Nothing But Hassells

Couldn’t Resist The Pun

Our place still looks like everyone else’s.  We’re the balcony in the middle.

November 2007

 

 

Mr. Incredible still lives at my house. Only now he wears a Thomas sweat shirt, and is honing his negotiation skills each afternoon on a very distracted mom.   Needless to say, until school’s out, Conner will probably get an untold number of unconscious “yes” answers.

Wow, this update is overdue!  As you can see, we’ve moved.  We swapped our uncomfortably large single-family home in PA for a “cozy” second-floor apartment in CA. 

The weather is awesome!  It’s December and we’re still in shorts and t-shirts!  Our sweet little abode gives us the opportunity to dine “al fresco” every night!  (dining room table doesn’t fit in our dining area) 

We’ve already made fast friends with the people below us, they get up early every Saturday and Sunday just to knock “good morning” to us.

Caleb lost his first tooth just before Halloween.  We put the tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy, we were so excited to see what she’d leave him.  When I tucked him in that night, I again got excited for him and he smiled and nodded at me with his “whatever, mom” look.  Can I tell you how pathetic it feels to be patronized by a 6 year-old?  His only concern was that he could eat his Halloween candy now that his tooth is gone. (priorities, priorities)

Caity is still counting down until she turns 12, only now she just wants to become a “woman”.                         (“Calgon, take me away!”)

Nobody ever told me that the Faith In God program was named to remind parents to pray fervently while their children passed off requirements.  Caity and Chris were making brownies for Family Home Evening only to realize that they forgot an ingredient.  Since they couldn’t remember which ones they’d used and which they hadn’t, they made cookies out of the dough.  We gave the leftovers to our apartment complex maintenance team for replacement roof tiles.

Heaven help us, he’s in the kitchen!
