On our mini-vaca this week, we went to Great Wolf Lodge, Williamsburg, VA. We got there on Thursday 2/16 around 5pm. When we checked in, we were kindly upgraded to a theme suite – “wolf kids cabin” which had bunk beds in the kids own little den area, with it’s own TV & video game […]

Sam got up to pee and then got in bed with me waiting for the end of nighttime. Lying in the dark Sam says: S: Mom, I have to tell you something about what we did at Kennedy Krieger. We played with shaving creme and made it all like Candy Land. Mom: wow Sam, that […]

So today was Halloween!  It was a long but fun day.  Thomas & Buzz debuted at Seneca Elementary School: We crashed Ms. Jones’ Pre-K morning party to get pictures: Buzz & mom hit the road to get ready for our Kooky Spooky Halloween: Then we chugged & blasted off to Kennedy Krieger for some practice […]

While I was looking for a card for Terri, Max, sitting in front of the cart, asks, “Who you getting a card for, Dad?” I say Grandma or something so I’m not snitched out later on the phone. Max, says “I want to get a card for my birthday I want this one.” Points to […]

Getting’ ready for night night. Got to get to bed earlier – I think staying up too late last Sat. & Sun. ruined my whole week. Filmed DDC Season 3 Episode 2 yesterday. Updated the dot biz. Feel moderately productive. First full week of school seemed to go well. Sam, told me tonight he didn’t […]

I dropped Sam off for his first day of Pre-K and headed home to play with Max. The first time that I can remember being home alone with Max where he had my undivided attention. Sure enough, in true Max fashion, he wanted to climb the kitchen & jump to me. He climbs up, gets […]

I’m so excited, I’ve read 2 books in the last 2 weeks, “The Help” and “The Hunger Games” thanks to Brian getting me the audio files for my phone. I love to read, but haven’t had much time to read for pleasure in the past 4 years, or haven’t made the time. Now I’m so […]

So we had an extra 1/2 hour before Rebounders tonight, so we stopped for special treat, ice cream. Sam: Can I have blueberry ice cream? Max: I want chocolate! Sam ends up with vanilla on a cone, with rainbow sprinkles as requested. Max goes to work to devour every bite of his chocolate cone. Sam […]
