it’s sam!

Bright, bubbly, happy, smart, responsible, fun and caring. Those are awesome attributes to have in a high school “kid,” and also in a babysitter.

miles’ halloween costume: REVEALED!

As you may have heard, John and I decided to teach ourselves how to sew this year (Thank you, You Tube) and make Miles’ Halloween costume. After much debate, John came up with the idea for an adorable little scarecrow, and we couldn’t be happier. We had some highs and lows making his costume. We…

  • MichelleOctober 22, 2009 - 8:37 am

    Wow. I am impressed with the sewing. All the seams look nice and straight and it looks perfectly made. I think sewing clothes is one of the harder things to sew. He looks adorable.

    Betsy and John… you two TOTALLY outdid yourselves!!!! It’s PERFECTO!!!!!

scary things found in backpacks

I suppose I’ll have years of finding scary things in Miles’ backpack. Today, I experienced my first. Meet Jim, Miles’ “chia Pet” he made at pre-school. He named it Jim. (I would have named it Mr. Hanky.) Jim grew enough hair to come home today, but not before he had a haircut, with scissors, as… Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

    This boy melts EVERYONES heart! I swear if he does not win the Gap Casting call I will boycott their holiday stripes…ok…maybe not that drastic but I will surely concider it:)

  • CassieOctober 21, 2009 - 9:31 am

    Jim is so weird! But Miles is, as always, adorable 🙂

  • SamanthaOctober 21, 2009 - 12:24 pm

    Hahaha! I’m a teacher and can attest to all the scary (and sometimes gross!) things in backpacks! A student recently brought me a frog she found at the bus stop, stuffed in the bottom of her backpack. Thankfully, the poor little guy lived to tell the story. So, beware of living things in backpacks. 🙂
