In Case You Were Wondering...

YES.
We still are picking up styrofoam peanuts from Caroline's old beanbag chair.

I'm playing the bad mother right now and letting the boys watch a new episode of "The Backyardigans" (or The Backyardigardigans as Sam calls them) while I'm on the computer. There are a lot of other things I should be doing...getting clothes together, folding laundry, sweeping, mopping, picking up. But frankly, it just feels so good to sit.
And so I will.
At least for a few minutes.

We had an hour and a half or so of intense thunderstorms last night from about 3-4:30, so no one got a decent night of sleep. Caroline did go to school today - wild horses couldn't keep her away. The boys and I made apple walnut muffins this afternoon. But Sam won't touch them, even when I call them "apple cupcakes". Apparently it is simply too much nutrition in one place for him - you know, with the apples and everything in them. Dinner is set for the oven, I just need to boil the potatoes. He probably won't touch that, either - so he can eat himself a bowl of Cheerios and some carrots. Some battles are worth fighting and some are not.

It was Opposite Day yesterday for Sam at school. He went as a "Delivery Agent" on top and a "Boy" on the bottom. That was a good as it got. But I'll take it. =-) He was cute.
