Charlie: Mom, Ava’s head is stuck in the rocking chair.
Me: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ava: I’m stuck! I’m stuck! I can’t get out! It’s not funny!
Me: No, baby. It’s not funny. Not even a little bit.
So we spent five minutes trying to extricate a four year girl’s head from the [...]

You do? You do? Awesome!
Once instructed to smirk arrogantly, Ava excelled at picture-taking.
Don’t do it. Just don’t.
I guess I could invest in some hair clips or something.
Have you met my daughter, Photogenia?
Or my husband the dock worker-slash-New England fisherman?
Only Charlie noticed the attacking sleigh horses. Only Ava was able [...]

We took a horse-drawn sleigh ride today. I could never be a farmer or a cowgirl or any other agriculturally vocationed person for one reason only: poop. That’s all I’ve got to say about that.
Otherwise, the sleigh ride was lovely, and the perfect way to start the year. We’re still hosting, [...]

Will hates Christmas. Maybe it’s my fault…our first Christmas together as a married couple was a little bit of a disaster. For some reason, I expected him to get me the Hope Diamond and a fully assembled brontosaurus dinosaur skeleton. When he didn’t deliver I kinda freaked out. I freaked out [...]

As a mother and a patron of the arts I am quite acquainted with songs featured in Disney movies. As a blogger and an overanalyzer I am intrigued by why what Disney songs may be telling us, about ourselves and our past. Somehow, I’m a little discouraged by what I’ve found.
Movie: Snow [...]

…and they’re totally insane in the membrane. My kids are whack, my husband is cookoo, and I’m…you know. Count your lucky stars my friends, I’m pretty sure the Harrisons are nuttier than you and yours.

Charlie (to Juliet): I devil stare ya!
Will: What did you say?
Charlie: I devil stared her.
Will: I [...]

I was busy with all the cleaning and preparing and what-not, so I handed her the eye-shadow and told her to do it herself. Looks good, no?
So two princesses and a Jedi Knight walk into a bar…
I’m hoping Child Services doesn’t catch on to my child-toilet-paper-wrapping-ways.
Don’t ask.
My daughter is cookoo.
Seriously…I might be taking her [...]

I don’t. And I would’ve made this a wordless Monday…but it’s too late for that, isn’t it? Here are a few pictures of my lovelies. More can be found here and here.
The last one is of Charlie on our Picasso Art Day. He’s a very clever boy.

Me: Thanks for coming in. I just wanted to go over a few things with you.
Me: Keep it snappy. I’m a busy girl.
Me: Sure. Ok. Let’s start with Charlie…
Me: Who?
Me: Charlie. Your son.
Me: The one with glasses? I didn’t know he went to [...]

And now it’s time to say goodbye to the summer.
We had a good run, me and summer 2007. But the mornings are cool and the schoolbooks are calling…it’s time to part. The short shorts and tank tops go back to the top of the closet, the sweaters and flannel pajamas come [...]
