Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2009 2:05 PM
My husband’s twitter presence has shamed me into trying twitter. I’m not sure this is a good idea as I barely blog.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2009 2:06 PM
Now I must run to get car seat install checked and prenatal massage.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2010 4:42 PM
Just got back from a misty walk outside. Calvin seemed to enjoy looking at all the green.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2011 12:44 PM
By “new” (5th gen) iPod Nano has arrived! Good thing I’m almost done with work.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2011 4:12 PM
We have more sand for the sandbox!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2011 4:12 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had fun today playing outside in the beautiful sunshine!”

2014

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2014 6:00 AM
Well, today’s an improvement. I’m mostly coherent.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2016 4:59 PM
Julian has learned how to turn over his toy bins so he can crawl up and use them to hang over the child gate.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2016 8:26 PM
I still want to know who thought a 23″ wide by 74″ deep closet was a good idea.

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2017 3:25 PM
I should have brought my knife.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2017 3:42 PM
The sink is fine. The stove is marvelous. The rest needs help.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2017 4:40 PM
I think Calvin missed the snow.

2019

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2019 7:21 AM
I am not awake.

2020

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2020 7:13 AM
In retrospect, maybe I should have realized that the bus might arrive earlier if fewer people were riding it.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2020 7:04 PM
Ok, I think we have a plan for the next two weeks. Now to see how well it works in practice.

[Context: All Seattle Public Schools closed for at least two weeks starting Thursday due to coronavirus outbreak]

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 10, 2010 9:51 AM
Calvin is down for his morning nap. Yesterday, he napped for 3 hrs. Wondering what he’ll do today.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 10, 2011 3:39 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had fun coloring at the Easel and trying to do puzzles this morning.”

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 10, 2013 7:42 AM
Ugh. I don’t believe in time changes.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 10, 2013 3:22 PM
Calvin is eating mango! (This is about as unprecedented as the stereotypical child eating broccoli or spinach.)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 10, 2013 6:42 PM
Calvin was trying to open the prototype Easter eggs I bought by cracking them like real eggs.

2014

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 10, 2014 7:43 AM
Ugh, ugh, ugh. Make the day go away. I’ve been up 2 hrs and am ready for a nap.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 10, 2015 5:10 PM
Based on the noise upstairs, I believe Calvin is diligently working on getting his room back to his preferred level of mess.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 10, 2015 5:28 PM
I’m out of curry leaves. I wonder if Julian will wait till I have a chance to visit the Indian grocery store again.

[Yes.]

2021

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 10, 2021 11:21 AM
Calvin can wear my shoes.

2022

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 10, 2022 7:38 AM
I picked up a table yesterday from Craiglist for the kitchen. We’re testing it out in the smaller oddly shaped part of the living room to see if we want a long-term table there. I’m not sure what I think yet.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2010 4:21 PM
Just came back from visiting Longview’s library.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2011 7:44 AM
Calvin was resisting eating breakfast so I took his spoon and told him I’d eat his oatmeal if he didn’t. He looked outraged and ate.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2011 4:38 PM
From daycare: “Calvin helped me re-arrange our tables this morning – he is a good little moving man!”

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2013 6:56 AM
Last night they canceled church because of the blizzard coming through. At the moment, we might have 1/4″ of snow. Maybe.

[I would like to point out for the record that this was in Colorado.]

2014

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2014 6:32 PM
A beautiful day and another park visit: https://kiesa.festing.org/wordpress/2014/03/09/shanahan-ridge-park-boulder-co/

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2015 7:08 AM
I believe 2.1 decided at 4am to become a gymnast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2015 8:02 AM
I just met one of _those_ women who, when pregnant “loved every moment of it.”

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2016 6:17 PM
Calvin has socks! He is not nearly as excited as I am.

2020

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2020 6:44 AM
Today is starting way too early.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2020 5:44 PM
Getting ready to listen to today’s Marketplace. This should be exciting.

[Marketplace episode was titled How worried should we be about COVID-19 and the economy?]

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2020 6:35 PM
Yes, I am turning into my father. I just gave my son a story problem over supper. (Though, I am allowing the use paper.)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2020 6:36 PM
In our defense, Calvin did say he wanted real world multiplication problems.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2020 7:11 PM
This is a very long story problem . . . I’m now putting Julian to bed but @calvinsdad is continuing it.

2021

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 9, 2021 8:04 AM
Julian’s first official day of school!
(Friday was orientation.)

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2010 9:03 AM
Calvinsdad has arrived at Willy’s school in India.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2010 12:55 PM
Calvin has his first pair of shoes!

