Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 29, 2016 10:11 AM
We have found the Lego books at SFPL!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 29, 2016 4:11 PM
On the plane now. Got to the airport with a little less time than I would have preferred.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 29, 2016 7:38 PM
We’re on the ground.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 29, 2020 8:23 AM
It might be time to switch Anna to Linux. She’s not super happy with Windows 10.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2010 9:26 AM
I really wanted to make something decadent and sugary for breakfast but I have a sore throat so maybe I should be healthy instead :(
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2010 11:56 AM
Calvin didn’t want to go down for a nap this morning but ended up sleeping more than 1 1/2 hr.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2010 6:15 PM
Went to Target and acquired bowls that suction to Calvin’s highchair.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2011 11:06 AM
Mantra when calling tech support, “I will jump through hoops, I will jump through hoops” (as long as you actually fix my problem).
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2011 11:58 AM
Well, the good news is I already thought of everything tech support told me to try. At least I did my due diligence.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2011 2:03 PM
Well, I think I have my Sony Walkman working as well as it’s going to. Forgot that it didn’t have a bookmark feature :(
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2013 3:44 PM
Oh, today is _Thursday_. I keep thinking it’s Friday.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2013 4:06 PM
Calvin can both pause and restart his video now. I’m a little surprised it took him this long.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2013 11:20 PM
It just seems so wrong when @calvinsda goes to bed before I do.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2013 11:20 PM
I have finished my project for the night so will be crashing soon.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2015 9:46 AM
Infant car seat has been installed and officially checked.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2015 9:47 AM
Of course, the recommendations have changed since Calvin was born.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2015 10:21 AM
I feel like I’m ready for bed again . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2015 5:35 PM
Baby stuff blog post: https://kiesa.festing.org/wordpress/2015/02/28/more-baby/ Includes picture of nursery area in our bedroom.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2020 6:17 AM
One of the first things I did when @calvinsdad left was fully close his closet doors. I just found one ajar which implies we’re haunted as that’s not something I did.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2020 6:18 AM
I suppose the other explanation might be that the kids were playing hide and seek yesterday and I didn’t notice till just now.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2020 7:04 AM
I was planning to work from home today but I may not have enough Kleenex.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 28, 2020 3:43 PM
The trees are so pretty!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2010 7:30 AM
Calvin woke up around 6:30 today. He seems less than enthusiastic about eating solid food this morning.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2010 1:21 PM
It was a good thing Calvin stayed home today as doing slides for praise music was quite chaotic.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2010 9:28 PM
Calvin’s very unhappy. Unfortunately, if I go up and try to comfort him, he wakes up all the way and is even more unhappy when I leave.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2011 9:03 PM
Calvin lost my iPod a couple of months ago and I just replaced it with a Sony Walkman.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2011 9:03 PM
Still think the iPod is probably the best mp3 player out there but I’m getting annoyed with Apple.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2012 4:01 PM
I think all the painting in the interior of the house might finally be done.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2016 8:22 AM
Deep thought of the day from @calvinsdad, “Sometimes we have to do fun things that we don’t want to.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2016 8:24 AM
This was said to Calvin who is protesting a visit to a park with an allegedly very nice playground.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2016 10:14 AM
Ugh, what is it with us living in houses where past people boref holes in the floor for cables.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2016 12:51 PM
There’s a garbage disposal downstairs in the family room but not in the kitchen.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2016 12:51 PM
When I see on the lease there is a garbage disposal, I assume kitchen.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 27, 2016 3:37 PM
So far I’m really liking San Francisco. Yesterday night was cool and drizzly, felt just like WA. Today nice and sunny like CO.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2010 6:25 AM
Have to go to Greeley today so I’m up before Calvin. I forgot how good it felt to start the day with a shower.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2010 5:17 PM
Back from Greeley. Staff day was very fun but now I’m tired.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2010 6:04 PM
It looks like Calvin took almost an hour nap at daycare this morning which is better than it could have been.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2012 10:53 AM
Calvin is currently throwing a tantrum because we are not allowing him to crawl out his [2nd floor] window.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2012 12:43 PM
Calvin is taking great delight in putting tiny foam animals between my toes. It looks like he’s giving me a pedicure.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2014 6:24 PM
Calvin just asked for a second serving of broccoli. Yes, I am feeling smug.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2015 8:06 AM
Calvin appears to have reached the stage where it’s embarrassing to be kissed by mommy.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2015 1:25 PM
Diapers have arrived! Now I think we’re ready.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2015 3:45 PM
Went to work on Tuesday and someone leaned over and asked my manager if I was pregnant. At 36 weeks most people don’t have to ask.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2015 5:17 PM
That might have been an excessive amount of broccoli to eat . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2016 8:26 AM
