Slightly Manic: May 2015
http://mikeandmeagan.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 4, 2015. And then we become outnumbered. So even though we have 2 hands, 2 eyes, 2 parents, it seems perfectly normal to go ahead and have more than 2 kids. I don't know. I feel like I should have thought about the reality of 3 kids, but babies are so cute. and then they start moving before they have a real place to sleep and somehow it's been a whole 7 weeks and I have NO IDEA HOW IT BECAME MAY. I mean, really it should still be March. Haha It feels easier). Yeah, yeah. All I'm saying is...

Slightly Manic: June 2013
http://mikeandmeagan.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 13, 2013. The Week of Pure Chaos. It all started with pink eye. Beautiful, glaringly red-shot, but still stunningly blue eyes with an enormous amount of yellow goop perpetually building up and just sitting there till I, mom, took care of it. Hopefully that image will make you grateful I did not take a picture. You should also be grateful he stayed promptly at home, washing his hands every 3.5 seconds, while I washed his bed sheets every night. The things you do. Awesome, thank you. Meanwhi...

Slightly Manic: July 2013

Wednesday, July 24, 2013. And then we said "adios" to the dog. Yeah As it turns out, allergy medicine makes me the meanest person on earth (worse than pregnancy, which is scary), and then my allergies I was trying to convince myself were fake, were getting worse by the second (even on allergy medicine). And Mike and I made an executive decision it would be 10000x better to say goodbye to little Mario before Mitchell's birthday, rather than after. And this is how we drown our sorrows with food, kids".

Wednesday, February 19, 2014. How the Urgent Care became Mitchell's BFF. It was a regular Sunday, and we were at my mothers. Mitchell decided it'd be totally awesome to run super fast in the very dark basement, and try to jump (and land, presumably) on the love sac, which was right up against the huge dresser. Needless to say, it didn't end well. The child has a huge dime-size GASH that was at least 1/4" deep. I don't even think I'm exaggerating. I swear I almost saw his skull. It's apparent he does not.

Monday, May 13, 2013. Mike turns 30 (for real this time) and I decide to use the "awesome wife" skills I knew I had buried somewhere. And in return, the iphone is mine. But first, I'm going to back up 2 months, because, holy cow, time flies. I decided to sign up for Kiwi Crate. Which is like a monthly subscription for children's crafts. Includes all the supplies and my children love creating and. April's month's theme was Earth Day. We made our own paper, guys, and it was awesome. To justify this fun lit...

Friday, February 15, 2013. Mitchell's backpack is a mess. His backpack I made him 2 years ago, was awesome, then after going to school for a year, it was stained in the front from a juice spill and worn-out, but still functional. So I needed to make him another for the start of this school year. Or buy him one, but backpacks are huge. Around this time a fabric company wanted us to do a tutorial of something on their blog. With school fabric. I wanted to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. So after school we went ...

Thursday, October 17, 2013. Ali turns three, and officially declares herself a princess. It took about a week to convince her she was *only* turning three. Being the master compromiser, however, she pulled out all the stops she could manage "I be five and I eat this sammich! As if *I* could "just SAY 'YES' MOM" and make her bigger, 5, and enrolled in kindergarden. I'll pay you back and pick it up soon! Who can say no to that? And I screw up birthday cakes every. single. year. Except Mitchell'...Ali, what...

Slightly Manic: November 2013

Thursday, November 7, 2013. That one holiday with obscene amounts of candy. You know, the never-ending sugar highs. I decided that I didn't want to procrastinate halloween costumes this year. Which, haha. That's a funny joke. But a few weeks before halloween, I said to my children, who were wavering between a princess and a witch, and the other spiderman verses batman (always go with batman! Time to commit to a costume. Tell me what you want to be, and that's it! There will be no more changing! My head t...

Sunday, November 16, 2014. It's annoying having kids with opinions on what they want to be every year, mostly because I can't force them to be Mary Poppins and Bert (I mean, really, that would have been adorable). 8230;I really don't understand it either. Dance Outfit #2. Not the favorite because the pink is lacking and it doesn't have a "beautifully twirly skirt" Why did we even buy it, you ask? I thought you wanted to be Elsa". Tangled is my favorite". I thought Frozen was your favorite". Oh he's a kid...

Slightly Manic: April 2014
http://mikeandmeagan.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 24, 2014. With 3 egg hunts, I decided to nix (most) of the easter candy and go with art supplies for the children's baskets. This seemed like a good idea until they started using. Said art supplies. Mitchell drew a blue mustache on his face, and Ali still thinks the watercolors are "lips" (lipstick, that is). My "Seriously I DON'T CARE! Didn't stop him, so as he was running out the door I said, "fine. just no candy. I'm on a diet! Ahem this is what he brought home:. You're on a diet?
