Martino Madness: Childcare while in Italy
http://martinomadness.blogspot.com/2014/03/childcare-while-in-italy.html
Childcare while in Italy. Dan and I had the wonderful opportunity to get away on a child-free vacation recently. This was our very first child-free, overnight vacation in more than 8 years. Yes, you read that right. And, yes, we are officially crazy. And well, I imagine it could push a weak soldier over the edge. A kid free vacation! 8221; And, having gammy and papa visit at the same time would be the icing on the cake. I figured Maria would be like the team captain of child duty and play, my mom was...

Martino Madness: Marco & Medicine Tricks
http://martinomadness.blogspot.com/2014/03/marco-medicine-tricks.html
Marco and Medicine Tricks. In my opinion, these are the big milestones that make things a bit easier for moms and dads everywhere. They include:. Child puts self to sleep. Getting dressed by themselves. Buckling themselves into a car seat. Taking medicine without issue. The day you can start to reason with your child, or convince them to do something because it is good for them, even if they don’t like it. (keyword = start… because I know this is a lifelong issue! 8221; and we repeated that mantra over a...

Martino Madness: Pizza, Pizza, Pizza!
http://martinomadness.blogspot.com/2014/01/pizza-pizza-pizza.html
Pizza, Pizza, Pizza! I often bring Marco to W.hole F.oods with me to pickup the delicious, thin wood fired crust pizzas. He KNOWS the pizza boxes. Right when he sees them, he’ll start yelling “Pizza, Pizza, Pizza! I’ll tell him he can have pizza as soon as we get it home and sometimes this calms/distracts him a bit. Other times, he keeps yelling “Pizza! 8221;, so I’ll end up caving and give him a little slice of pizza when we get to the car so he can enjoy it on the ride home. Such a funny little rascal!

Martino Madness: This house is ALL wrong!
http://martinomadness.blogspot.com/2014/01/this-house-is-all-wrong.html
This house is ALL wrong! Giuliana keeps telling me she does not like our new house. She says the play room is supposed to be upstairs and the kitchen is supposed to be downstairs (like our house in WA). I have to remind myself that she has lived most of her life in our WA house, even though she was born in CA, and now we're back. So crazy! So, while she seems to love being back in CA. this new house is still ALL WRONG. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Family - November 2013. Whole Heart and Soul.

Martino Madness: Qualified for Boston!!
http://martinomadness.blogspot.com/2015/01/qualified-for-boston.html
I qualified for the Boston Marathon on December 7th at the 2014 California International Marathon with a time of 3:35:43. This was a new PR (personal record) for me in the 26.2 mile distance. It was an incredible experience. I felt so strong, both physically and mentally the entire race. The result of both a lot of running preparation and a solid race day plan (the later being something totally new for me). This was my 5th full marathon, and my 2nd true attempt at qualifying for Boston. So, I yelled out ...

Martino Madness: Today's Breakfast Consumption
http://martinomadness.blogspot.com/2014/01/todays-breakfast-consumption.html
Sometimes it is important to note crazy little facts like this. Important only because I hope to someday look back and laugh about things like this. and for my kids to look back and maybe appreciate me/us and all we had done for them. Our Saturday breakfast consumption today was as follows:. 2 packs of bacon. 4 pieces of toast. This was all consumed in less than 10 minutes. No joke. . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Martino Madness: Skiing Fun!
http://martinomadness.blogspot.com/2014/01/skiing-fun.html
I took the kids skiing in the Sierra Mountains on Friday. They each brought a friend from school, and Rocco's buddy's mom joined us as well. Her name is Kelly and we get along great, have similar interests and have gone running a few times together. We put the kids in an all day private lesson. But, we ended up joining them around 2pm and kept skiing the green's with them. It was a really great day and we all had a blast. Gabby and Rocco are getting to be great little skiers.

Marco is 2.5 yrs old and skiing! Marco is quite the amazing little skier! Today was his first day hitting the slopes up in the Sierra Mountains. He loved it! He watched his older siblings snap their skis on and he didn't fight it one bit.just wanted to keep up with the rest of the crew and do exactly what they were doing. This, of course, normally being the case with this little guy. Here are two fun videos of Marco skiing:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Family - November 2013. Matteo's Dream F...
