About Me

PA, United States
For now, I work as a stay-at-home mom of three beautiful children (a boy who is 2, a girl who is 4, and a step-daughter who is 18 and currently attending American University, Go Alex!!) while trying desperately to finish my dissertation in sociology. My husband and I have been together for 10 wonderful years and he works as a software architect. While he helped me design this blog, he cannot be liable for its content. I decided to start blogging because: 1) Many of my mommy friends have blogs and I was tired feeling left out, 2) I needed a place to vent my frustrations about my graduate program and rave about my children and my husband, 3) a blog can keep our extended family (who live very far away) updated, and 4) as fellow mommy blogger once told me (thanks Patty), a blog is a historical record that can later be shared with your children.

School Fall Festival

Monday morning the kids had their annual Fall Festival. Here are some pictures from their hat parade.


I couldn't get Armani to walk fast enough to get a picture of them from the front. :(




I begged Maya to take that plastic thing from her mouth, to no avail. Oh well!

That is a bat that they painted on the side of Maya's face (which of course she would not let us wash). She had so much fun at school this day. She is still talking about the parade a week later.




Since Armani would only walk if holding my hand, I had a hard time taking his picture. Yep, this is Armani looking up at Mommy. The red marks on his face are not scratches but paint. He had just finished painting his pumpkin at school. Also, notice that he is not wearing a hat (doesn't like hats).
