a day on facebook. too bad i'm too cool for twitter...

Tiffany Verwey spent a half hour in WalMart with her kids and it may have thrown my ENTIRE DAY. Little heathens. Oh yeah - and note to kid - "do NOT stick your tongue out at mommy when she's trying to give you shit for something." Ugh.

  • Tiffany Verwey She's been in time out for a little while now. Heh.
  • Jan Verwey She's got spunk that one...
  • Terra Van Deynze Don't feel bad I feel the same way when I go with my 4 kids all together! I am no help though because I can't even say it gets easier when they get older! It is just a different kind of not listening and fooling around!
  • Tiffany Verwey I sometimes think that at least if they were a little older I wouldn't have to worry about them panicking if they lost me and running out into the parking lot and getting hit by a car. One time when Jordan was refusing to stay with me I snuck around an isle and was going to watch and see what she did. Well, it took about 3 seconds and she was ... See Morescreaming "Mommy! Mommy!" and crying and all these other people swarmed her and were trying to tell her it was okay and that they'd find me. A little embarrassing, but she stuck to me like glue for the rest of that shopping trip!
  • Tiffany Verwey I'm wondering, how old/big do they have to be before they can't fit in amongst the cereal boxes on the shelves???

Tiffany Verwey just baked dozens of monster cookies. They've been cooling on the counter for hours. Unlike my other chores, I'm sure that if I just left them there they'd clean themselves up...

  • Terra Van Deynze I sure hope they are for tomorrow's party!
  • Tiffany Verwey As a matter of fact, they are! At least some of them. Next weekend is the family birthday party so I'm hoping that I can keep Steven out of the family half of the cookies for the next week. I'm going to need a lot of luck!
  • Tiffany Verwey And just so you know, the first batch may have burned a little. But I mixed them all up randomly in the containers so it's anybody's game. A little cookie russian roulette. "Why serve them to your guests at all" you ask? Why, because I know you're not THAT fussy. hehehe.

Tiffany Verwey jordan: "Mommy, can I have a bandaid?" Me: "For THAT? Nope." Jordan: "But Mommy, it's bleeding when I look at it" (as she strains to get her leg right up to her eyes). Me: "Heh, you'll be fine." hehehehe. I'm raising tough kids.


Tiffany Verwey has a feeling that Tennyson is upstairs sneaking cookies. They're supposed to be grounded from cookies today. Is that the best punishment or what? They're a little cheesed that I ate one. I told them that since I wasn't climbing the displays in WalMart it's okay if I have a cookie. "Mitchie's not getting one, is he?" they asked. Why, yes, yes he is. Mwahahahah.


Tiffany Verwey survived the day. As if normal people bake stuff all day. I think I've filled my quota for the year. I know, cup cakes, cookies and pizza may not be YOUR quota, but I don't feel all warm and fuzzy about baking. I'd rather cook.


  • Tiffany Verwey Scratch that, I'd rather Jan just brought me Tornado's every day around 5:30.

Tiffany Verwey is it SO horrible that I'm down in the nice cool, dry basement while Steven is outside mowing grass? What if I reluctantly give in and let him eat a monster cookie after? What if I make sure it's not one of the slightly scathed ones?

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...

the snowsuit

Image
I really must go back and tell you about . . . duhn duhn duh . . . the snowsuit . I've most certainly kept you in suspense far too long. Remember last winter when there was no snow, but it was still cold enough to freeze puddles and require kids to wear winter clothing? Good, we're caught up. Jordan is really hard on outerwear. Last year she destroyed a pair of skates, lost various mitts and tuques, shredded her first pair of winter boots and left her snowsuit looking like swiss cheese. The boots and snowsuit were done before Christmas. I made her wear the snowsuit for the rest of winter anyway and the boots I replaced after Christmas. It's amazing that a six year old child can ruin a rather expensive snowsuit in a few short months. I blame mother nature. Mother nature thought it would be funny to make it cold and icy out without actually giving us snow. Of course children want to run and drop to their knees or tummy on frozen puddles and slide to the other side. Of ...
