long as you are prepared to never stop showing them pictures of every animal they can think of.

Day 3264

 Being sick was much easier when I didn’t have little people climbing on my back and demanding extravagant things like entertainment and dinner.
