In Bloom - June 28, 2010 14:29 - By: NoisyPenguin
Dr. Pants and I used dahlias for the bouquet/boutonnière flowers in our wedding. We didn't have any sort of particular love or obsession with them beforehand, I just thought they were pretty and there was a place we could get some farm fresh dahlias the day before the wedding for a nice price, so we went with it. Of course, now they hold special meaning for us because, you know, we used them in our wedding.



A couple years ago I ordered some dahlia tubers from the The Dahlia Barn (in the same varieties we used i[more]

I may have mentioned at some point (probably in passing, probably buried in some other post, because I felt guilty about it) that in the 2 years I have had a child (and the 9 months I knew he was coming before that) I had yet to make anything for him. Well, unless you count breastmilk, because I made that for a year. A YEAR PEOPLE. I think that should count for something. Where was I? Oh right. I started thinking about things I could make for the new baby (she's coming in six weeks?!) and then felt guilty again as I remembered that I had still not made a damn thing for Mr. Poop. Child #2 should not receive handmade goods before child #1, right? So I pulled out my various crafting for kids books [more]

RSS feed - June 24, 2010 14:25 - By: PenguinBot
If you read the blog through an RSS feed (like Google Reader) you probably had a bunch of blogs from the last 1.5 months show up today. Our RSS feed went down when the rest of the site crashed in April and Dr. Pants has now fixed it. So don't worry - we won't be going crazy and posting 6 blogs a day from now on or anything. It's back to business as usual.

Happy Thursday!

P.S. Mr. Poop would like to suggest that you take some time today to seriously consider a bowl of ice cream.



(Ice cream is very serious business.)

The Wheel Show - June 23, 2010 21:14 - By: NoisyPenguin
One of Mr. Poop's favorite things to watch on TV (aside from Thomas & Friends) is "The Wheel Show," AKA Wheel of Fortune. We don't watch it every night (sometimes we're not home, sometimes we're doing something more fun than TV, and sometimes there is baseball on), but when we do he likes to find letters on the screen and clap and announce that someone has won (even when they have not).



The other night when it came on he turned to me, clapped his hands together, and cried, "Mommy! It's the Wheel Show Mommy! The Wheel Show! I love the Wheel Show!" I'm about 97% sure that Wheel of Fortune [more]

12 on the 12th - June - June 18, 2010 01:56 - By: NoisyPenguin
I missed a couple months of this due to sewing overload to prepare for shows, but on this month June 12th was all about pictures, specifically because it was the day before Mr. Poop's second birthday and the day we had his party. Here's how Mr. Poop spent the day:
