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

Dylan just climbed out of his crib instead of taking a nap. KILL ME NOW.

(We thought he'd finally fallen asleep because it was so quiet in there. Turns out it was too quiet because a few minutes later he waltzed out of his room saying "Sleep well?" We put him back and told him to stay in his crib and take a nap. Now it's quiet again...)

Now tagless for your comfort.

You have my sympathies, Jessica. It's the beginning of the fun phase of toddlerhood.

The water level is rising, as my cousin says.

[eta - And I just realized this means a whole new level of toddler-proofing in the cabin next week. Whatever bedroom the crib is in will have to be scrubbed clean of choking hazards before we let him nap there.]

Noah's been sleeping in a bed for a while now. He pops out on occasion saying, "Mommy tired too?" When he really gets down, then we move him to a crib.

I'm making peach frozen dessert. I can't decide if I want to do it milk free and make sorbet or add condensed milk and a touch of yogurt for ice cream.

I don't think it matters because the reason I'm making it at all is to have champagne floats with peach. Like a bellini.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

But you lived to tell about it!

well yes, I even refrained from actually yelling at tourists, but only just. E now has a replacement for the toy that broke, a backpack to start 3rd GRADE!!! (how did THAT happen) and couple of extra things that I found.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I bailed on the library but did get laundry and nails done. I didn't really have lunch, so of course now I'm ready for dinner. Hmm.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Aims, I'd like that, too! (And thanks, Perkins! It was great to meet you, too. Say, I need to get my San Francisco pictures online.)

I'm back from a weekend at my B-i-L's boat. Most of the time we spent hanging out on the back porch-like area, watching the other boats go by, drinking margaritas. We did go out on Lake St. Clair today, but we discovered an electrical problem that the B-i-L and nephew will have to fix. (Well, find first, then fix, as is the way of electrical problems.) Luckily the nephew just got his electrical engineering degree, so he's about to start earning the last four year's tuition.

Also, I shared the whole polar bear thing with my sister, who found it hilarious. We've been going around mouthing "polar bear" at each other as the kids scrapped.