Well, that’s random. I got pre check but Calvin did not. We both have global entry.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2016 8:28 AM
At least it wasn’t the other way around. That would have been aggravating. I think I messed up Calvin’s name (didn’t include middles).
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2016 8:28 AM
No, never mind . . . I did enter his name right. Ok. Random. Right.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2016 9:27 AM
I’m giddy at the thought of flying without an infant.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2016 11:39 AM
We’re at our gate and we appear to have a plane!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2016 12:22 PM
On the plane!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2016 5:07 PM
Our new house is adorable, quirky, and will require careful space management.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 26, 2017 1:48 PM
All the books are correctly ordered! In related news, we need more bookshelves.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2010 8:09 AM
Calvin slept in again.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2010 8:10 AM
Calvin just tore off his bib. I foresee a messy future.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2010 9:10 AM
I’ve packed up tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch for Calvin since I’m going to be in Greeley the whole day.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2010 7:08 PM
Just put Calvin down to sleep but he doesn’t seem particularly interested yet.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2010 7:08 PM
I fed him pureed spinach & eggplant lasagna for supper and he seemed to like it.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2011 8:02 PM
From daycare: “Calvin really enjoyed coloring with markers at the easel this morning.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2013 8:50 AM
Calvin has a dubious sounding cough this morning so I’m keeping him home.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2015 6:59 PM
Go bag is mostly packed.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 2:31 PM
Hm, it seems like packing for Calvin isn’t including nearly enough stuff. I wonder what I’m going to forget.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 2:35 PM
Also, I haven’t been able to fly carry-on for so long I didn’t realize my hair gel isn’t TSA compliant.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 2:35 PM
It’s 3.8 FL OZ :(
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 2:40 PM
Oh, I need to bring a sleeping bag. I guess I just check luggage after all.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 2:50 PM
I have requisition a twisty tie for my hair. I think it’s going to work . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 3:59 PM
And today Calvin learn why I don’t let him play with playdoh on the carpet.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2016 6:53 PM
Nana has arrived in Colorado!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2017 8:10 AM
We need a rosemary plant.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2020 8:15 AM
I appear to have caught something while on vacation. Even running a fever which is really unusual for me. I hope the kids don’t catch it . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2020 11:01 AM
I’m now at that stage where ibuprofen has me less achy but my eyes still hurt when I try to read or watch something. Too tired to do anything, not tired enough to sleep.
[In retrospect, I may have had COVID-19, it’s hard to say. I was never tested but I was unusually sick and had received my flu shot the prior fall. At the time we lived in Seattle and had recently returned from a vacation in Palm Springs, CA. That said, none of my family became visibly infected.]
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 25, 2021 5:26 PM
Good news! I found the recipe I was looking for. Bad news. It takes 2 hours so I don’t have time for it tonight.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 7:44 AM
Well, Calvin didn’t sleep in but neither did he get up super early.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 7:45 AM
He seems to be boycotting solid breakfast. He ate a bit of anasazi beans but flatly refused the blueberries.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 8:15 AM
I use my immersion blender with the little food processor attached so often that I’m afraid I’ll burn it out.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 10:50 AM
I’ve decided to drop one bottle from Calvin’s feeding schedule which brings up down to four 6 oz bottles.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 10:50 AM
Calvin is now eating 3 solid meals a day so I think it’s time to reduce his formula consumption.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 10:54 AM
Whew, Calvin is up! (I have a meeting this morning so I was going to have to wake him up in 5 min and I hate doing that)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 1:55 PM
Urgh! Work on my handout for staff day is going too slow.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 5:37 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed touching sand”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 5:38 PM
When I walked into daycare, the babies were all clustered around one of the staff who was reading a story to them.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 5:56 PM
Calvin had pureed sweet potatoes and raisins which he seemed to like.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 5:56 PM
I wonder if Calvin’s teeth are hurting him. He’s grouchy and chewing on everything in sight.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2010 7:01 PM
Calvin doesn’t seem ready to go to bed yet.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2011 2:57 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed painting this morning.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2011 2:57 PM
In potty training news, Calvin doesn’t appear to be going either on the potty or in his pants at daycare.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2011 2:58 PM
I’m a little worried about him holding it in but he did go as soon as we got home . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2011 8:27 PM
Calvin’s in bed and I’m listening to music, drinking tea, and soon will be reading a relaxing book.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2012 8:13 PM
From daycare yesterday, “Calvin had fun playing with the lacing cards.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2012 3:54 PM
Calvin is singing some variation of Farmer in the Dell that has firetrucks in it.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2012 3:55 PM
Now Calvin just went through the most common Jack & Jill nursery rhyme edition.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2013 3:33 PM
Calvin is trying to complain that watching a DVD helps keep his heart pumping.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2015 7:20 PM
