Or a job you could bike or walk to, I bet.
That would be really sweet considering the real estate that is around my place of work. Unfortunately I'm stymied by the lack of ability to afford said real estate.
I like the ruffles.

lisah, I had success with using butter to coat pills for Bear.
The vet tech suggested that too. I'll give it a try!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Walking to work was the BEST. Esp. walking through Central Park. I miss that! Not the job so much, though...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You sound like you've got some pretty awesome kids yourself. Matilda is a cutie from the recent pictures I've seen.
Yeah, she's freakin' adorable when she's not the fussbutt queen of two year old Id behavior. All that circus school training has unfortunately given her the climbing ability of a spider monkey. I picked her up the other day she clambered up on top of my head before I could stop her.
And, I have to say, Emmett was super awesome all weekend. From baseball, to tuxedo events to playing with Matilda it was like all of his virtues were on display.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That sounds like a great weekend.

I wonder how Leif has been sneaking off the circus school without our knowledge.

“Not dead yet!”
Thank heavens I never had climbers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I was small (3?) I used to climb on top of our upright piano. I still have a bump on my skull from when I fell off once.

Whoo hoo, I am going to be in New Orleans this time tomorrow! I am looking into tours or other activities to break up some time between bouts of hedonism- I was looking at this one- just from random googling. Anyone have any recommendations? For tours or other non-eating non-drinking activities?

Nutty tried to climb a bookcase at about 3 and it fell over. It hit the dining room table, solid maple, and cracked it, which was very lucky for Nutty. (This was before the days of wall anchors and stuff.)
I feel so lucky that my kids aren't extreme in their behavior. They aren't/weren't climbers, serious bolters (though you have to watch Dillo pretty closely right now) or mad scientist experimenters (don't stick weird stuff in the VCR, etc.) The occasional thrown sippy cup and sugar stolen from the sugar bowl is nothing compared to what I hear about some kids.
