And, again...

Well. Here it is--the obligatory "Hey, I've been so busy that I abandoned the blog, but here's an update on all the cool things that we've been doing instead!" post. Except that, you know what? I can't really think of much that I've been doing lately. For me, blogging simply takes a backseat to life sometimes--and that's okay! I feel twinges of blogger guilt when I happen to log on and see new entries on all of my favorite blogs, then notice that my own hasn't been updated in 10 (er, 11?) days. But, that's just how life goes. I've got a busy life, and blogging isn't always at the top of my priority list. (On the other hand, there are days when I can't wait for naptime so that I can sit down at the computer and pound out an entry or two!) I guess you could say that I've just been in a blog rut. I haven't finished Nathaniel's 2 1/2 year post, Levi's 7 month post hasn't even been started, and I've got a whole list of "Hey, I should blog about that!" ideas in my brain. Eventually, they will make their way into my little corner of cyber-world, but, until then, a bunch of pictures of my sweet boys will have to satisfy.




Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Crappy Pictures.

This post really doesn't have any other point, but to shamelessly promote someone else's blog. Have you ever heard of Crappy Pictures? It is a blog that is written and illustrated by a hilarious mom of two little boys! She shares the humor of child-rearing through {you guessed it...} crappy pictures!

I think this particular blog appeals to me for a few reasons.
A) Truly funny mom blogs are enjoyable and sometimes hard to find.
B) Crappy pictures drawn on Microsoft Paint remind me of one of my favorite gals. Back when we were in high school, we wrote notes to one another about classes, the boredom endured in those classes, and boys. (Of course, we had code names for certain boys--just in case said notes fell into the wrong hands {notedly, Nodge and Root Beer}). More often than not, the notes were illustrated with stick figure drawings. (I'm pretty sure I spent an entire semester in Driver's Ed drawing cartoons and finishing anatomy homework.)
Eventually, our drawings spilled over into our virtual communication--waay back in the old days of dial-up and AIM chatting. There wasn't a whole lot to do on the computer besides play Solitaire and draw in Paint. Thus, our own "crappy pictures" were started. And, while I haven't opened Paint in a long time, I've been enjoying Crappy Pictures for a few months now.

Her most recent entry about public toilets and recent potty-trainees had me laughing out loud! Enjoy!
