the curti: May 2011
http://thecurti.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 30, 2011. That's what Case thinks today is. Poor guy probably thought, as he counted down the days to this holiday, that we were going to sit around playing Super Mario Bros. on Emma's DS all day. I hope he wasn't too disappointed with the 5-hour swimming extravaganza and meat-and-dessert glutton fest we ended up going to (thanks Larsens for hosting! Me: Only two and a half hours Case! Case: How many minutes is that? Case: How many milliseconds is that? Tess and the Twelve Opossums. When all ...

the curti: Wicked Awesome!
http://thecurti.blogspot.com/2012/03/wicked-awesome.html
Thursday, March 8, 2012. I can't tell you how awesome Wicked was! Emma and I had a great mommy-daughter night, thoroughly enjoying the music and story of Wicked. There were a few parts of the plot we hadn't figured out from listening to the CD, and I'm so glad we left some element of surprise. We both want to go again! We were lucky to escape unscathed from the ushers who were confiscating cameras and phones to delete photos taken inside the theatre! There it is a little closer - what is it? Which left J...

the curti: Late Night Ramblings
http://thecurti.blogspot.com/2012/03/late-night-ramblings.html
Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Can't sleep. So excited to see Wicked tomorrow night that I can't shut my mind off! Which means I'll probably be asleep in my seat at Gammage before Elphie defies gravity. Couple of thoughts . 1 Ladies. Please. Do NOT ever, EVER put on self-tanner before you go to the temple. Pretty please? It reeks and is super distracting to the person sitting next to you. Especially when the room is full and hot. Thanks! Your still-pale yet sweet-smelling seat mate. You CAN you know? OK I hav...

the curti: February 2012
http://thecurti.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 14, 2012. I am not even kidding you. Have you ever felt like you were on one of those candid camera shows? I'm walking down the aisle at the grocery store today and saw something that first made me think I was being caught on camera to see what my reaction was, and then made me wish I had a better camera on my phone. Attached to the rest of the jeans. Leaving gaping holes in the arena of the buttocks. HE WAS GOING COMMANDO. Sunday, February 12, 2012. A tale of barf, burns and brilliance.

the curti: October 2010
http://thecurti.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 27, 2010. I was just teaching the twins some Spanish (OK I was teaching them how to say "chocolate milk" does that count? Tess: Now people will think we are Spanish! Case: No because we're not from China. This is clearly the result of too much Dora the Explorer and Ni Hao Kai Lan. Thank you, Nick Jr., for this excellent teaching opportunity to de-confuse my children. Friday, October 8, 2010. Emma turned TEN last week! 3 Her love for reading! Like mother like daughter! 7 She loves her f...

the curti: Reality Check : Is this my future?
http://thecurti.blogspot.com/2012/03/reality-check-is-this-my-future.html
Tuesday, March 20, 2012. Reality Check : Is this my future? Sunday wore on and his fever spiked, a few more sick stomach episodes came and went and I dutifully cleaned up after him each time. Monday, the last day of Spring Break, he still was feeling sick and began having issues on the * other end* of things. A few cleanups were necessary and were taken care of with no ceremony whatsoever. And yet my daughters noticed. Mom, I feel so sorry for you! Why do you feel sorry for me? Case is the one who's sick!

the curti: Sunday Afternoon Pastime...
http://thecurti.blogspot.com/2012/03/sunday-afternoon-pastime.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. Well, my Pintervention worked. to a degree. I'm not spending nearly the time on Pinterest. That I was before. BUT (isn't there always a but? Now I'm doing something with all those fun things I found when I was in the pinning-more-than-anyone-could-imagine phase of my addiction. For the last few weeks we have been trying out recipes from Pinterest on Sunday afternoons. Anyway, back to my Pinterest experimentation. Some of our recent Sunday afternoon goodies have included:. I'm sure...

the curti: September 2010
http://thecurti.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. The Great (Cricket) Escape. This week, after my Petsmart run to purchase 14 crickets on Monday, we have seen an unusually high number of crickets roaming the house. I thought it was time to call the bug guy to get an extra treatment. Then I thought to look at the cricket habitat. It SHOULD have been crawling with 14 crickets. There were two left. They're too dumb to know better than to drown in their water dish. But apparently they pulled one over on me and busted out. This ...

the curti: January 2011
http://thecurti.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. They got tons of great presents (including Leapsters from G&G Stastny! BUT the best part of the day for Case wasn't the presents. He was sick and "got to" stay home from church. In his eyes this was the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER! Keeping with tradition, here are five things I love about each of them:. 1 She loves to have her back tickled and often nuzzles up to me on the couch asking for a back tickle. 3 When she tries to be grown up and tells me "Dora is for babies". On Veteran's Day ...

the curti: Baptism by fire
http://thecurti.blogspot.com/2012/05/baptism-by-fire.html
Wednesday, May 23, 2012. Our scripture study this morning was in 3 Nephi where Christ is talking about being baptized of water, and then of fire and the Holy Ghost. Emma, smart aleck that she is, piped in:. Wouldn't it make more sense to do the fire first, THEN the water? Which then sparked a discussion about baptism by immersion that put it in a whole new perspective for me. I mean, why wouldn't you think that if someone goes into the water to have their sins washed away, and then someone else. And my f...
