Leading Up to the Big Day

The boys birthday is tomorrow! I'm cleaning the pics off the cameras and charging all the camera batteries. Not that we're having a huge party. We're actually not. Tomorrow on their birthday, we're really just going to VaLa (the vineyard near the house), listening to our friends play in their jazz trio there and then going back to the piano players house for a barbeque. I just want to enjoy some peace on their birthday. I worked hard this time last year to bring them into this world. Now I just want to enjoy my time with them. Sunday we're going to my in-laws for our usual barbeque we have every year. We never barbeque on the holiday itself, but the day before, so we don't have to drive home from NJ on Monday. We're going to have cake for the boys on both days. I'm also hoping to make some other good food for the weekend of hanging out.

So here's some pics I cleaned off since the last ones I've taken. Liam loves to wave at people. Here he is sitting in Phoebe's little red wagon.



Here Liam is again smiling, waving and looking all cute. What a multi-tasker!



Here's his brother Tommy eating the camera lens cap



Here's Tommy now sitting in the little red wagon.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni
