We're thinking of adding a sidecar for his stuffed monkeys, his pacis and blankie, you know, to complete his tough guy image.

The one thing momma seems to be good for...finding the ON switch

There must be an on switch here somewhere...

Hmm...maybe it's on the back?

Nope - where the heck is it????

Momma - HELP!!!

Wagons Ho!

Matthew figured out how to climb into his Mega Blocks wagon the other day. That made for hours of entertainment.

He even insisted that we hand him his favorite toys so that he could play with them in the wagon.

What was even more exciting was being wheeled around the kitchen by daddy.

Grandma and Grandpa bought him a real wagon for Christmas - wait until he sees this outside in the spring!!

Wishlist Wednesday - The Mindless TV Edition

If you are a Cablevision customer in the tri-state area you are probably mourning the loss of The Food Network and HGTV. I know I am. I miss Iron Chef - even Jeffrey Steingarten and his condescending criticism. I miss House Hunters - especially the episodes where the budget is somewhere near a million dollars and I get to look inside huge beautiful houses I know I will never live in.

My wish for today is for Scripps and Cablevision to cut the crap and give me back my mindless TV. I don't have much going on in my lather-rinse-repeat life right now - I need to be able to escape for a bit and watch Challenge (especially when that whack-job Stevie is a contestant) and Holmes on Homes (who I wish would visit me and my money pit!).

So, if you're like me and you miss these faces:



Go to these websites:

Click on the links to send a message to Cablevision to urge them to end this ridiculous stand-off and let us watch Iron Chef Morimoto work his magic in the kitchen and let us once again hear Sandra Rinomato tell first-time home buyers how unrealistic they are as she rolls her eyes at the camera.

It's the little things in life that make me happy and right now, I am not happy.

I think Ish reads my blog

"Taking to coloring" was on my wishlist for 2010!

Of course I could do without the temptation he still seems to have to put the crayons in his mouth. We'll work on that for 2011.

I think the trick is an audience - he has no problem coloring with his BFF cousin Alex!

Someone gets cranky when he's hungry...

Someone better make me something to eat - I'm hungry!

DADDY MOVE FASTER!!!

You're going too slow - you're making me mad!! How long does it take to make grilled cheese??!!

I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did you do??? What is this, a burnt piece??? Is this your best work??

Ok, I'll eat it this time - but you better do a better job next time or you are so fired! What are you looking at mom? You think you can't be replaced?? You better watch your step too!

We need to learn to use the timer function

Because we cannot seem to master the self-portrait.

I know it looks like we were squishing Ish here, but trust me, he was doing that to himself.

Better picture of Ish here (even though he isn't looking at the camera - but what else is new!), but my face looks like someone hit me with a frying pan.

Better picture of me and Matt, but poor Ish is getting his cheek squished.

We clearly have work to do.
