You know you’re married to a science teacher when …

You discover more than a pound of nightcrawlers — in styrofoam take-out containers — in your refrigerator.
At eye level.
Did I mention in your refrigerator? If I weren’t pregnant this would make for a highly effective diet plan.

Good evening, internet!

i disappear for a week and this is all you get! Me, enjoying a beer (Canadian) and the work of William Golding (British) upside down (like Australia!) at 35 weeks pregnant (European) with a bad haircut (American).
So. Maybe I leave you hanging but then I spin you ROUND THE WORLD, baby.

Maternity sewing: the babydoll dress

I told otter I’d post it eventually! Also promised in my Sew Mama Sew post. Basically, I saw this dress at Old Navy and knew I could make a maternity version for myself.
Here are some of the details:
Drafted the pattern from a few different things, but mostly Simplicity 4111. Left off the sleeves; cut the […]

Toddlerese: Does Not Compute

This morning, while gathered around the coffee table. Owen has a plastic bowl filled with dry Golden Grahams in front of him.
Owen: Milk.
Me: You want some milk in your cereal?
Owen: Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk.
Me: In your bowl, or in cup to drink?
Owen: In a bowl. In a cup.
Me: Right. Which one, in a bowl *pointing* […]

Power shoutage

Yesterday started with two time outs before eight a.m. and went downhill from there.
Owen, sorry to say, was a pill. And then I went to work and several worky things exploded (figuratively) and I was two hours late getting home. And when I got home, the house was dark and it was obvious that there […]

What has four doors and rhymes with … um, nuck?

Our brand-new family car, that’s what. Iain traded in his baby:

… a 7-year-old beaut that, regretfully, could only fit one carseat and no wifes.
But in return he got a smokin’ hot new four-door V8! And power windows! So he’s pretty psyched and I’m pretty psyched and I think it’s time for a family road trip.

I, in turn, am telling you to check out the blog as well as the fabric shop (closed for the mo’, sadly, but such a repository a beautiful things it […]

Photomonkey shows you the weekend in pictures

Photomonkey celebrates the end of Lent
My folks and my brothers came out to visit for the holiday. Yay visitors! This montage is a mosaic of pictures my younger brother shot; it pretty well sums up what we did, which was a whole lot of delicious, candy-coated nothing.

Hair hypocrite

Speaking of hair: Owen is now the victim of a home haircut. I’ll have to get a picture. For all my bitching about my own hair, I subjected my own son to a home haircut. I might as well break out the highwater sweatpants and tube socks and just doom him right now.
So. Last night. […]
