I've been spring cleaning the garage (okay, for the last 15 years, but who's counting?) and, as it turns out, I'm also a little behind on updating my kids' baby books.
This is where you ask me, "So, how far behind are you?"
Seems, my last entry was in 2002, when my youngest daughter took her first steps at 10 months-old.
Hope is turning 10 years-old, in June.
However, I started blogging in 2003 and have been consistently posting my family's milestones, since then, so, there's that, right?
[sound of crickets chirping]
Like, yesterday was my husband, Garth's (not his real name) birthday, just don't ask me which one (I quit counting sometime around 2004) since, you know, in the end, it's not the years that count, it's the mileage, right?
[welcome to cricketcon'11]
So, while Garth (not his real name) and I were out trolling our favorite garden center, yesterday (stupid rain) Hope made this birthday card for her father — HAH!
Our 12-year-old son made him this one and not only does he have his father's sense of humor (28 my left foot!) Glen also appreciates the value of money and its depreciating effects on one's bank account…DAMMIT.
My 15-year-old, however, seems to have inherited her Hungarian grandmother's affinity for making people cry…especially, on their birthday.
My 17-year-old daughter drew this brilliant caricature of her father (HAH!) and, now that I blogged about it, I can reflect back and remember what my husband looks like (stupid extended banking hours) also, after uploading the pic, I just noticed that she signs her name to look like a butterfly, too.
I just love that!
"Honey, do you remember when we bought the water heater?"
In fact, I recently found myself referring back to my blog's archives for non-fluff and totally tax related purposes, only.
"Uh, no, but…wait…I blogged about it…um…okay…back in 2009!"
Too bad my husband, Garth (not his real name) didn't ask me that question, last year, right?
Stupid crickets!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one. My 5yo daughter was flipping through her scrapbook and wants to know why it stops at age 1. I’ve got a lot of work to do.

I failed baby books. I have all kinds of stuff to enter…on shreds of paper and in purse calendars and in drawers all over my house! Ugh.
