We have a lot of kid dishes around here. Small bowls, sippy cups, and tiny silverware abound in our kitchen. It can really take over, so what I decided to do was dedicate separate cupboards just for the kids' stuff.... Read more →

I'm getting sick of tutus. Sort of. And then again, I'm not. They're fun to make, and they're just so pretty. Each time I make a new one, when it's finished, I have to admire it for a minute or... Read more →

Here's a bandwagon I don't think I'll be jumping on anytime soon: the Twilight series of books. I just don't have it in me to read about a vampire love triangle. Just tell me when it's over. One I am... Read more →

The frenzy continues... Today I'm making more Infant-sized tutus, since I only had two on hand. Granted the show is more than a month away, but I don't want to be stuck at the last minute wishing I'd already made... Read more →

Again with the tutus and hairclips tonight. Well, I've only made one pair of clips and might quit; I'm suddenly feeling verah sleepy. First came this rainbow one. I really like it, but Rob doesn't. What do you think? He's... Read more →

*yawn* It's 10 AM. I'm exhausted. Why? Because I was up 'til 0400 on my monthly charity crochet-a-thon thingy online. I haven't won any prizes yet but I'm back at it this morning. Here's hoping! So yesterday, the big kids... Read more →

What a wretched day, weatherly speaking. It was raining. Nay, it was pouring. That old man sure was snoring! Stephanie was one of the first casualties of the day, unfortunately. It's her 25th birthday, but she wrecked her car and... Read more →

Ugh. I'm so unproductive lately, but this was the worst. I was nauseated and in the bathroom all day long, with an upset tummy, and barely moved. Sadly, we didn't even get to go to dance class today. I just... Read more →

Sophia was a major snuggle bug yesterday, so after she woke up and ate breakfast, we bedded down together under my fabu blanket and alternated between chatting, napping, and watching some Noggin. When Jack came home, he joined us! It... Read more →

Quickly, quickly, because it's the middle of the night, I woke up, and now I'm getting tired again: Nothing doing during the day, just hanging out. Took Chloë to tap and the Littles hung out in the back seats while... Read more →

I'm feeling rather terse, so I'm going to let the pictures tell the story today. In a nutshell, Rob took Jack to the air show today while I drove the girls to a playdate at Chloë's friend Claire's house. Camera... Read more →

Today we were supposed to go to the NICU reunion. However, like last year, I decided at close to the last minute that I really don't need to see the latest crop of newborn twins to get my grief fix... Read more →

Okaaaaay, let's try this again. I forgot to blog last night. I tried tonight, and Typepad was down. Finally got in, and it shut down on me mid-blahg. Stupid site... Thursday During the day, we mostly hung around, did Starfall,... Read more →

It's been a day and a half. I went back to sleep on the couch, after getting the big kids off to school, until I heard Sophia wake up (duh). Then instead of bringing her down, I brought her breakfast... Read more →

Today was an exciting one here at Chez Odette! Why? Because... We.... have.... a.... BUTTERFLY! I took pictures of the bugs in their chrysalises (chrysali?) and of the new Painted Lady butterfly, but they didn't really turn out. We didn't... Read more →

I really like the git 'er done style of the bullets posts, but I suppose I can't get away with that for long, can I? It was our now-usual Monday today, for the most part. The Littles and I played... Read more →

Once again, because I want to get right back to my scrapping (I'm well into April now and have all the pictures printed out through the end of May!), here are some bullets about our day: Rob finished his motorcycle... Read more →

It wasn't a very productive day, but I did get a few things done: Laundry. What else is new? Two more loads, or maybe three, and now it's done. Until tomorrow. Finished what I can do with the Brownies scrapbook,... Read more →
