Day 4112

 An object lesson in committing to the bit.

Day 4111

 Not really in favour of -1 at the end of December, but very in favour of winter zoo.

Day 4110

No one expects the beet salad.

Day 4109

 Sorry kiddo, I want to work even less than you want to go to daycare. 

Day 4108

What if some of the adults want bumper lanes too?

Day 4107

 Christmas and a pathological tendency to go overboard are an *interesting* combo…

Day 4106

 If you wrap fast enough, turns out you get to sit around and enjoy Christmas Eve. Who knew?

Day 4105

Can we skip ahead to the point where everyone uses fabric gift sacs and it is an accepted practice that the giver keeps the bag? 

Day 4104

 A day of efficiency really makes loitering children feel painfully slow.

Day 4103

Never underestimate the courage of having a big mouth.

Day 4102

It’s possible I shouldn’t find it quite so entertaining getting the kids to put Husband to bed.

Day 4101

 Goodnight Bees.

Day 4100

 “Mommy I want to tell you about an activity we did today. Oh! It’s for you and daddy, so you can’t listen!”

Day 4099

 We have no pop in our house. We only have fizzy drink. And fizzy drink can only be served in fancy fizzy drink glasses.

Day 4098

 Christmas might actually be coming; the tree is decorated and the big Christmas legos are under construction.

Day 4097

 Someday, our house will be done with toddler tantrums. Whether it happens before the teenage angst spasms begin remains to be seen.

Day 4096

 

ADHD CLEANING RAMPAGE!!!

Day 4095

 I never expected to have to tell my children not to call each other “tushie”.

Day 4094

 Maybe I shouldn’t have played the cannibal song for the four year old songbird…

Day 4093

 The re-enschoolening is not going entirely to plan.

Day 4092

 Turns out, other people *do* still exist.

Day 4091

 Husband is home at last! And I only brewed the coffee without coffee once.

Day 4089

 “Is this a scab call?”

Day 4088

Maybe if you get your kid larger books, maybe they don’t be two thirds of the way through the pile after 24 hours.

Day 4087

Is it even a birthday if there isn’t a battle royale over the relative fanciness of plates?

Day 4086

 I’m not sure we can save every animal and make everyone happy, but I bet we can manage a couple of each.

Day 4085

 Mushrooms and mullets don’t mix.

Day 4084

 Someday I will learn to time my rampages to not overlap with sensitive things like bedtimes.

Day 4083

 They bicker and argue and drive you wild and then they absolutely floor you with their quick minds and sweet hearts.
