The most stressful and tense moments in our home are without a doubt, the hour before school in the morning. Until recently Sam just couldn’t get it together. Seriously, he couldn’t get *anything* together … not getting dressed, not brushing his hair and teeth, not eating his breakfast, and he Read more…
Sam and Lizzy jumping on the trampoline. They look like orphans (happy orphans), but if I am honest this is pretty much par for the course at this time of night (7 pm). Lizzy is on her 2nd or 3rd outfit of the day. I had to take a clean Read more…
Our first day of skiing was GREAT!
We are all exhausted.
I bought a new camera to take skiing. Something small and light that I can fit in my pocket. My D70 is just too darn heavy (and precious) to take skiing. The new camera is about the size of a deck of cards, takes OK pictures and it does video as well.

I ordered one of these cute ties for Sam last week. I’d looked in all the local department stores and couldn’t find anything that looked like it hadn’t been there since the 1980’s. Check these out they’re only $10 and they fit from infant to tween. That’s a steal!
Yesterday, out of the blue, I decided we’d ALL paint (Mr. MK too). Nope, not the walls, on paper just for fun. This is VERY, VERY unlike me! The children looked shocked.
Generally, I discourage arts and crafts (until the sitter arrives) due to the mess and general chaos! I am not sure what came over me?! It might be the 30 Tiny Moments, forcing me to be a little bit more creative and look at things a wee bit differently. There I go, getting all artsy-fartsy on you.
By the time we were set up and I had explained the strict watercolor bylaws rules to Sam and Liz, Georgia had fallen asleep on the couch. YAH! Oops, did I say that out loud? (Sorry Georgie)
What rules? Well, you know the standard painting strict watercolor bylaws rules –> make sure your brush is clean before you put it in a new color, because if you use black and then put it in the yellow and get it dirty; I’ll have to beat you with a BIG stick. If you rinse your dirty brush in my clean water, then I’ll beat you with the BIG stick again. Keep your brush on your own paper. No arguing. No yelling. No whining (SAM). It sounds like a barrel of laughs, eh?

30 Tiny Moments – Day 4
He loves his transformers. He is so good at it! I shot a series of about 24 of this transformation. He barely moves but shot by shot the truck becomes a robot — don’t worry I won’t show you ALL of them.

Lately, we’ve had a lot of milk go sour, LONG before the expiration date. In fact, it has happened so often, the kids do a thorough inspection now before daring to douse their beloved cereal in potentially ‘rotten’ milk. Generally, Lizzy does the inspections, you know because she’s older and more qualified to sniff cartons and read expiry dates. Today Sam did the honors.
Sam: “Dad, I think this milk might be bad. It’s really old.”
Mr. MK: “I just bought it. How old is it?”
