Oh, happy day (it's Friday)

It's been a long couple of weeks. Spring break with both kids taking a turn being sick, followed by Graham's brief return to school, only to be felled by a stomach bug on Wednesday. Also, Dean is hardcore teething... It seems like I'm constantly scrambling to find my parenting groove. Is it always going to be that way?

Random moments from the past few days...
Part of our dinner conversation last night, or Elizabeth has no filter:
E: "Blah, blah, blah meconium!"
Z: "Why, why would you say that to me while I'm eating green curry?!"
*
Graham to Daddy:
G: "Daddy, am I old?"
Z: "No, you're still young."
G: "I'm three years old..."
*
Dean tried hummus yesterday and loved it! It's so nice to have a child who eats!

Off to try to read for a few moments while Dean's napping. Wish me luck!

Ways not to start a diet

1) With a hangover. Had a lovely time at Amber's wine tasting b-day, but should have skipped the margaritas at Curra's after...

2) With leftover pizza in the fridge. I've been offering it to Graham every 5 minutes with no success.

When I've South Beached myself into pre-Dean weight, I'll look back on this and laugh...

Ooh, how I love them

Dean got into the watercolor pencils yesterday. Looks like he was going for a 'stache!



Meanwhile, Graham continues to be cute.


Here's Dean testing the gates Zach put up on our deck...


Which Graham helped him build!
