Day At The Park





"Not Me"

Not me has come to live with us. You remember him, he is the person who does all the things your child would never do. Not me is a quite a mess. He does things like unroll the toilet paper, spill juice on the floor, and unrolls the paper towels. Not me never hangs up his jacket, leaves his shoes out, and sometimes even spills stuff on Kyle. Not me sometimes moves stuff you are looking for and if he is feeling randy, he will even hide that stuff. Looks like Not me is here to stay for a while...I wonder how long before he knows I have caught on to him?

Where Have We Been?

January and February always seem like slow months to me. Maybe because it is cold and we are either cooped up in the house or trying to run errands just to get out and about (or I am addicted to Facebook and can't seem to find time to blog anymore) . We did succeed in a few good adventures. We took Kyle ice-skating for the first time - we paid for 2 hours and he lasted about 15 minutes - but he had a good time and didn't do too bad. We went to the Maryland Science Center with my brother and his family and the kids (and adults) had a total blast. And it actually snowed a bit and Kyle got to get in some sledding with the big kids on the big hill. We had a successful Super Bowl party with the neighbors and it warmed up a bit and we got some really nice days at the park in.

As I am typing this, I am wearing my new glasses. Apparently "as we age" our eyes have trouble focusing from near to far, and "as we age" the more we need glasses and "as we age"....was my eye doctors favorite phrase. What he really meant to say is "you hit the wall at 35 and now you need glasses"!!!
