I was remiss

In wishing the Grand Duke a happy second birthday here!!!! Better late than never!! Happy birthday Honey Cakes!!!

An oldie but goodie:


Btw- he's officially in the terrible twos!!! You'd be surprised how quickly one could forget how fierce they could be, especially since big sis just turned 3 a few months ago but, man alive, does he throw a temper tantrum with zeal!

On a semi related note "big sis" has decided at the ripe old age of 3 yrs and 3 months that she "needs to start wearing makeup" so that she "can fall in love". Pray for me folks. Pray long and hard.

Another installment of the baby photo shoot chronicles- Holiday 09

It's time for another holiday card!!! This time I enlisted the help of a professional, Grandma. Since she's taken pix of every brat on the island born between 1980 and 2000, and as many (if not more) bridezillas, I figured she was up for the challenge. There was very little bribing (the little amount there was didn't work), lots of "PRETTTTTTTTY PLEASE just sit still for a minute", a fair amount of grumbling under my breath, and a teensy weensy bit of photoshop but the final product is pretty G D awesome!!! See for yourself:



Some of you will get this in the mail and others will have to admire it from this page. If you happen to be in the latter category and want to be in the first category email me your address and you can have your very own copy!! :-)

Thanks Rammar/Mooma!!!

Halloween and dress up

I don't have a nice pic of Eva in her dorothy dress from Halloween b/c she wouldn't cooperate but I do have a few cute ones from "princess dress up hour" a few days prior. Check her out. Doesn't she make a lovely snow white????




Lukey's pix are authentically Halloween!!! All Aboard!!!!!!!!!

Out of the mouth of babes

Eva says:

"Mommy when I put this on I feel like a butterfly!"

A shout out



The happiest little boy I've had the pleasure to meet. I don't think its possible for him to make eye contact and not grin from ear to ear. It's his gift to me everyday.

fudgy the whale



Fudge pops, one of the few pure joys of summer.

Not done yet

but getting very close. I painted the basement this weekend. In between dinner with the girls, a wedding, a hangover and football.

Here is a pic of the progress as per Uh Nets request:

The before for comparison purposes:


Here she is as of yesterday. Still waiting on the ceiling (which she got today), the floor, trim, closet doors and furnishings:

How do I break it to my dear husband

that his first ever snow bonding session with Eva produced a sculpture that looked more like a snowpenis than a snowman????



He had so much fun making it that I don't even think I can.



And would it be wrong to knock it down early tomorrow morning before anyone drives by and actually sees it?

The Toddler Photo Shoot Chronicles - The Christmas Installment

If Santa were real and I were good enough to be deserving of a gift I would most assuredly ask him to turn my kids into well behaved, good picture taking, cheese saying, pose cooperating charming precious little muffins for like 10 stinking minutes. Be honest with me- is that too much to ask? Since you and I know Santa is a crock I'm stuck with non posing, hair messer-uppers, drooling like a wrinkle dog, non cheese uttering, non cute being, opposite of charming and most UNprecious little devils. So this is installment 3 of the Toddler Photo Shoot Chronicles- The Christmas Shoot. To refresh your memory Shoot 1 was baby announcement day and it yeilded that horrendous but terribly funny picture of ookie that made him look like he was pinching out one. Shoot 2 was Target day which yeilded... NOTHING... well nothing purchasable or usable thanks to the girl child. So as not to disappoint, Shoot 3 was so exactly predictable. There was drool, drama, crying, smacking, running and hiding, bribing, more crying and finally defeat. Be on the lookout for a Christmas card that will literally send shivers up Mammar's spine (sorry Mammar but that's what you get for being away again during another Toddler photo shoot).

Here are some of the more notable shots:

















I know people. There ain't a damn thing right with them. The "set" sucks, the lighting is horrific, the angles are horrendous and as if all of that wasn't bad enough the children were most uncooperative. I've been wanting to buy a fancy new camera but for a while but I know that won't make the children want to behave so I'm saving myself the loot. Their outfits are presh though, no?
