		<title>Sickie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[MonkeyBoy is feeling under the weather today.  Yesterday he spent the afternoon chasing cats at his uncle&#8217;s while the men watched football, so we aren&#8217;t sure if he&#8217;s gained a cat allergy or just come down with his first cold of the season.  There&#8217;s stuff going around, so I wouldn&#8217;t be too surprised [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Day of School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was the first day of the new school year for MonkeyBoy.  Nothing says &#8220;first day of school&#8221; like a goofy picture and a bad haircut.  I may have to take the scissors to his bangs myself, I can&#8217;t do a worse job than the &#8220;professional&#8221; that hacked on his hair last week. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rett Syndrome Stroll-a-thon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[MonkeyBoy and I will be walking in the local stroll-a-thon to raise money for Rett Syndrome Research later this month.  One of his little friends has been diagnosed with Rett Syndrome &#8211; it&#8217;s a neuromuscular disease in the autism spectrum that affects mainly girls.  The girls appear healthy for the first 6 to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Busy Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The day started out with a morning birthday pool party for a princess-loving friend of MonkeyBoy.  

I&#8217;m trying to make all our gifts this year, but ended up buying a few things for this sweet recipient.  She received a do-it-herself sticker making kit, complete with stamped images of her beloved Disney Princesses that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Transitions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lots and lots happening around here, as evidenced by the silence on the blog as of late.  I am transitioning out of the traditional workforce with the defunding and closing of my department this month.   MonkeyBoy will start back to preschool in a few weeks, and several of his little friends will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baking Cakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two of MonkeyBoy&#8217;s friends celebrated their birthday this weekend and their mom asked me to make a cake for the occasion.  The party was at an area sprinkler park and had a beachy theme.  I was excited to be able to pull out my ball cake pan and came up with a beach [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cultural Confusion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[MonkeyBoy had his six month leg follow-up appointment on Friday and it ended up running long, especially since I&#8217;d forgotten to take him (I blame pregnancy brain!).  Luckily, I called when I remembered (15 minutes late) and they were able to still work us in.  His leg was declared &#8220;healed, looks as if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Playing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a few quick snapshots from the week.  I&#8217;m working on Craigslisting things today in preparation for the big room swap of 2010.  We&#8217;re moving four rooms around as we get ready for our new family member and I&#8217;d like to have it done this month so that there&#8217;s plenty of time between [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cookies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m finally feeling better, pregnancy-wise.  You can tell I&#8217;m feeling better because I&#8217;m in the kitchen again.  For the first 16 weeks or so of pregnancy, I couldn&#8217;t stand to be around food.  We ate out a lot, because I could eat if someone would set the cooked food down in front [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dollar Dress-Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I usually avoid the Dollar Spot at Target since we have plenty of toys and don&#8217;t need a bunch of cheap junk around.  But yesterday I decided to spin through on a whim and discovered a plethora of dress-up costumes. MonkeyBoy&#8217;s imagination is really flourishing these days and I thought he might enjoy some [...]]]></description>
