the frozen tundra - FOREVER

Does it ever feel like summer is never ever ever ever going to come? Ever?

In honour of June, I had decided to turn the heat off. It's JUNE already! It's about 15 degrees (59F) in my house right now. It's a little chilly. I still refuse to turn the heat back on. It's June!

For Jordan's second birthday we had a back yard pool party. Granted, it was a kiddie pool and I did fill it up with warm water from the laundry sink, but still. It was June, and my little girl was out in the yard, soaking wet in a bathing suit. There was no talk of that this year.


This picture was taken two years ago in May. I especially love the boots! We may have to get this outfit back out if it doesn't warm up soon.

Did I mention it was Jordan's birthday yesterday? She's 4! Very exciting. I think the most exciting thing is that she's actually psyched about being 4. It's cute - we ask her how old she is, or comment on her doing something "big girlish" now because she's four, and you should see her puff up with pride. It's like a personal accomplishment.

Yes, there will be some sort of birthday bonanza post for her too!

Happy birthday to Jordan!

I'm so jealous, because 4 is better than 3. So I hear.

Sadly, that baby is gone. Tennyson still has the toddler softness about him, but Jordan looks like a little kid. I hug her now and where she used to be all baby chub and skin and softness there is now hip bones and knees and elbows. She's long and gangly and somehow bonier. I don't even know that she's skinnier, but her shape or something is changing somehow. And she "knows" everything and she wants to do everything herself and I can't tell her things she thinks she already knows because I'm wrong. Sigh.

two things: one to do with running, the other with my fastly-deteriorating fashion sense

I've started running again. I'm not sure if I ever "officially" stopped, but I only ran twice in August, totalling about nine miles, so I kind of felt like when I restarted in September that I was, well, restarting. This is probably not even blog-worthy. It would probably be better served disappearing into the chasm that is facebook, but I need blog topics, so here it is. I once had a friend (coughcoughangelacough) who said that she didn't run outside because she was afraid that just maybe, she ran "funny," and people would see her. Being an awesome friend, I insisted that surely she didn't. I lied. I have never even seen her run. I have just recently decided that she does run funny. Wanna know why? (as if spell check didn't underline 'wanna') Everyone runs funny. Quite seriously, everyone . I prefer to run outside, because the treadmill sucks my will to live, and a mile or two in I turn into a sighing, eye-rolling teenager, o

MIA

No, my secret alias is not Mia. MIA = missing in action. I have been avoiding posting on here. Why? Because I don't have a ton of stuff to write about. Also, I've discovered that my blog is being followed by a couple of people I'm not related to. Although I'm super excited about it, I'm also a little intimidated! Sounds silly, I know. Hear me out. You know how you can be a teenager (I'm not a teenager, we're just being hypothetical) and have big thick coke bottle glasses, zits all over your face, big baggy pants and a baggy sweatshirt hiding the rolls hidden underneath and a perm that went very very wrong and is now only curly on ONE SIDE and your mom still tells you you're beautiful and she'd love to trade faces with you? You know how that feels? You don't have to question it too much, because she's your mom and you know she's probably a little biased. Blogging is a little like that. Until now, only my friends have read my blog. I coul

christmas time's a coming

Only 23 days until Christmas! Remember when we were kids, and Christmas was all about time off school, lots of treats (chocolate, candy canes, oranges, turtles!), new Christmas dresses for the church concert, lights, music, decorations, noisy and exciting gatherings at Grandma's house, Christmas episodes of our favorite tv shows and of course presents! The list goes on and on. I still find Christmas exciting. Yet, now the season holds more than just the "fun" stuff. Now we have to worry about scheduling in all the different families and parents, buying gifts we can't necessarily afford, making dishes to bring to the different gatherings, hoping that people will understand that we need to share the holidays with many others, and hoping that nobody will be hurt if our time with them is short. I wonder if I'm doing a good job of making the holidays fun and enjoyable for my kids, and if I've bought the right gifts. I worry about what five days in a row of late ni
