little ducklings

We had a family of canadian geese living the area behind our house (the trio fondly referred to them as duckies) and one day we were surprised to see two little babies! You can see them in-between the mom and dad in the below pic...


fruit snacks

a favorite treat for the trio are the gummy fruit snacks!


eggs in a whisky glass

Most people will know what a soft boiled egg is... but to a Schwartz child, we used the term "egg in a whisky glass"! Our mother used to make the best soft boiled eggs... and we used whisky glasses to "hold" the egg upright so that we could dip our strips of toast in the nice, goey yolk.

I made this treat for the first time for the trio last week.. and although skeptical, they did seem to enjoy it and even wanted seconds!

A-B-C's....

Do you know your A-B-C's?

We do... and we can MULTI-TASK at the same time as singing them... (how many other things can Gabby be interested in?)


ball toss

Our favorite new game is standing inside the hoop and taking balls out of the ball hopper and throwing the balls into the box..... (ok...so they cheat a little bit...)



new games

Their stay inside the hoop was short lived.

ready to ride....

Get your ride on... dude!

formal dining at casa garcia


How many fine dining restaurants do you know of that give you glasses of water, milk, and juice for breakfast?

I've been duped!

Yep.... a 2.5 year old has duped her mother. Mary soooo has my number!!!

I am sure you all will recall the "removal of the diaper" habit... and Mary knows that I know she has partaken in said activity when I see her bare hiney... so she has figured out how to trick me.

This morning, I noticed that Mary's jammy bottoms are on inside out. Hmmm...
Jen: Mary, why are your jammy bottoms on inside-out?
Mary: They are all wet
Jen: Why are they all wet?
Mary: I peed in them

Sure enough, I head over to her crib and realize that they are soaked. How can this happen if she is wearing a diaper with a maxi-pad inside to soak up the excess??? Uh, hello Mommy.... Mary had removed the diaper with the maxi insert LAST NIGHT and put her jammy bottoms back on so that you wouldn't know!

Smarty pants!
