GROW UP!

I don't wear a watch. I used to, but I never looked at it. I forgot it was there. I got a load of stupid looks from people who were kind enough to tell the time to a girl wearing a watch. Since I can't tell the time from the angle of the sun in the house, I use PBS. Mr. Rogers comes on at 6:30 am followed by Arthur at 7:00. There are 2 episodes. Jess has to be out of bed and ready to eat breakfast by the end of Mr. Rogers. She needs to be done eating by the end of the first episode of Arthur, and dressed ready to go out the door by the end of the second one.

This morning we were getting ready for school and watching Arthur, right on schedule. Jess watched for a second and then in an exasperated tone said, " Mom, in every Arthur Kate is still a baby, Arthur is always not old enough, and DW is always four. I wish they would just grow up! Teen Arthur and prepubescent DW. I think they'd have to change networks.

Happy Birthday from Pollyanna

Happy Schmappy Birthday to me!

So, I know this is late, not that anyone is surprised...but I wanted to say thanks to the girls for the fun birthday lunch. ( I wrote proper Thank You notes and delivered about half of them so far..duh.) And then to make it even sweeter, Pollyanna (who has entirely admirable talents) made me a fantastic fondant mad hatter birthday cake! She made the fondant out of marshmallow so it tasted as wonderful as it looked! I took pictures of the art.

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten
Jess woke up on this particular morning in rare form. She usually doesn't care what she's wearing; her birthday suit is just as good as anything else. On this day inparticular, she informed me that she didn't want any bows or bands and that she had her clothes picked out. Was that Kindergarten or 8th grade?