Calvin is not convinced that the solution to the excess syrup problem is to eat over his plate.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2015 6:02 PM
I think Calvin will be overjoyed to have another person in our house to talk at.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2015 6:05 PM
I’m not sure he’s stopped talking since we got home.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2016 5:24 PM
Julian is eating blackberries and from the look of things I think he’s going to be purple for a couple of days.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2016 8:31 PM
WHY would you start elementary school an 7:50am??? Ugh.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2020 5:18 PM
Sun Dried Tomato Pesto tonight! https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/penne-with-sun-dried-tomato-pesto-recipe-1942250
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 24, 2021 2:49 PM
This popped up on my house alerts and I’m sad that it’s already pending. I’m sure it would have been very impractical but it would have been a fun house. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Santa-Cruz/157-Van-Ness-Ave-95060/home/2144583
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2010 7:47 AM
Calvin was a little restless last night but didn’t wake up till 7 again.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2010 7:59 AM
Calvin is eating teff better today. For breakfast he’s having teff mixed in with “orchard fruits”.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2010 7:59 AM
I may have pureed it better too . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2010 8:00 AM
For unknown reasons, Calvin is trying, and mostly succeeding, it tearing off his bib.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2010 8:04 AM
Now Calvin’s eating apricot peach applesauce tofu.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2010 8:47 AM
Calvin is currently enjoying babbling to himself as he pulls books off his bookshelf.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2010 7:05 PM
Calvin doesn’t want to go to sleep but is obviously sleepy.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2011 8:07 AM
From daycare yesterday: “Calvin enjoyed stacking all the buckets and bins thin morning! Also wearing them on his head!”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2011 12:23 PM
The first child product recall that officially affects us: [URL no longer works]
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2011 12:35 PM
Drawstring removal instructions step 1: “Remove child from stroller.” They neglected to tell me to also check for and remove the cat.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2011 4:13 PM
From daycare: “Calvin had lots of fun climbing on the mats with his friends.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2011 4:13 PM
Calvin also used the potty once at daycare!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2011 7:43 PM
We just got back from Pajama story time at the library. Now @calvinsdad is providing story time part 2 before bed.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2012 7:25 PM
Calvin and I just got back from an epic shopping trip.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2014 11:22 AM
Yesterday I was out weeding the yard (yes, the weeds are growing very well, thank you). Today, there’s snow on the ground.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2015 11:48 AM
Oh good, back to nausea. Why?
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2015 4:28 PM
Weird. Calvin already has both the family room and his room picked up.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2016 8:13 AM
Oh good, @PGE4Me doesn’t allow hyphens OR spaces in their sign-up form. (Ironic for a company with an ampersand.)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2016 8:15 AM
Of course, they can’t find our new address either. This is not starting auspiciously.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2016 9:11 AM
Dear random utilities, I avoid phone like the plague. If I’m calling you it’s because you’re not letting me do what I need online.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2016 4:05 PM
Julian is having a very, very sad day :(
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2016 4:53 PM
The teething chart claims he’s not suppose to get anymore teeth till 13 months but I _clearly_ see a 3rd bottom one coming through.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2016 4:53 PM
This explains much. Ibuprofen has been administered.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2016 4:57 PM
Oh, this chart seems more Julian’s speed: https://t.co/PHR4t22eRK
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2016 4:57 PM
Both our kids are teething at the same time. Calvin’s experience is going better.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2016 7:10 PM
Ok . . . time to delve into school selection craziness again.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2019 11:06 AM
Because Julian doesn’t know anyone else on the playground, he’s making me do stuff with him.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2019 11:22 AM
I applaud Legoland’s foresight. (Though, I did bring my own.)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2019 11:55 AM
We have escaped the playground and moved on to LEGO horses.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2019 2:24 PM
Julian, “I’m just so excited!”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 23, 2019 2:51 PM
We have found sand!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 8:10 AM
Calvin didn’t wake up till 7 today!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 8:26 AM
Calvin ate about 1/4 cup of carrots & broccoli and 1/2 cup of apricot applesauce cottage cheese.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 9:45 AM
Calvin is playing with the _Black & White_ book. I think he’s fascinated by how the pages fold out instead of turn like a regular book.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 9:51 AM
Normally Calvin would go down for his morning nap 3 hrs after he wakes up but he’s still very chipper.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 10:20 AM
Calvin is still chipper . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 10:25 AM
Calvin is now happily playing with our vertical blinds.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 10:26 AM
Since he’s happy and apparently not sleep yet, I’m working now so I’ll still be able to exercise during his nap.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 10:47 AM
Looks like Calvin finally went down for his nap around 11.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 5:39 PM
OK, I need to add a board book limiter in HIP. It’s lovely to be able to add things to meet my personal needs :)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 5:39 PM