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2011 8:07 AM
Calvin is making a train out of his food containers.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2011 3:52 PM
A strange dog was sniffing around in our yard so I let out our attack cats. I feel a little bad for the dog . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2011 4:12 PM
I devoutly wish our floor was clean enough to eat off of as it’s state of cleanliness doesn’t seem to matter to Calvin.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2011 5:35 PM
Well, @calvinsdad may not be fond of excess pillows on a bed but his son certainly is.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2011 6:32 PM
From daycare: “Calvin painted with red and blue paint to see what color it would make.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2011 6:32 PM
Daycare also reports that Calvin is teaching the other children how to make “trains” out of toy vehicles.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2013 7:52 AM
I went to bed a little after 8 last night and still don’t feel human this morning. It’s time like this I wish I drank coffee.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2013 8:08 AM
Random Calvin statement, “Mommy, it’s a good thing skunks don’t live in our house.” Yes, I agree.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2013 12:51 PM
Oh good, now that work is almost over, I’m starting to perk up a bit. Though, I’m still not feeling great.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2013 3:07 PM
I wish I understood what it is that compels Calvin to _talk_ about needing to go potty instead of going directly to the bathroom.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2013 8:45 PM
Calvin is ostensibly going to sleep but is really paging through _Little House in the Big Woods_ looking at the illustrations.

2014

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2014 11:43 AM
Our visit to Meadow Glen Park, before the snow: https://kiesa.festing.org/wordpress/2014/03/08/meadow-glen-park-boulder-co/

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2015 8:24 AM
I want to go back to bed.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2015 10:36 AM
I’m really not sure how much more space my body can allocate for baby.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2015 12:47 PM
Just came back from an epic shopping trip stocking up on non-baby essentials.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2015 3:16 PM
Sizing info on baby clothes still mystify me, even the second time around.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2015 5:02 PM
I spent most of the day today organizing instead of paying bills. Probably should figure out when the bill paying is going to happen.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2015 5:03 PM
On the upside, I think I’ve finally figured out infant clothing sizes.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 8, 2016 4:05 PM
I’m trying gluten-free, vegan, bread machine cornbread on the home made cycle. What could possibly go wrong?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2016 10:17 AM
The oven was being used for yogurt :) The taste was fine, the texture needed help, the oven might have been better.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 11, 2016 11:21 AM
This is the one I used: https://nurturemygut.com/vegan-gluten-free-cornbread.html/ Used the Bob flour that has garbanzos in it.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2010 6:39 PM
Calvin was extremely unhappy for the last couple of hours but is now sleeping peacefully.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2011 10:50 AM
I’m off to get an oil change for Motoko.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2011 4:28 PM
Calvin just said a spontaneous thank-you when I gave him a banana for snack :)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2011 5:49 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed lining up ALL the cars in the room to make a train!”

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2013 6:57 PM
I’m getting sick again :(

2014

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2014 9:21 AM
It’s raining in Gunbarrel and snowing in North Boulder.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2014 9:22 AM
Good thing I just happened to have Calvin’s snow clothes in the car (though I’m not sure they’ll make it out).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2014 12:23 PM
It’s been snowing the past couple of hours but just started sticking.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2014 5:47 PM
Straying from menu and having Butternut Squash Soup (https://web.archive.org/web/20140323022732/foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/butternut-squash-soup-recipe.html) and cheese bread (https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/cabot-cheddar-soda-bread-recipe)

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2015 6:24 AM
I guess that was false labor. Regular contractions for a couple of hours and then poof, they’re gone.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2015 9:07 AM
I am preemptively grumbling about the time change.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2016 2:51 PM
Julian is very sad.

2017

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2017 6:31 PM
Wow, Julian is finally getting into TV! Hopefully this will make traveling much easier.

2020

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 7, 2020 2:24 PM
I lit a fire so of course the sun came out.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2010 10:35 AM
I thought Calvin was up because he was making noises but I went in and turned on the light and he still had his eyes closed.

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2012 8:14 PM
I wonder if I’m unduly optimistic about how good our home is because I like it better than any of the homes we looked at today.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2013 8:30 PM
I’m working on migrating my blog and am ending up reviewing posts I wrote years ago.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2013 8:31 PM
I’m starting to believe that this earth would not be so populated if every new mother had a blog and thus could “remember” the 1st year.

2014

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2014 7:08 AM
I have a strong suspicion that my life would be easier if I dropped my – and went back to my maiden last name.(Still married, just no -)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2014 8:00 AM
Calvin just guessed broccoli has 3g of protein. I looked it up (raw, 1 cup chopped). He’s right.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2014 7:14 PM
I started packing up a small box for donation. Next thing I know, I have an empty closet.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2015 1:15 PM
Uncertainty drives me nuts.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2015 4:05 PM
Calvin has two teeth that are loose.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2016 5:22 PM
Julian appears to be a fan of millet and garbanzos.

