Okay I totally staged that photo, but had to get one of Tuesday and the gates. Bj put three of them up last week and we're waiting on an extension for the one in the basement to partition off half of it. It doesn't really matter right now for miss super slow mover, but she …

8 months
Little Miss Sparkle Pants turned eight months old a few days ago. So unbelievable to me. Again I find that she is growing and changing more than I can keep up with. Or barely take a picture of: And to my sweet little Tuesday Lee, I'm sorry I have not filled out your baby book!!! …
The long weekend
Over the weekend Bj and I drove almost five hours to his parent's (mom and step dad). I note the time because Tuesday spent the whole drive up ASLEEP. That is craziness. She went 6.5 hours with out eating, near her record. Not only that but when we pulled her out of her car seat …
Smarts
I hope you all have a fabulous long (for those in the US) weekend. I will be trying to figure out how to outsmart my crazy moving, waving, almost eight month old. She can only go backwards, but it turns out you can get into a lot of trouble going that way. Gotta go, it …
Birthday Love
I love giving gifts. Finding the perfect thing for someone, or especially making the perfect thing is so much fun. But I'm not going to lie; opening packages on my birthday I love too! The first thing I got on my birthday I got myself at that antique/junk store I was talking about earlier: I …
The loud, dirty, bright, fantastic fair
Tuesday is either teething and it's the worst thing ever, or she's not teething but it's still the worst thing ever. Nothing seems to make her happy, but her fever is gone. Poor girl. I'm going to back track a bit and catch up on some bits of life I missed telling you all about. …
Tuesday Love
Poor little Tuesday is not feeling so great tonight. So I don't have the entry I planned ready to go. I thought I would do a quick post with lots of pictures of my usually sunny happy girl. The other night we had dinner out on our front porch. So much fun! The grownups got …
The house will never smell the same
Yes, Sciarrino and I survived pickle maddness 2009, just barely! Oh my goodness we did so much canning. Here's what happened. Two Wednesday's ago Sciarrino and I were walking the street fair when we saw canning cucumbers, so we decided to get some and try it out. We were going to get three reasonably …
Pickles, vinegar, and crazy
It’s the middle of the night and I’m nursing Tuesday. All I can smell is hot vinegar and pickling spices. The kitchen is a wreck and the dinning room table is full of jars. We might have gotten in over our heads a tiny little bit.
“Why are you making so many pickles?”
Bj asked as I came home from the farmer's market with another haul of cucumbery goodness: Well last week at the Wednesday market we (Sciarrino and I) talked about how we had wanted to do pickles last year, but didn't, so we just went ahead and bought a huge bag of pickling cucumbers. Thereby forcing …
