These Happy Days

The girls recently saw an episode of Max & Ruby where the characters are playing Cinderella.  Although I avoid the whole “princess” theme, my girls absolutely eat it up.  Their other current obsession is money.  A combination of these two interests led to the following dialogue: J: I’m waiting for my prince to come. C: [...]

My kids are starting daycare this week!  While this makes me both nostalgic and a little weepy, I’ll admit to being a little excited for next week – the overlap week where they are in their “school” but mine hasn’t started yet! One of my biggest worries with them starting school is that I will have to [...]

So G, in an effort to move our toothbrushes out of the “danger zone” of our two potty emptying 3-year-olds (another blech and the reason our bathroom has been cleaned 3 times this week), dropped BOTH his and MY toothbrushes IN the potty.  Oh, and the potty had unflushed #1 in it. Needless to say, [...]
