Cute like puppies

Dinner eating contest discussion tonight (girls vs. boys):

Annie: "The girls are gonna win. I know it."

Fred: "Oh yea, why is that?"

Annie: "Cuz we're cute. You know. Like puppies. Girl puppies."

Oh lord...

Working mom blues

I just got back from 10 days in India and found out yesterday I have to go to NYC next week to speak at an investor conference. It's in place of my CEO, so it's a very good opportunity for me and I couldn't really say no. This year, the kids are with their dad for Spring Break. So between my travel, weekend custody, and Spring Break, I'm feeling very short of time with my munchkins for these 6 weeks (2 in India included). Hopefully the time will fly by, and the kiddos won't forget my name in the meantime.

I did, however, have Will's parent/teacher conference yesterday which went very well. And Team Working Moms (BTW I just came up with that on my own... We don't actually call ourselves that, but maybe we should) from Annie's kindergarten class managed to cooperatively pull off a nice class science fair experiment and display through "divide and conquer" methods.




My new favorite craft item for such projects? Sticky-back colored card stock. AWESOME.
