It’s the funniest and I guess creative-est thing she’s ever done! So we were on our way to a supermarket. I was running the shopping list verbally with her, play-testing if she can recall all the items we needed. “Why don’t we make a shopping list?” “Good idea, but I am driving….” “I’ll do it.” [...]

Given that previous post about how quickly Caleb could already handle a “soccer” ball- I couldn’t resist getting him this

Short post, this one… I have owned an iPhone since the 3G model (and don’t get me started on how I lost that one); using the 3GS now. Caitlin has always been “using” it for the simple games I have downloaded; where I had learned quickly that it was better to delete the arcade-ish games [...]

Dreaming my dreams…

Kids had only just gone back to school after a really really long year-end break.

One in particular this season was/is [...]

Three quarters through the 1-week holidays – what have you done?

Yup- it’s already going to be Friday already tomorrow. Took today and Friday off from work, just to “do stuff” with Caitlin. All week so far she’s been holed up in the apartment with Hot Mummee working from home, and really working. Poor kids haven’t been outdoors at all for some 72 hours or so [...]
