I've been waiting my whole life for this.

Inside all of us is a WILD THING.

Herding Cats or: Soccer for Toddlers

Griffin (my widdle iddy biddy boy - where did he go?) started soccer today. It was probably the most fun we've ever had. Watching a dozen not-yet-three-year-olds attempt to organize and skip sideways and jump hurdles was probably the funniest thing I have ever seen. I am soooo looking forward to the next five Saturday mornings! LEOPARDS FOR LIFE!

Gooooooal!
Griffin told me "need a break", so we sat on the ball for a minute.
Kicking over the cones was probably our favorite station. For being so mild-mannered he was shockingly aggressive when it came to kicking these over.
His "fren" Gavin. Gavin was awesome and I hope he and his mom (the volunteer in orange) want to be our friends.
In the tunnel of love. I'm the only one who called it that.
Balancing isn't so easy with four layers of clothing.
We definitely need to work on jumping.
fin B. Soccer lover extraordinaire.

Quite literally the best thing ever...*

Poor Bizkit

I promise bloggy updates soon!

BRB, having S.A.D.

I'm pretty sure we all have seasonal affective disorder (damn you inversion. damn you straight to hell), along with never-ending colds, and I for one have lost the will to live. I'll be back when the sun comes out and my sinuses are clear. In the mean time, enjoy this comic and maybe send me a present or a card so I can get better.

The President

The day is finally here. It is really happening and all I can do is cry and smile and feel overwhelmed and relieved and full of "it". Hope. What a beautiful day, what a perfect moment in history, what an inspiring inauguration speech. If you all were here with me I would hug you 'til it hurts.

You know what I love?

Amazon!Behold - a baking bible, a memoir of motherhood, a Pulitzer Prize winner, a children's album that doesn't suck, and an inspiring art project. I know what I'll be doing for the next week or two!

Monkey!

The more I watch this, the harder I laugh.

Our Second Christmas

Get yer motor runnin'...
Head out on the hardwood! Good thing gapa was here to help put this beast together.
Safety first!
My two favorite creatures on the entire planet. I worship them.
We had a great time with my dad and the fam over New Year's. In addition to another round of present opening (!), we played games, watched football, ate and ate and ate, went to the mall, bleached some hair, and played lots of Wii. Thanks for coming over you three! We miss you, when ya coming back?
