Burnt To a Crispi

Posted on March 29, 2013 by larva225

It is with a heavy heart that I must report that Crispi has gone back to her regular life and has departed our ecosystem.  I can’t complain (much).  She gave us several weeks before Felix’s arrival to help chase Stella … Continue reading →

Tar(get)-ed and Feathered

Posted on March 28, 2013 by larva225

As Crispi is about to leave (abandon) us, I’ve been trying like mad to run any errands or make any appointments this week.  One such errand was a trip to Target.  You’re riveted with interest, I know.  I had several … Continue reading →

Not-Stalgia

Posted on March 26, 2013 by larva225

Late last week Crispi and I loaded the kids up and travelled to Meridian, MS.  Normally the trip takes 4 hours each way; we made it in 5.  Not bad.  Certainly much better than I had expected.  The kids were … Continue reading →

Eat S#$t and Dye

Posted on March 25, 2013 by larva225

Easter is upon us.  As with Halloween, I’ve always enjoyed dyeing eggs each year, even when I was in college.  It was fun.  Get a group together – often unwillingly – have a few drinks, and dye away.  And again, … Continue reading →

What’s Your Potty Affiliation?

Posted on March 21, 2013 by larva225

In my realization that my time on maternity leave is actually passing, I figured I needed to revisit the whole potty training thing post-haste.  The other day, I gave up afternoon nap to read that book I had started pre-Felix, … Continue reading →

Check (Pri)Mate

Posted on March 19, 2013 by larva225

We’ve had a bit of a situation around here.  It technically started over a month ago, when Will, Stella, and I went to the grocery store a few days before Felix was born.  When we walked into the grocery store, we … Continue reading →

Speak Un-easy

Posted on March 18, 2013 by larva225

I’ve lost the ability to put a coherent sentence together, much less a complete sentence.  It seems I’m constantly being sidetracked or distracted.  By Stella fingerpainting in egg yolk and milk (egg tempera and gesso, anyone?), the colossal sound of wooden … Continue reading →

Licensed to Will

Posted on March 15, 2013 by larva225

As before, I have gotten Will to narrate his experience during Felix’s birth.  I’m grateful for his memories, as mine are very different and muddled by the “margarita” in my IV (as coined by my OB).  As today is Felix’s … Continue reading →

Choose Your Own Madventure

Posted on March 14, 2013 by larva225

I’ve been faced with some difficult dilemmas lately, trying to balance 2 kids.  Here are some of them.  Any feedback is welcome.  Perhaps I chose poorly.  Perhaps not: Scenario 1:  Due to the time change, “naked time1” no longer falls … Continue reading →

Breast-capades

Posted on March 13, 2013 by larva225

Crispi and I attempted a field trip with the kids to the mall the other day.  I still get kind of worn out pretty quick, so we figured the mall on a Monday afternoon would be reasonable;  it’s close, it’s … Continue reading →
