Unrelated: my hands are cold

I bought pudding today. For Daniel… for after his surgery. I also bought yogurt. I never buy this stuff, but since he won’t be able to eat normal food for a couple of days, we had to prepare. I was going to get popsicles, but the store we were at only had the gross sugar free ones, and I ask you: what is the point of a popsicle without sugar? SUGAR IS WHAT MAKES THEM GLORIOUS.

In other news: We are just a few short weeks away from the release of the 1940 US Census, and there is a huge Community Project taking place right now to digitize the Census and make it available to everyone for free.

You can help the efforts by volunteering to index images, or you can sign up to become a 1940 US Census Blog Ambassador.

Oh, and if you become a Blog Ambassador, you are eligible to win amazing prizes, and bloggers of any size and genre are welcome.  So sign up. Now. Click here.

PLUS, we have started a  group Pinterest board, Vintage 1940’s that if really cute, or you can follow along on twitter via the hashtag #1940census.

That be all.

No Pets for Us

Today I realized that I am the only person in my family that doesn't have a pet.

All of my siblings have dogs and hamster things and more dogs and stuff.

And then there is us.

With nary a pet in site.

I feel like this says something about me, I'm just not sure what.

All I know, is that I think THEY are all crazy.

Project Completed

I have FINISHED our Christmas stockings… and they are pretty much gorgeous.

And that’s all.

Dentists and stuff

We had dentist appointments today.

Older kids are nice because they can go to regular sorts of doctors and dentists instead of pediatric ones, AND you can do everything in one fell swoop.

We even made it a big deal by telling them that because they're so BIG NOW and not such whiny babies, that they get to go to the FAMILY dentist instead of the BABY dentist.

It's kinda a thing these days, because heaven forbid you tell my kid they're acting like a baby. THERE ARE NO BABIES IN THIS HOUSE, UNDERSTOOD?

And because there are no babies in this house, they get to do fun things, like go to "real" dentists.

In other unrelated news: I have made a new blog. For all my dumb cartoons. Because lots of you just want to laugh at stick figure drawings, and that's okay with me. In fact, it will be kinda fun to have everything in one place. At any rate, the new blog is called STICK YOUR MOM SAYS and this is the button:



And I will be posting all my old cartoons, and then adding new ones soonish because I have a really great story about Daniel and his haircut requests.
The end. 

President’s Day

Happy President’s Day.

We celebrated by doing nothing.

Then we made popcorn balls and smoothies.

If that’s not a perfect day, I don’t know what is.
