Being a mom

You know, one of the things I love best about being a mom of little kids is that you get to overhear pieces of conversations like this,

(Kylie speaking) "No Caleb...you are a boy...you won't ever turn into a girl like me and Darcy...sorry buddy."

I just hate that I missed what followed his, "When I'm a girl..." statement that caused Kylie to answer such.
(What?  With two sisters I've been hearing a lot of that lately.  It's normal.  Right?)

Currently my three are snuggled into the pompasan chair watching the Super Flying Squirrel episode of Diego (except for when the flying squirrel song comes on when Darcy jumps out to dance),


I'm working on getting a crock of split pea soup going for dinner (not because we are short on food, only because I forgot to take a meal out of the freezer last night), and Ian is headed to his doctor's Saturday clinic (his symptoms have progressed into the same ones I had last week).  Other than the part about Ian being sick, life is good.  It is very, very good!

Mt. Laundry was overcome yesterday (for one day anyway), so naptime today should be "blog productive" ~ so much to say.  Doctor's visits, adjusting, the end of our time in China...

Oh, and does anyone know where spell check went?  My posting page changed while I was in China, I can't figure out how to spell check anymore, and I've never been good at spelling...

LOVE that photo! The photos of ALL three of your kids are just melting my heart! Enjoy your soup! Hope Ian feels better soon.

What is that like, conquering Mt. Laundry?

I've been having trouble posting comments on anyone's blog lately, so I'll be shocked if this goes through. I'll email you, okay?

WHAT?! It worked? I'm sure it has something to do with my stupid computer. Oh, I loathe it right now. Oh, well. At least, I'm back in business for the moment. And I do mean "moment".

I always loved that chair...now look it has your 3 loves in it! Cute picture.

Can't wait for the blog productivity at nap time.

Hope Ian gets some good drugs and feels better soon.
