Yard Sales & Birthday Parties!

Posted by: Melissa W on: May 31, 2007

We’ve set a date for C’s first birthday party — June 30!  We have quite a few family members coming in from out of town already, so we can’t offer you a room here but if you are friends or family and want to come, let me know and I can get you some details [...]

Here’s a funny one for you…

Posted by: Melissa W on: May 29, 2007

Apparently people are finding this blog by googling “potato caught on fire.”  Now, this normally wouldn’t be super hilarious but A) when you use that search term, this is the FIRST link to come up and B) it is the only site with the exact phrase.
Surely I am not the only person in the world [...]

Fire Safety for Kids

Posted by: Melissa W on: May 25, 2007

So after the microwave fiasco, I am struck by just how clueless J was about fire safety.  I had to scream at him (literally, and I feel awful about that now) to get him out of the house.  He claims that he couldn’t hear me over the smoke detector, but I was down on his [...]

Told you so.

Posted by: Melissa W on: May 24, 2007

This is what I’ve said over and over to D in the last 20 hours or so.
A few weeks ago, I noticed the microwave acting funny. I mentioned it and said we needed to think about getting a new one. And we started looking. We looked at over the range models [...]

The Toothless Wonder is no more.

Posted by: Melissa W on: May 23, 2007

The first tooth finally broke through today.  He hasn’t complained much…he didn’t sleep well last night and crawled all over me for quite a while, but other than that we haven’t noticed much difference.
And his gum is really bulging on the other side, so I suspect we’ll see tooth #2 within a few days.  My [...]

FreeCycle

Posted by: Melissa W on: May 22, 2007

I love FreeCycle. What a great way to get rid of stuff, find stuff you want, etc. But occasionally it’s ridiculous. I could write an entire blog about the ridiculous FreeCycle emails I get.
Today, for instance, I got this:
we moved into a house with out a disher i don’t know what [...]

Devastation and Sadness

Posted by: Melissa W on: May 16, 2007

Sigh. Ian is no longer on Dancing With the Stars. I knew he couldn’t win it, so I shouldn’t be sad, but I really wanted Joey to go. It’s not that I dislike him…I just don’t think he’s the one who should win.  I suppose I will survive the loss of [...]

Preschool Irritation

Posted by: Melissa W on: May 15, 2007

As I mentioned, this is J’s last week of school.  Next year we had planned on him going 3 days a week, and we were all looking forward to him growing and maturing and getting ready for full time kindergarten the following year.
I found out this morning that he is actually NOT signed up for [...]

At least he loves school now…

Posted by: Melissa W on: May 11, 2007

Poor J.  Next week is his last week of school.  (Not sure why they get out so early, but whatever!)  He is absolutely devastated.  He was a cranky little dude all day yesterday because his teacher told him they only had one more week.
All of this really solidifies my decision to try to get him [...]

Billy Ray finally put out of his misery!

Posted by: Melissa W on: May 9, 2007

Thank heavens.  I couldn’t stand to watch him any more.  I was shocked (SHOCKED, I tell you!) to see Joey in the bottom 2.  Perhaps I am not the only one out there who loves Ian just because he is a star from the best teen soap opera of all time, 90210.  I was too [...]


W Family Players

D is the dad, the husband, and the breadwinner. All around nice guy and good at pretty much everything he does. It's disgusting, really. But makes him worth keeping around.

M is the mom, the wife, and the hopeless housekeeper. At least the kids' heads haven't fallen off yet. Beyond that, she sucks at the "stay at home" thing. Oh, and she's the blogger.

J is the big boy. Born October 11 2002, he is in kindergarten and loves it. Now 6 years old, and too smart for his own good. Talks a lot but extremely entertaining.

C is the little boy. Born June 26, 2006, he went through a lot in his first year but is doing just fine now. The only blond in the family, so his paternity is routinely questioned by rude strangers.

V is our baby girl. She is brand new and arrived in January 2009. So far everything is going well. We're thrilled to have added the final piece to our family puzzle. And yes, she WILL be the final piece!
