We went out in Chestnut Hill last night.  They were having a Christmas shopping event, where all of the stores stayed open late, carolers roamed and you could even get roasted chestnuts.  Which were surprisingly good. Anyway, we met our … Continue reading →

S Vs. Crabby Nurse…Take 2

Posted on November 11, 2011 by sdraugelis

R has an ear infection.  Pretty par for the course…he tends to get these.  This one caught me off guard, however, because his ear infections almost always surface the night before we’re about to get on an airplane somewhere, so….surprise! … Continue reading →

Posted on October 27, 2011 by sdraugelis

Raines got sick first – fever, cough, chills, etc.  Then I did.  Then….it seemed like Pax was getting sick.  And I hate when babies get sick.  So I called our (new) doctor.  We haven’t been in yet (and YES, I’m … Continue reading →

Posted on August 29, 2011 by sdraugelis

We arrived at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday. Raines turned to me – “Mom! You have penny?  I want to make a wish!” Hunh.  This is new.  I have no idea where he learned what a wish is, much less … Continue reading →

Before I forget, here are a few of my favorite Raines phrases from the last several months.  Sadly, he’s already grown out of some of them (like “slowy motion“).  Sob. On his older Hot Wheels cars….. [disgustedly]  “They go slowy … Continue reading →

My Hero….

Posted on June 30, 2011 by sdraugelis

Mike has been gone for two of the last three weeks.  Thankfully, his trips haven’t been consecutive.  It was all fairly intimidating:  new town, new apartment, two kids, no friends, all alone.  Scary.  But….we’re working things out.  Raines has been … Continue reading →

Posted on June 10, 2011 by sdraugelis

Me:  Raines, ready to go? Raines: Nope. Me, thinking to myself, “Why am I asking him?”  Deep breath. Me, sternly and annoyed:  Raines, it’s TIME to go. Raines, nonplussed: Ok, Mum! Aaand now I feel bad for being so annoyed.  … Continue reading →

Is this the most annoying conversation in the world? Yes. Yes, it is.

Posted on April 27, 2011 by sdraugelis

I get that three year-olds whine.  And talk in their own language.  And fake laugh.  And stick out their bums and chant, “BUMMY BUMMY BUMMY BUM”.  Which I’d really like to blame on the other kids in daycare…so it’s too … Continue reading →
