Aidanism

Whilst driving to town... (whilst is a word, isn't it?)

Aidan: Mom? Do farmers wear ant-el-ers?
Me: (Opening my mouth to respond)
Aidan: Noooo.... bucks wear ant-el-ers!

She can't yet write her name...

Alternately titled: Other things I feel inadequate about...
Alternately titled: Remember that post about "Mom pressure"?

It's one of those days... I just feel inadequate in my magical Mommy abilities. I don't feed my kids enough fruits and vegetables...and they get too much sugar. They watch more TV in the winter months. Does Olivia go to the right preschool? Why don't I sit and write with her more so she was proficient in writing her name? What can I do differently to help them grow to be smart, successful, and happy?

Why am I on the computer and not playing with them?

Is it really all up to me? (And, of course, by me, I mean us...my hubby counts in all this too, it's just one of those days feeling crummy about me...)

I'll feel better soon... just needed to vent my feelings today. Maybe it also has to do with January in Minnesota, the sickness of snow, and the lack of sunshine...

As told by Olivia

The Christmas Story:

For God so loved the world, he gave his only son. On the 4th of July God gave Jesus to go into our hearts and give us lots of presents.


Well, sort of.... :)

Santa 2010

Our first ever visit to Santa was successful! No tears! Olivia even smiled for the pictures and told Santa what she wanted for Christmas. Aidan was not so sure though... :)

One Year Ago...



I had a little baby. Where did he go?
