Intervention!!!

I just found myself researching minivans today . . . for the sole purpose of finding a vehicle large enough to allow me the luxury of sitting as far away as possible from my (ever sweet) Hellcats.

Any suggestions?

Chocoholics Anonymous

Lady Belle is quite possibly one of the most dainty eaters I've encountered in a while (she gets it from me)--that is, until she's confronted with chocolate (also mine).  For some reason the mere sight, smell (probably sound) of chocolate turns my mild mannered Sugar Drop into some other-worldly, half-vampire love child.  Basically she temporarily adopts the 'Finn Method' for food consumption.

PS:  I love my children so much!!

One For Every Day Of The Week

Well trembling tracks (for those Thomas fans out there)!!  I'm smitten with all the toddler girl rompers available.  I want Lady M in all of them!!  If the Universe is listening, she's size 2T and looks adorable in any color.  Now all I need are matching Band-Aids . . .

Where Have You Been?

We got iPhones a few weeks ago and I'm addicted to Words with Friends and Boggle--oh, and I've been killing it selling wine!  I'm secretly in love with my boss--she's Ah-mazing!  She  requires I sip each wine at a tasting, let's me work flex time and thinks I have the most adorable twins in the entire world.

Dave (excuse me, I must start referring to him only as 'Daddy' since Lady M started saying 'Dave' over and over again recently) has been a trooper about my wine business (of course, he gets to sample the inventory regularly so it's a win/win).  One happy bonus, the twins are getting to spend more quality time with Daddy and (secretly) I think Daddy is enjoying his new mini fan club.

This past weekend I attended my first official event as a vendor for the 4th Annual Taste of Wilmington Food & Wine event.  I enlisted the help of some wonderful friends to greet the 500+ guests on hand.  It was a crazy, fun time.

In other news, preschool ends for the summer next week and I'm currently in denial.  I would say we'll spend the summer at the beach and pool--but we've reached that magical age of defiance and irrational independence which doesn't seem to fit well with wide open spaces and deep waters.

Here's a picture of the munchkins to hold you over till my next random post.

Who Doesn't Love Grandchildren?

That's what my Grandma declared earlier this evening and she makes a very compelling case.    Her basic philosophy being parents are so busy trying to do the right thing and focused on being the best parents for their children they often miss out on the simple joys and love children can bring.  At least that's her main justification for spoiling us rotten when we were little (not complaining one bit).

On that note, I'm looking forward to becoming a grandparent (in 30 years, of course).  I plan to spoil my grandchildren R.O.T.T.E.N. and love every stinkin' minute of it!!
