Another Shameless Plug

I had another playdate today with some moms from cafemom.com and so I have to stress AGAIN how great this site is, ladies :) If you want to find moms in your area they are right there on the site. Sometimes debates happen and arguments can ensue, but if you keep yourself in just playdate groups you can avoid that nonsense very easily. Parenting issues are always very personal to everyone so it's easy for things to get crazy.

The moms I met today were great and their kids were all well-behaved and wonderful. I had an awesome time and I'm really glad we all found each other. Noah will run off and join kids as soon as he sees me talk to their moms. If I shake someone's hand he knows we're there to play and he rushes over and says "hi kids!". He had fun today playing with all older kids. He loves 11yr olds and they seem to love him :)

I know what you mean about the debates.I belong to Babyzone .com.I joined at the beginning of Ava's pregnancy for the Due Date Club & that switched over to the Nov-Dec.2005 Birthday club.I actually know a lot of the women on there pretty well now & have quite a few as friends on my space even!But I try not to get into debates...as much as I love getting into them with non friends!!I usually go there for advice and other peoples opinions.I know I will like Cafe moms.com.I am afraid to join & then not be able to follow through with play dates.Maybe when Ava's gymnastics is over it will be easier.I'm glad Noah has so much fun,and you too!!

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Image
Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