2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2018 6:51 AM
Hm, today, for some inexplicable reason, I got on the Daly City BART. Fortunately, I had time to get off at Daly City and run over to the correct side for Millbrae.

2020

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2020 7:59 AM
I have added Christmas lights and stolen Julian’s lamp for the office today. I still want more light but I suppose this is sufficient for now.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2020 8:00 AM
I really miss the halogen torch days (aside for the fire hazard :) ).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2020 6:30 PM
Ok . . . I can tell the schools are taking hand washing very seriously because both my kids now have rashes on their hands. Maybe not the hand washing but that seems the most likely. We will now begin indoctrination into moisturizer.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2020 6:37 PM
Now to see if there’s been a run on Eucerin.

2022

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 6, 2022 11:54 AM
I’m stressing over trying to figure out how to do birthday parties again. Looked up how to do birthday invites which included this suggestion, “Include the name of the honoree.” So, at least I figured that part out on my own.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 6:37 AM
Maybe I shouldn’t have packed my suitcase quite so tightly. It’s a actually a little large and stuff is bouncing around.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 7:56 AM
Well, we’re packed. The Shuttle is suppose to arrive sometime between 8:35-8:50. Calvin is now eating solid food breakfast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 8:01 AM
Calvin doesn’t seem very interesting in solid food this morning.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 10:08 AM
Through security. Now in line for bagel for lunch.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 11:20 AM
Calvin’s just like his daddy, fascinated by the outside airport activity.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 12:05 PM
Our plane is late and Calvin desperately needs a nap.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 2:21 PM
Arrived but waiting for everyone else to exit first.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 4:27 PM
Visited my grandparents and now on the way to Longview.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2010 4:29 PM
Calvin only slept about 40 min on the plane but now he’s taking another short nap.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2011 7:10 AM
Calvin woke up and said “No! No! No, day!” I asked if he wanted to go back to sleep and he said “yeah” and laid back down.

2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2012 12:36 PM
This showing business is a bit nerve wracking. It’s my day off but I haven’t gotten much done except obsessing over house details.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2012 12:37 PM
We have 2 showings scheduled today and a 2nd showing scheduled for tomorrow.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2012 6:14 PM
From daycare, “Calvin loved Ms. Beth’s stories.”

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2013 5:09 PM
I have the silicone ordered for our lego mold experiment . . . Would have been cheaper to buy pre-made molds but they’re the wrong size.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2013 5:53 PM
Calvin is objecting to fettucine alfredo because he believes it should have tofu in it.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2015 7:10 AM
I think things are as ready as they are going to be at work for me to take the next 12 weeks off.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2015 7:11 AM
I’m going to keep working up till I go into labor but it’ll be lower priority stuff at this point.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2015 12:30 PM
Everything hurts from my hips up. Glad I have prenatal yoga tonight.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 12:22 PM
Julian is having an eclectic lunch of tempeh, okra, and banana. He seems to be enjoying it.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 1:07 PM
This family room is baffling me. Lovely built-ins, with window seat! but no place to put furniture.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 1:32 PM
How can Julian possibly be my child? He’s begging for his shoes to be put on.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 1:33 PM
Honestly, if there were any other 10 lbs 6 oz babies when he was delivered I’d have my doubts.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 1:35 PM
Do they make tap shoes for babies? I bet Julian would like some.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2016 8:51 PM
I think I almost have the layout for our rental figured out.

2020

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2020 7:09 PM
Since @calvinsdad and I are both going to be working from home we are out stocking up on work from home essentials. For @calvinsdad this will be granola since our house did not come with a catering service.

[This is my first COVID-19 related post.]

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 5, 2020 9:50 PM
I am trying to conjure light out of nothing and it’s not working.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 7:49 AM
I gave Calvin a whole apple to play with while he eats breakfast. He seems to understand it’s food but he’s not sure what to do with it.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 8:12 AM
I think Calvin was trying to chase the vacuum with his truck.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 8:15 AM
I’ve finished making Calvin’s breakfast for tomorrow.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 12:53 PM
I’m checked-in online and Calvin has his (required) window seat!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 2:45 PM
Signs that my staff book buys may be out of hand: the library devotes an entire courier bin to my purchases.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 4:00 PM
I failed Google’s human test 5 times. Maybe I’m an android after all?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 7:20 PM
I now have 1 GB worth of new audio books on my iPod.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2010 8:50 PM
Well, I’ve finished testing all my luggage configurations and I *think* I can manage all by myself in the airport. I hope.

