just for giggles

let me rephrase that

while talking with stover boy about plans for our upcoming week, i said, 'we're taking stover baby to the doctor.' he suddently got a very somber look and said 'are we done with her?'

reunited

when stover dad and mom married, we made all the normal compromises new couples do- including compromises about food. we negotiated preferences such as: how well or rare our red meat is cooked (mom won- well done), if we have salt and pepper out on the table (mutual- not out), and if we have creamy or crunchy peanut butter. dad is not a big fan of nuts so he won and we began stocking creamy at our house. it has been creamy for 8 years with absolutely not one afterthought. until... the other day when mom took a bite of stover boy's sandwich made by a mommy friend. in that bite, we were reunited- crunchy peanut butter and me. i couldn't believe that a thousand trips to the grociery store, a million peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and three pregnancies hadn't rekindled the romance. the important thing is- we are now reunited. it's good to see you again love!

a curious accessory of the 80's

my children are enamored with visors but completely unsure about what to call them. recently stover girl inquired about what she called 'a polly pocket hat' (because that is apparently the only place she's seen one). we gave her the correct name although we haven't yet cleared up her mispronunciation. ('bisor') and just yesterday stover boy pointed to the subway cashier and said, 'i want one of those broken hats'.

...if only i'd save my snazzy emerald green one from teenage employment there.

a solid start

stover baby's been dabbling in squash and sweet potatoes this week.

courtesy of hip intercom announcements, stover girl is expanding her pop culture knowledge. 'never say never' has officially replaced her previously top-seated favorite: 'party in the u-en-say'.
