Big Brother has a healthy addiction to the Backyardigans, that annoying cheerful theme song can be heard around the house on any given day. A couple of weeks ago Dad and Big Brother were snuggled up on the couch watching an episode where apparently the Backyardigans were making pie and acting out a Samurai life. How the two go together, don't ask me, I didn't even see it. On the weekend of Little Buddy's birthday party my parents spent the night at our house and for dessert we … [Read more...]

It seems I rarely post a picture of this kid with a clean face, mainly because he never has a clean face! Years from now we will look back on our pictures of the kids when they were young and wonder what Middle Man even looked like under all that food! This is a happy Middle Man after a stop at McDonald's last week for a sundae. and yes, that's a car seat he's in, this brave Mama let her not even two year old ride in the van with a hot fudge ice cream sundae!! He looked like … [Read more...]
Stamp It Up!

A few weeks back I bought some little alphabet stamps at the dollar store, yeterday I thought we would put them to use to make a get well card for the boy's Grandpa. As it turned out, the stamp pad I knew I already had was dried up, so we used markers. I guess this way we were able to use lots of colours! My boys love to boogy down and dance and Papa taught them the term 'Rock On', so now whenever the music comes on and they are dancing Big Brother shouts out "rock on" over and over … [Read more...]

........Except Mommy of course!!! Because not only am I fun, cute and cuddly, I cook their meals and change their bums. So, I get a pass into the 'boys club'. Who else practically lived in one of these blanket forts as a kid??? My brother and I spent hours building and rebuilding forts, houses and hideaways. I just loved a cozy little corner I could crawl into or a house I could stake claim on. My guys liked it too, In fact, I think we left it up for 3 or 4 days! Even the dog started … [Read more...]

Thanks to those of you who read and responded to my first post of The Middle Place, which was about my dad. Today it's about my mother in law who I have mentioned in a few previous posts. She has been in the hospital since early October and while she was starting to do really well, has taken a turn for the worse over the weekend and is on a steady decline. It makes me feel really old to think we are going through this right now. I really didn't imagine having to lose a parent for many years to … [Read more...]

"The Middle Place is about calling home. Instinctively. Even when all the paperwork- a marriage license, a notarized deed, two birth certificates, and even seven years of tax returns- clearly indicates your an adult, but all the same, there you are, clutching the phone and thanking God that you're still somebody's daughter" The Middle Place by Kelly Corrigan There's a time in life when you are not only a child, but you have a child. You are not only have a parent, you become a … [Read more...]