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 3:26 PM
Me: Calvin, guess what we’re doing today!? Calvin (hopefully): Running! Me: Maybe, but we’re also going to mop! Calvin: No.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 3:27 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed painting with socks on his hands . . . right up his alley :)”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 4:26 PM
I wonder if one reason Calvin likes Bach so much is it’s one of the few composers whose name he can almost pronounce.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 5:01 PM
I hate it when I forget lentils take forever to cook in Colorado and I can’t rely on recipe directions.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2011 5:31 PM
I’m now wondering what part of “Lentil Croquettes” sounded easy to me . . .

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2013 11:33 AM
I made 4 phone calls today. I think I need a very big cookie. Gargantuan.

2014

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2014 8:18 AM
Our spiders have apparently decided it’s springtime.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2015 6:12 PM
Made Eggplant Pizza from this recipe book https://www.amazon.com/James-McNairs-Vegetarian-Pizza-McNair/dp/0811801004/ and Calvin’s actually eating the eggplant!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2015 6:13 PM
Also, we used the cast iron pizza pan which worked out really well.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2015 6:40 PM
I think we’re going to need another bookshelf for 2.1’s books.

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 8:53 AM
My paycheck is so much happier when I’m not paying for health insurance.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 4:13 PM
Julian just tried to put his own shoes on. It was adorable.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 4:31 PM
Chives are growing!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:03 PM
Calvin’s imagined explosion set off our smoke alarm. (????)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:03 PM
I have no idea how but he says he was imagining an explosion and the smoke alarm just went off. I see no signs of smoke and it’s now silent.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:06 PM
Just to clarify: the explosion was pretend, the smoke alarm was real.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:32 PM
Today I found hemp, coconut, soy, walnut, pistachio, coconut, quinoa, rice, cashew, and almond milk. Why no peanut milk?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 5:59 PM
Got a new yogurt flavor to try out of morbid curiosity: blackberry serrano (yes, as in the pepper).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2016 6:01 PM
Hm, Calvin made more floor mess than Julian did. Something is wrong with this picture.

2021

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 4, 2021 12:15 PM
I really miss thrift store shopping.

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 8:02 AM
Calvin had a restless night. I think it’s because he’s congested.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 8:04 AM
Calvin is trying eggplant for breakfast.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 8:47 AM
Calvin was being suspiciously quiet so I looked over and discovered he had found my iPod.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 11:29 AM
Calvin only took a 40 min nap this morning and, probably as a result, is really cranky.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 5:43 PM
Went outside after getting back from daycare so Calvin could briefly enjoy the sun.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 5:52 PM
Calvin hasn’t quite figured out that spoons are more efficient than hands for scooping.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2010 6:08 PM
From daycare: “Calvin is good at holding his bottle”

2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 3:11 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had so much fun playing with the play dough and making the animals hop.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 3:11 PM
In other news, Calvin is _extremely_ cranky. Even daycare commented on it and usually he’s happy there. I think he’s getting sick.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 3:21 PM
Opening the “sandbox” seems to have vastly improved Calvin’s mood. Note: we need more sand.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2011 6:11 PM
Calvin is insisting we need to listen to Bach during supper.

2013

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2013 11:53 AM
Calvin has been informed that in order to leave his room, he must have pants on. Calvin is staying in his room.

2015

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2015 7:15 AM
We made it to 37 weeks without any major drama!

2016

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 11:45 AM
It’s amazing the difference a couple of years makes between selling houses.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 4:48 PM
We just had our first house showing and our house isn’t even on the market yet.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 4:48 PM
Also, it turns out I can more or less get the house in showing condition in an hour by shoving everything into Ted’s empty drawers.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 4:49 PM
Now to remember where I “stored” everything.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2016 9:27 PM
Calvin appears to have decided to get dressed in his dress shirt and grey pants, for Friday school, and then sleep in them.

2019

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2019 10:06 AM
Julian is refusing to go outside because “it’s too bright”.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 3, 2019 11:32 AM
Julian just asked where our au pair was going and I said I didn’t know. He said, “Maybe she is going to a taco party!” (He’s really enjoying the Dragons Love Tacos books.)

2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Mar 2, 2010 8:50 AM
Calvin is having great run roaming all over our living/dining room with his truck.

Calvin got bit in daycare today but they reported he didn’t seem perturbed (the other child is teething).

From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed pushing around our walking toy today!”

Calvin is feeding himself with a spoon!

Of course, this increases the mess exponentially.

Oh good. Now Calvin is having fun dropping his food onto the floor.

Well, that’s odd. We all slept in our own beds last night.

However, Calvin still had company because he told me he dreamed he slept with robots.
