• Distraught Chicken in Distress

    I am so excited about this chicken costume. Mr. Cuddles LOVES chickens. He is crazy about chickens. But he’s not so crazy about the costume. In fact, I think he’s afraid of it. After almost an hour of persuading, I finally got him to put the chicken coat on to…

  • Flying Fairy Princess

    Ever since I bought this princess dress on our way home from vacation, Ms. Crazy Preschooler has been wearing it every chance she can get. She borrowed the fairy wings from a friend, and uses the crown that Gramma Robbie gave her when she came to Wisconsin to visit. Today…

    The weather has been amazing the past few days. While Ms. Crazy Preschooler was at preschool on Friday I folded the two seat stroller and stuck it in the back of the van (it fits as easy as pie) and bundled up Miss Squeak. We drove to the arboretum and…
