Happy Birthday to Me

As Chris so delicately put it a mere 12 days ago: Yep, that’s right – it’s my birthday. I’m not telling you how old though. No, really. Well…okay…okay. I’ll give you a hint. It rhymes with dirty whore. Yes, apparently I am 12 whole days younger than Chris, which is great because it allows me [...]

And the best game you can name…

Since I started Sarah and the Goon Squad a year and a half ago I have met several friends through blogging. On Monday I went to a meeting where I had the pleasure of meeting Aviva, Elisa, Heather B., and Mary. Not even including all of the people I met in San Jose at BlogHer [...]

Some Days are More Surreal than Others

I haven’t been writing about it much because I keep hoping it will go away if I don’t talk about it but Ian has some sort of virus. He hasn’t been to school all week (you know, all two days that are involved in a two year olds school week) and Claudia only went to [...]

23 Minutes and Still Counting

Claudia is insisting on dressing herself this morning. She refuses any help whatsoever. The madness began about 25 minutes ago when she stripped down completely naked even taking off her brand new clean diaper. At least I got her to put on a Pull Up. I don’t think she has the motor skills to diaper [...]

Remember When I Told You My Kids Could Sing The Misfits?

Mark got video proof.

Randomness Part 59

This video makes me wish we had two more kids. Seriously, can I borrow two of your offspring to form an Iron Maiden cover band? We’ll call it Children of the Damned. (Thanks, Markkkk) Wii Have a Problem. (Thanks Frank Sucks) I got a hit from this search last week: “When I am using the [...]

Ignore this post – I just need it to put these pictures somewhere

These pictures only make sense if you came here from this post.

If You’re Not Doing Anything Right Now

Go wish The Queen and The Kaiser happy birthdays. That’s right. Not only are their names homophones (Erin and Aaron) but their birthdays are exactly one day apart. His birthday was yesterday and hers is today. Keep in mind that Aaron is waaaaaaaaaay older than me. (Eight whole days.) Why do I bring this up? [...]

Tattle Tale

When we were at my parents house I was trying to get the kids really talking. I said “Tell Grandma and Grandpa where we go grocery shopping.” In a perfectly clear full sentance Claudia said “We go to the wine store”. Thanks a lot for ratting me out. Jerk.

Translate Schlongmeister and Other Searches

No lie. “Translate Schlongmeister” somehow ended up here. I can’t ever recall typing the word schlongmeister until I just wrote the title of this post and now I’ve gone and done it thrice. Whatever. It’s still funny. Here are a few more searches that landed these poor people here: – photo of Laura Bush in [...]

It is Nature Not Nurture – I Have Proof

My boy/girl twins share almost all of their toys. One of the things they have is a huge doll house that Gabe found for them at our neighbor’s garage sale. Claudia plays with the doll house and the people that came with it all of the time. Ian plays with occasionally. Here is where the [...]

Vacation Photos

I just put a ton of pictures up on flickr, but for those of you who are dying to see how my night out with the other blogging Moms went here is a sneak preview. Wendy and Izzy. Bridgette and Becky. It went pretty well if you are into that kind of thing, and I [...]
