Tuesday Mumblings...

Snow again...I guess our only saving grace is that right outside our New London apartment, there is maybe an inch of snow. ooopppss, I speak too soon...the second wave has hit and it's snowing again; we didn't get much with yesterday's storm, maybe today's will be gentle as well. I'm just afraid there is nasty ice under it all since we are so close to the water. No fear for myself, I'm not planning on going out there any time soon but a commute to New Haven could be dangerous.

The birthday pictures could have been better but some little folk move very quickly...I'm lucky I got the photos I did. Yes, that is blue marker on Kieran's face...and hands. Yes, we all thought he had a washable marker; I even asked to make sure! However, he was making the best circles and even a snail type circle...we weren't about to disturb the budding genius!

Kieran is not the nurturer that Maura is; she will share with him even when she really doesn't want to, offering up to him whatever is in dispute. Kieran was NOT about to share his brand new T-ball and bat with her for anything. He was giving her the eye when he was opening his present in the photo below. It's soooooo hard being the big sibling at the birthday celebration! I remember Demian practically vibrating at Morgan's second birthday.
Sigh.

Maura got her share of treats of course. We made a necklace for her with beads that spelled out her name. Grandma Jean bought her a princess cell phone...oh yeah, she has the moves down pat. I always buy books for the kids too since I love books. The one for Kieran was called Diary of a Worm by Doreen Cronin. I just love it when I'm reading along in a children's book, not expecting much and then something just zings me out of the blue..."My older sister thinks she's so pretty. I told her that no matter how much time she spends looking in the mirror, her face will always look just like her rear end." Bahahahaha....ok so maybe I ruined the whole story for you but then again, maybe you wouldn't be buying it anyway. snort.

hhhmmm..our snow fall total accumulation has doubled in the last hour.
I loved the purple tulips and perky yellow daffodils I bought last friday for Lori's dining room table...it looked so Springlike. Snow is not springlike! hhmmm...did I mention I have a ticket to Maui for March 13th?? I'm ready.......

I seemed to have picked up a cough...Greg has had germs as did both my old roomies last week...I didn't stand a chance of coming out unscathed with all those germs. I can handle a cough, no sore throat please...I hate that.

Today will be a good day to throw on pull up pants, warm socks and shirt and putter around the apt. I still have tax stuff to finish and I could gather up some of our belongings in anticipation of moving out on Friday. Woo Woo...fun time had by all.

There, this post seems to have the right flavor of disjointedness I was striving for....Have a good day all..and enjoy!
