Long Overdue Update

Damn.  It's hard getting a blog post done.  I'm just lucky that Katie is extra tired and decided to take a nap and that she didn't wake up Mikey before getting there.

So, here's a long overdue update on what is going on over here on the Left Coast.

Thanksgiving was a while back.  

I managed to get the smallest Organic Free-Range Hippy Bird I could find - 9 lbs.   Huzbend brined and cooked it and of course, just like every other meal that he makes, it was delicious.  Here is the proud Chef.



Here's the family enjoying dinner.  As you can see, clothes are optional at our Thanksgiving dinner.

Katie and I were responsible for preparing the 'sweet' parts of our dinner - 'Candy Yams' and Pumpkin Pie.  I must say that we did an excellent job on both.  Katie LOVED the 'Candy Yams' - she practically ate the whole of it herself.  Most of it as leftovers - COLD.  Mmmmmm.  The way it SHOULD be.  Sigh.  She is my daughter after all.


Let's see, what else?  Oh.  Our truck got broken into.....TWICE.  Yeah.  The first time was in the parking lot of a restaurant.  Smashed my passenger window and got my IPOD.  The second time was in our garage.  I accidentally left the garage door open and they snuck in, opened the truck door and took our cell phone charger, an extra garage door opener, some change and, damn it all, my ZUNE. Bastards.  What suckage.

After seeing Disney on Ice, Katie has been pretending to skate around the house.  So, we decided to take her ice skating for real.  At first, she was really scared.  She didn't even make it a minute out on the ice with me.  She sat down and I hesitantly made my way around the ice.  After that, she wanted to try again.  Here we are trying really hard not to fall down.


We hit our annual city tree lighting once again.  This time we actually made it in to see Santa! Katie changed her request to a blue Cinderella dress.  No more pink car, I guess.  Oh well.  The princess brain assimilation is now complete.  We are Princess.

Here's my kiddies paying a visit to the big guy......  

Mikey had his four month well-baby check up.  He's doing pretty good.  Still got goopy eyes.  Doc says that it isn't pink eye, just blocked tear ducts.  I wish they would open up already.  He always has big, crusty yellow and green eye boogies.  It's just gross.  

Here's his stats:
13 pounds 13 ounces - 25th percentile
24.7 inches tall - 40th percentile
17.5 inches around his head - 90 + percentile.  Yeah, PLUS.  Hmph. 

Katie took a field trip to a grocery store with preschool.  She had a great time and talked about it non-stop for an entire day.  The highlight for her was that she got to touch a crab and hold a clam.  She also got a special Katie-safe cookie at the end of the tour.  The problem was that the cookie I brought her was three times as big as the cookies the other kids got.  Oooops.

I'll end with this.  

Introducing Cinderella and Prince Charming.


I just had to get a picture of that.  Poor Mikey.  I feel bad for the guy.  Just wait until you get older, dude.  I had a sister just like her.  She's gonna be the Mom and you are gonna be the Baby.  She's gonna be the Teacher and you are going to be her student.  And, it's just a matter of time, but I just know she's gonna have you dress up in a gown and attend her tea parties!




April 2024 - Part 2

I'm not gonna lie. The rest of April was about Cinderella and pretty much just Cinderella.  We arrived back from Mexico for the start of...