From daycare: “Calvin enjoyed playing with cars today!”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 5:51 PM
It turns out that Teff is too textured for Calvin . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 6:49 PM
Calvin has had his bath but seems too hyper for bed.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2010 6:59 PM
Signs that Calvin is too hyper: even 5 is scared away.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2011 7:50 AM
I hear Calvin gagging and turn around to find him determinedly shoving a spoon down his throat. At least it’s an easy fix.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2011 1:47 PM
After shredding more than 1 1/2 feet of financial docs, I now see Longmont is offering a shredding event and they even recycle the paper.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2011 2:27 PM
Money is done! Now I’m going to pick up Calvin and take him to the park in his red wagon.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2011 4:05 PM
Calvin was so enamored with his wagon that he insisted I continue pulling him instead of getting out and playing at the playground.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2011 4:06 PM
I got at least 40 min of exercise pulling the wagon :)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2012 3:29 PM
Either Calvin or I am in a grouchy mood. I’m not sure but I think it’s Calvin.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2012 6:10 PM
Calvin is eating a whole uncut apple. “Don’t cut it mommy!”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2012 6:50 PM
From daycare, “Calvin had fun making animal sounds.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2019 2019 4:14 PM
The kids got new hats and they’re very excited.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2020 12:28 PM
I have pruned the roses. No idea if they’ll actually survive the experience or not.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2022 12:54 PM
Rain!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 22, 2022 4:38 PM
I am going to take the excuse of it being slightly cooler today (though not remotely cold) and make soup.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2010 1:08 PM
Calvin ate mango pear cottage cheese and cherry sweet potato for lunch.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2010 1:09 PM
Now he’s working on stuffing cheerios in his mouth and tonguing them back out.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2010 4:50 PM
We now have enough groceries to survive a blizzard. There is no blizzard in our forecast.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2010 4:50 PM
Tried to put Calvin down for an afternoon nap which was a disaster.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2010 6:08 PM
Calvin ate at least a 1/4 cup of pureed broccoli with cheese sauce and then an entire 4 oz can of prunes & oatmeal.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2011 7:21 AM
I went to bed late so of course Calvin decided to wake up really early.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2011 9:28 AM
Both @calvinsdad and I have the day off so we’re going to try a mini-hike with Calvin.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2012 5:21 PM
I like vacations but it’s also really nice to be home again. Now if only the bags would unpack themselves.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2014 8:05 AM
So, @calvinsdad just spotted yet another Easter egg in our yard from Calvin’s birthday party almost a year ago.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2014 8:05 AM
The wind must have pushed it out of hiding.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2014 5:04 PM
Ah, no wonder this recipe didn’t seem familiar. I was suppose to make the one across the page. Oh well . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2014 6:03 PM
Ok, that might have been a wee too much chili to fry all at once. The air in the house is unbreathable.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2014 7:22 PM
If I take a nap now will I be able to wake up before morning?
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2015 7:44 AM
Well, we have a _little_ bit of snow but the roads look clear. Temp is barely at freezing.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2015 1:05 PM
Calvin was complaining all through church that he was hungry yet now we’re home he’s not very interested in lunch.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2015 1:05 PM
I suspect that’s because church had more “interesting” food than I’m offering here at home.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2015 4:54 PM
At long last the host family handbook is being handed in to my editor (@calvinsdad). It probably exemplifies my special brand of crazy.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2016 1:39 PM
I think Calvin and Julian are playing Lacrosse with my strainer and Julian’s egg shaker.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2016 2:20 PM
I’m giving up on the iPad because lack of bedtime parental controls. Now to see if Kindle Fire does any better.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2016 2:21 PM
(Yes, I know I can get apps for that, but I’m not a big fan of being connected to a random MDM server.)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2016 6:48 PM
We survived another birthday party!
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2016 7:31 PM
I can confirm that the Fire’s bedtime setting works :)
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2017 6:05 PM
My water bill is reminding me that California is in a drought . . .
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2019 3:15 PM
Julian driving at Legoland.
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 21, 2020 6:22 PM
People, do not give metal straws to young children. Thank you.

Calvin woke up early today. For breakfast he’s having Holiday Bean Soup and Cherry Peach Quinoa.

Calvin seems cranky today. Maybe he would have felt better if he slept later . . .

I was hoping to go on a walk this afternoon but work got too interesting. I guess that’s a blessing and a curse.

Yea! Crib mattress has arrived and it’s firm enough for an infant!

Last night we learned it is normal in some places to put ketchup on pizza.

Ok . . . Calvin now requires ketchup on his pizza, complaining it’s too plain otherwise.

I guess it’s good he adapts well (sometimes) to other ways to eat food?

I’m looking at elementary schools. Our attendance area school has 1 hr less per day of school (8:25-2:30).

I can get behind a later start but not so excited by an earlier pickup.

I’m getting a bit of culture shock looking into schools. “All classes at Monroe visit the library at least every other week.”
Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Feb 20, 2016 8:55 PM
Every _other_ week!!?

Julian is happily playing in the rain.
