Not sure how time passed this quickly, but it did. M9 is now M10. We’re going to Chicago soon to celebrate. Happy Birthday, my sweet girl!

All I Want for Christmas is…
This poor gal has had the misfortune to have lost a total of three teeth in the last month. If you’ll recall, this hasn’t been one of the easiest months of the Dunham household, so the tooth fairy, shall we say, has been a bit on the MIA side of things.
The only saving grace we [...]

Skee-Ball Queens of 2008
I had coupons for Incredible Pizza today. Believe me, you can’t go there without coupons, but with them it’s a lot of fun. The girls were less than half-price to get in (and I paid for it with a bona-fide Christmas bonus gift card I got this year!). We got $25 in [...]

December 9
The girls decided to decorate their rooms yesterday:
I especially love the hand-drawn snowmen attached to the metal shelves with magnetix pieces:

After the Christmas Concert (aka: “Holiday Program”) of the St. Louis Children’s Choir: three singers and one tag-along. But a cute tag-along, don’t you think?

The Child Who Wouldn’t Smile
You all remember this photo, right?
And this one?
Seems like the-girl-who-wouldn’t-smile has found her photo niche: dressed up as Eeyore. Ironic or just plain cute?

Happy Sugar Rush Day
We jump-started the annual attempt to fill our kids to the brim with as much sugar and sticky goo as humanly possible by going to the Magic House, where they generously offered an all-you-can-handle donut and chocolate milk buffet.
My kids are doing better about recognizing their need to stop when they’ve consumed so much sweetness [...]

Sleeping Beauty
5 Minutes for Mom is hosting a contest to win your own sleeping beauties a new bedroom set. To enter you need to post a photo of your wee one sleeping. I took this a while ago (as in, when she was still a baby), but I still love it. And if anyone needs a [...]

Birthday List
This particular half pint will be turning 5 in less than two weeks. I found some things I think she will enjoy for her birthday and made a list on Amazon for her. Imagine my surprise then when asking her yesterday if she knew what she wanted for her birthday. Her answers were quick and [...]

It’s Here
I know, I did this last year. I’m just so excited, that’s all. I mean, the kids are so excited. I mean, we’re all so glad for a 15-hour break 15 hours of good teaching and care.
You know what I mean.

Odes for this Mother’s Day
I awoke to the gift of poetry from my 9 year old. I thought I would share:
Ode to Mom
My mom is sweet
She makes bread with wheat.
She drives a red van
Mom is also a baseball fan.
Mom home schools us
But, she doesn’t ride a school bus.
She sometimes takes us shopping
We are wild, like a rabbit hopping.
Mom is [...]

I Know What I’m Getting For Mother’s Day
The girls and I went to the mall today to take advantage of Ben and Jerry’s free cone day. It was a nice break after a long morning of punching through their school work. While we were walking around the mall with our dripping cones, I introduced the concept of “window shopping” to them. M9 [...]

Ah, Saturday
We had K6’s party last night and boy, am I glad it’s Saturday now. Really, though, it was fun and there are only a few things I would have done differently had I known then what I know now. Hindsight 20/20 and all that.
The main thing I would have done? I would have left waivers [...]
