Ten on Tuesday

1. I'm still operating in holiday mode to an extent. Translation: I feel driven to consume sugar or chocolate (preferably both) after every meal. Except breakfast. But still. Somebody help me.

2. A conversation with my preschooler:

Me: Sadie, you are such an optimist.

Sadie: I'm an octopus, all right, Mommy. 

3. I have four notebooks containing various states of scribbling. When I'm not carrying a baby, a diaper bag, a camera, or a camera bag (or all of the above), I'm carrying a notebook. So I can be organized, you know.

4. I don't seem to have that many pens, though. So all that time saved "being organized" seems to be wasted in looking for a pen. Nice.

5. I think Caleb must have read up on "walking."

That is the face of determination, no? (Or maybe he is just mesmerized by the library lights.)

6. Their new favorite book is Dinosaur vs. The Potty:

7. Mine is Alphabeasties. A thoroughly enjoyable read for font-freaks and their offspring.

8. I used to really like grocery shopping. I've decided, however, that the fun factor goes down to about -38 with a screaming baby in the shopping cart. Just one step above searching through yesterday's garbage for the phone charger.

9. This year is going to be really, really busy. 

10. You know what sounds good right now? A chocolate chip cookie. Or maybe two.

hahahaha great list. Love the picture - well actually BOTH those pictures! And I am also in holiday treat mode and I NEED help to STOP EATING all this crap!

I LOVE Alphabeasties as well Mary, and so does my 6 year-old son as well. I am a self proclaimed font-freak, I think we should get t-shirts made. :)

Oooh, Alphabeaties looks really cool. I need to take a peek when I am over next.

Sadie cracks me up. I love what she said. So funny.

And I can't believe your little guy is old enough to be walking like that. He is SO cute.
