Sesame Place-A Recap in Pictures

August 21, 2007

Michael's thoughts- A perfect way to start the day, breakfast with Cookie Monster. Except the food was vile. And breakfast with Cookie Monster had no cookies. Where are the cookies? Hey Ernie, do you see any cookies? High Five Bert!!! Daddy, step it up, make this thing go "super fast!" Wait, that's Little Einsteins. Wrong [...]

I have another confession to make

August 20, 2007

I'm on a diet. And it sucks. But I've lost 7 pounds, in a month. I find that when I am on a diet I obsess about food. It's all I can think about. I pathologically plan when I can eat next, and what I can eat next. And I schedule my workouts, in my [...]

I have a confession to make

August 20, 2007

I watched High School Musical 2 three times this weekend. And only once was with my 6 year old High School Musical loving nephew. Doug was not amused. I liked the first one better, in case you are interested.

I think I may be in for it

August 18, 2007

Upon listening to Michael play in his crib for an hour and a half after bed time, I go in. This is the conversation that followed- Me: "Michael, it's time to go to sleep." Michael: "No Mommy, I'm poopy" Me: Quick sniff test, "no your not." Michael: "Actually, I don't think I am either." At [...]

More-I have no words

August 17, 2007

Baby name consultants. Really? Doug and I had a hard time naming Michael. But, what was I going to tell a baby name consultant? "I need an M." "How about Michael?" "Oh, I never thought of that!" Is this the easiest job in the world? People have some serious money to burn if they are [...]

I have no words

August 16, 2007

I just don't know what to say about this. I'm speechless that anyone assumed this was a good idea. And I'm saddened that we even have to think about it. From the Washington Post.

Sesame Place-Report from the Trenches

August 15, 2007

I have a problem. I plan things, and then I spend, days, weeks, months actually, reading trip advisor obsessing over every last detail. Is there a term for that? I just call it anal. The reviews of both Sesame Place and the hotel we stayed out were not good. The hotel was picked because we [...]

I won! I won!

August 15, 2007

I won. I've never won anything. Wanna hear a secret? I have no idea what I'm doing with this. We are not a video game family. Doug says sell it. I think the game looks neat. Votes? And I promise a report from Sesame Place soon. But, short story, hotel sucked, park was awesome, and [...]

Does stuff like this only happen to me?

August 13, 2007

My best friend constantly says to me, stuff that could only happen to you, continually, only happens to you. We pulled into our hotel at 3:30 today, after a 3 hour ride taking 4, to find out that our room was not ready. Even though check in is at 3. We are staying in a [...]

A Family That Plays Together, Stays Together

August 10, 2007

Interesting topic choice, since we are headed off to Sesame Place. Amy warned me, both in person and in this post. But you know what, we need some fun. There is too much stress and errands and not enough honest to goodness fun going on in this house. For me, the family that plays together [...]
