Mama in New England

This is us, as I navigate motherhood and enjoy the amazing adventure.

We are a family of four, a cat and a dog, living outside Boston, Massachusetts. I started this blog as a way to update friends and family who are afar, but it seems to have become somewhat therapeutic & helps me laugh when I need to.

Projects

Sam has been working on projects lately.  This means that he has collected a random assortment of art-craft stuff and keeps it in a bin.  He then raids the recycling basket for more.  Everyday when he starts his project he needs his scissors, which are inevitably missing or at the bottom of the bin.  We have a conversation about the scissors which goes something like,
"Where are my scissors?"
"Did you check your bin?  And you don't need to dump it out to check it."
The bin gets dumped.  "They're not here, someone took them."
"Maybe you left them in the other room."
"Can I use your scissors?"
"No."
"I'll look for them, but I think someone took them."
This is where I have to stop what I am doing to go and find them before the whole house is turned upside down.

My two favorite projects are:

1.  Sam cutting up the puffy paint tactile letters that I spent about 2 hours creating (it's hard to write in puffy paint!) I just discovered them chopped up this morning.

 Letters before the cutting.
And after.


2.  Sam using my Victoria's Secret catalog as his project (it was in the recycling bin).  Here he is hard at work.
