oh blogger! why do you stop me from fulfilling my posting duties?!

1. i miss my autumn decorations. they smelled so good.

2. my philosophy on discipline is, just when you think you've got it figured out, you realize...you're wrong.

3. my little brother and his new wife are coming to visit. kids on high alert!

4. if duct tape, the stapler and feathers are on your work table...check under the kids bed.

5. oh wait, i forgot, 'tis just the season for making presents.

speaking of making.... here's my variation on the newspaper banner.  

the bean made the doggie as a present for his 1st birthday.
