Past Lives

The blog has mostly turned into a forum for posting cute kid pictures (which I will do in a bit)...but just out of curiousity, do you believe in reincarnation or past lives?

I often get "vibes" about certain things and so here is what I have concluded:

1)In a former life/soul, I lived near the water....
2)In my former past, I had something to do with bridges. Built them, designed them, who knows.

3)I think you can look at a new baby and determine if they are an old soul or a new soul. Some just seem wise when they are born.

Sorry, that wasn't too in-depth, just some random thoughts.

One more thought for you, what do you think about nudist Olympics? I guess back in the day, the Olympics were done sans clothing. Rumor has it there is a group here in the US trying to get the Olympics to go back to the nudy days. Can you imagine? Gymnastics? Track and Field? I suppose the ratings would go up but I suppose you would have to have cable to actually watch them.

That would be my belt wrapped around the monkey--twice. No more organic food for her--she is going on a strict diet of peanut butter and Twinkies. Gotta put some fat on that kid.

"So Kendall, what did you think of that food mom made us tonight? Yeah, me too, I thought it was icksy."

This was the reason digital cameras was invented. You can take 48 pictures and still none of them has either child smiling and looking at the camera.

My hunt for the red bellied infant.

Why didn't I think of that? Cute kid's shirts

Ka-Koons. Heaven. Sunny Days.

If you get the chance, head to the Reading Terminal Market in Downtown Philadelphia. Seriously. 70 Varieties of food = Heaven = Yummy.

No really, the best part is the Amish section. I tell you what, those Amish know how to bake. And the girls that work there are just amazingly beautiful. I had cinnamon rolls and homemade oatmeal cream pies. I had to resist the buttermilk and shoo-fly pies. Please spread some of my ashes in the Reading Terminal Market.

The only bummer part of going to Philadelphia is that next weekend is the Olympic Gymnastic trials and I am going to miss them. Who says Stem Cells and balance beams don't mix?

A couple of pictures of carbohydrate heaven.

Some people call them cinnamon rolls, I call them crack cocaine.

Now on to the Ka-Koons. So you know, kids say the darndest things. Juice boxes are sandboxes at our house. And well, Raccoons are Ka-Koons. So we are sitting there, I am busy feeding the monkeys and Mason just starts SQUEALLLLING.....out on the deck is mama Ka-Koon....fat as can be circling our grill. So I watch her for a bit and then off she goes. A few minutes go by and what do I see, two baby Ka-koons hissing at me (nice little rhyme). Up in the tree, at arms reach, is this sad little duo. Who says nothing exciting happens in the suburbs??

Check out the kiddos at the park......

Life is good.

Shake your booty

Sorry, it has been awhile. Busy times....

I promise after this next week, I will add more pictures/videos/content. I am off to Philadelphia for some nerd love...for the International Stem Cell Research meetings....many of the great minds of our generation will be there (seriously.)

Fantasy Career League

Happy Memorial Weekend!! It is the first 3 day weekend we have had since New Years--whoop whoop!! And Little Miss Murphy will be arriving soon...what fun times.

I was cleaning in the kitchen and I started thinking about all the careers/jobs I would love to have. (At this point in my blogging career you are all probably getting sick of my fantasies. Just know, that I really do have a fabulous life. I have the two greatest kids, a fantastic husband, I work for a successful company and I have a great family (in-laws, steps, wholes, psuedo, blood, you name it.) But I do like to dream big.....so come along with me and please do not hesitate to tell me what careers you would like to try out.

1)I would love to own a candy/sweet/pastry shop.

2)FBI Agent/CIA Agent/Operative/Undercover-Type.

3)Children's book writer (just you wait for my book "Sweaty Betty" to arrive at your local Barnes and Nobel.)

4)Sommelier

5)Travel Critic

6)Restaurant Critic

7)River-Runner

8)Art Critic

9)Nurse

10)Ice Cream Tester

11)Barista

12)IP Lawyer

13)Gardener

14)Professional Sand Volleyball Player

15)Photographer (on location in exotic places)

16)Professional Magazine, Book and Cookbook reader (is there such a thing)

17)Graydon Carter's assistant

18)Clothing/Jewelry/Shoe/Handbag designer

19)The person that goes and listens to new bands and "discovers" them.

I am sure there will be more to come.

Some of you saw this already, but it is pretty cute. I would include more pictures of the other monkey but she is a toddler and hence, she is quite mobile now and not interested in sitting for pictures.

Cute pictures so grandparents and aunts and uncles and friends will want to come visit

New Holiday at the Sebasky House

We call it the HASSY BERSDAY. HASSY BERSDAY is this new imaginary holiday that Miss KQ invented in her head. Basically it entails her asking me (everyday) "Presents? Kendall's Hassy Bersday"---then at dinner, when she is eating her chicken and veggies and drinking her sicky cup (that's what we call it), she picks up her plate and starts swaying it back and forth and sings "Hassy Bersday to Me, Hassy Bersday to Me, Hassy Bersday dear Kendall, Hassy Bersday to me" Big news on the home front: Josh discovered Mason this morning standing up in his crib. Time to lower the mattress. Happy May Day!!

Spring Chickens

Mason informed us this week that he plans to become a member of Hell's Angels.

It was so wierd, the house was perfectly clean and in 10 minutes, some strange, tornado-like thing went through the room and destroyed the house. Come to find out, insurance does not cover such accidents.

More pictures of our elusive dust bunny.

Can you say: DROOL MONSTER?

I am officially old

You know you are old, when music groups/tv shows and etc.....are getting back together or being remade. George Michael and NKOTB are going on tour. AND "Beverly Hills 90210" is being remade. Sadly, the tickets for George Michael start at $154....you would have to be on crack to pay that.

Quote of the Morning

From Miss Kendall, "I like candy, in my mouth."

Finally some research that applies to my life

Men Create More Housework for Women Quoted from the article: Having a husband creates an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, tying the knot saves an hour of weekly chores. He points out individual differences among households exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. "And the situation gets worse for women when they have children," Stafford said.
