To Parents: do Max and Ruby have a guardian?

Today I will try bread with all bread flour; yesterday's was 1/2 and 1/2 whole wheat. I over proofed a little (altitude...).

having power issues with my MacBook...when i PLAY GAMES with the ac plugged in, it still draws down the battery...time wasters bad...

snowplow is speeding

We got buckets shaped like animals and sifters, rakes and shovels; somewhere on the garage is a giant dump truck. We'll follow after lunch.

"Tommy, you only have to wash your hands when Mommy's in there with you." Mikey's advice to Tommy who is potty training...

Rosie and Mikey are outside roaming the neighborhood: from our window you can see seven children abandoned the playground for a mountain of dirty snow in the church parking lot.

The small triumphs of child rearing:
Watching Tommy get up and go potty.
Mikey asking, "do big and pig rhyme?"
Tatya finally asking for milk

Tatya: MILK!
She did not say nanas, boobies, nor did she rub my shirt with her face. Nope. She said MILK and pointed to her cup! YAY!

Four year old joke:
Mommy, why does a french fry only have one eye?
Why?
French frEYE. Get it?

uhoh! Mike fell asleep during story time and the boys were playing "wild animals" until 10, all babies awake, crying everywhere, what????

super martian robot giiiiiirl!

"Ponty, don't fight on cool trick. My cool trick is splashing water. Mom, look. This is my cool trick..."

you have to wait your turn; we have to wait our turn; you have to wait in line; I have to wait in line; it's only fair to wait my turn...

What do you mean? Jasmine and Barack Obama are brown like me...I'm light light light brown, see? Mikey 4ish

Yes it is morning; R. is grouchy because nobody knew she was sleeping in the guest room and not already up and at 'em. Oops.

"Those are grownups and the wiggles are grownups, they're just crazy, Mom; I mean, they are wild." Mikey age 4ish

Medium then goodnight

Tatya is wiping Foopa and putting a brown hair tie around her face, just as I did to Tatya moments ago (except I have better aim).
