Oh, no! That's a real, live, hard earned trophy.
You can't tell it by the look on his face, but I swear he was about to pee his pants.
All his idea, brought to life with a little help from the grown-up types. Smoked on the pinewood derby track because Mama accidentally glued one of the wheels into a stationary position (oops!), but the judges were impressed.
Best in show, that's my boy!

You are cordially invited...
To a potluck wedding reception.
How do we feel about this??
It's a second marriage, and a small family affair at that. But I've never been to a covered dish wedding before.
I'm kind of intrigued.

Thankful Thursday
Boy's follow up today. The pediatrician? Totally overreacted.
There is absolutely nothing wrong. He's just made the way he's made. So after a *VERY* brief "What a load of crap!" moment...
Woo Hoo!!
So today I am thankful for a healthy boy, and that healthy girl right down there. For good friends, a *mostly* good husband, and, well, yadda, yadda, yadda...
'sa good day.

I wish we stayed home more.
Between working on the addition to the IL's house and my never-ending guilt that I ever moved out of my parents' home, we hardly ever stay home on a weekend. I never thought there'd be a bright side to Hubs's truck breaking down, but it meant we had a perfect excuse not to go anywhere this weekend.
Gah, it's nice. I got the house de-Christmased and even cleaned yesterday, all before noon. Then we decided to do something nice for the boy, so we packed up and headed out to Chuck E. Cheese. Almost there, we decided to drive on and pick up cousin A, then head on down to Billy Bob's Wonderland, which is a CEC ripoff that has laser tag. They whacked-a-mole and motorcycle raced their little hearts out, then we bought them both a hamburger and home we came.
They're good boys, I'm glad they're in my life. I don't think LB has ever had as good a time as she had riding in between them in the car.
Now I'm sitting here dreading going to the grocery store. Dreading getting up for a full work week tomorrow, because I know that first week in January means almost six full months of no long weekends, no breaks, no nothing. Blech. Didn't hit the Powerball last night, unfortunately, so I don't have a choice in the matter. Boo.

A very special haiku Friday...
One promise, broken
Another soon to come true;
Both songs of her heart.
The world is waiting
With breath that is baited, child.
Come fly with us now.
Mama Bird's sweet voice
Open arms, lullabies, love.
Yours for the taking.
Dear sweet bird,
Your time has come!
Happy Term Day, Canape!

May old acquaintance be forgot...
Or something? No idea how that song goes, I just hum it.
Happy new year, all! I wish you nothing but health and happiness in the 366 days to come!
