candy with andi

what a sweet way to start the day!

as always, i drove andi to school this morning ... he had to be in a bit early, and despite having hallowe'en in the air, he was dressed as always - sweatshirt, jeans, etc.. when pressed why he was not wearing a costume, knowing full well that his class was having a little celebration today, he whipped out a handmade NYPD badge - colorful, bright, and precise - and answered that he was going as an undercover agent ...

as we got into the car, he ecstatically informed me how much he 'loves days like today'. he told me that when it is slightly cool, and you can see your breath, and the sun is out, it is obvious that it's going to be a great day - that, in fact, you'll be 'jolly' even if something goes wrong! recess will be great because it's perfect soccer weather, there's a party at school, and everyone is going to be in a good mood ... and there will be lots of candy, one of his principal food groups!

don't you wish you were ten again?

mrs. jones - we've got a thing, goin' on ...

dear friends -

many of you know our little ones - jared, andi, & marlee (JAM) - and the kind of sticky situations they often find themselves in ...

i shall regale you with anecdotes which spring forth from the children who hath sprung forth from our loins ... sort of an airing of dirty laundry - nothing that a front loader and a bottle of high-energy tide won't take care of.

life with JAM is never boring, often titillating, and almost always hair-raising (for those of us who are not bald, hair transplanted, brazilianized, or other wise follicle-challenged) ...

stay tuned for adventures which would surely be the bane of shirley partridge's existence.

love harley
