Yvonne

I'm a stay-at-home-mom of 2 beautiful boys, married, and I enjoy scrapbooking and watching tv/movies. Came to the bay area in 1997 from NJ.

While I'm happy Mark Hamill is still acting, he has not aged well, IMO. He's not the Luke Skywalker heartthrob anymore. =(
Blame it on the motorcycle accident. His face was never the same. - Mary Carmen from iPhone
True. The rest of his body isn't the same either. Kind of OT, but I wonder if he'd been in that accident now instead of then if he'd recover better. - Yvonne
Probably better plastic surgery these days. - Mary Carmen from iPhone
"A new survey shows that the number of children that is most stressful for a mother to have is 3... especially if you had 4 when you left the house." - Seth Meyers
Achievement "Kids' Haircuts" Unlocked!
Congrats! - Anne Bouey
Thanks! There wasn't any crying at all! - Yvonne
Trying the kids' haircuts again. This time with consequences!
Good luck! - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Oh. My. God. Shaping Sound Dance Company show was amazing! If you are a fan of dance, I highly suggest seeing them when they're in your town! http://www.shapingsoundco.com/
Catching Fire... DONE!
In other news, I think I've finished 3, THREE, books this year! - Yvonne from FFHound!
Woohoo! I was disappointed in Catching Fire, but what did you think? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
I liked it! The arena sounds like it will be neat on screen. Katniss is such a teenager though. At least the other tributes aren't so immature! - Yvonne from FFHound!

Heh. "Here's some Monopoly money to repay you the funny money you paid us." - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Lol! - Yvonne from FFHound!
Going to see Shaping Sound in SF tonight! I. CANNOT. WAIT!!!!!
Got sucked into an episode of The Little Couple... Love the footage of Beijing!
Rough, rough morning with the boys. Couldn't go to weekly play date since boys were coughing too much. Decided to get them haircuts since they REALLY need them, but instead they cried and whined and were generally brats once we got there. I took away all tv, iPad, and leap pad privileges for the rest if the morning. I was livid.
The good news is that they played with toys they haven't played with in months and each took a 4 hour nap. - Yvonne from FFHound!
Oof, sorry for the rough day. I hope their coughs clear up soon. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Did Mom get a restorative nap, too? - Anne Bouey
She did! It was such a deep sleep I didn't have any idea what time it was when I woke up. =) - Yvonne from FFHound!
:) - Anne Bouey
Thanks, Stephen! Me, too. I really need Logan to go to school Wednesday for a sanity break. =) - Yvonne from FFHound!
Just tried to finish the last 20 pages of Catching Fire. Couldn't. Do. It. Too. Tired.
One downside of watching old shows on TiVo? Seeing movie previews of movies come and gone from the theaters... Bummer.
Ugh. Luke's latex patch test slide off his arm today and I can't even find the piece of latex so I can put it back on. Guess we'll have to try again next week. =(
Well, Luke is allergic to latex a bit and whatever the 2nd control was. Doing a patch test now, but without the waterproof tape on top to avoid multiple reactions. =( More results Wednesday.

Usually allergy to banana will predispose allergy to latex. - Janet:#TeamMonique
Really? That's fascinating! I'll look into that! - Yvonne from FFHound!
:( Sorry, Yvonne. Poor Luke. Are any of your relatives allergic? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
I have a 'tape' allergy which was discovered during my 1st c-section recovery. I'm pretty sure Logan has an allergy to latex also. Maybe John too, but he probably won't get tested. - Yvonne from FFHound!
It's supposed to be bananas and kiwi. Weird thing is I have zero reactions to either fruit but I can't be near latex in any form. - Gabrielle
Today isn't starting off very well... Ants decided to sneak in our back door last night, Logan woke up screaming when his alarm clock went off and I hit him with the door going in to see what was wrong, and I'm keeping him home from school since his coughing has gotten worse over the last few days. I want a do-over!
I hope the cough clears up soon and the ants depart with it. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
I definitely took care of the ants, but I can't STAND them! They came through the tiniest crack under the door. It's heavily guarded now! - Yvonne from FFHound!
Good job! - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
What I accomplished this weekend!

Built it Saturday morning. Cleared room for it, moved it, and started loading it up Saturday afternoon. Today I unloaded more stuff and made room around it so I can eventually attach the desk that goes with it. Now it's the little scrapbooking things that need to go on it. Some new organizing treasures are needed! =) - Yvonne from FFHound!
That is my favorite piece of furniture. Id it from Ikea? I have 4 of them in my house. - Mary Carmen
It IS from Ikea! I've been wanting it for YEARS but never had the space for it. I'm so happy to finally have a space to call mine! - Yvonne from FFHound!
I love it! It is so awesome. I have one in every size! - Mary Carmen
I have ikea envy, Mary! =) - Yvonne from FFHound!
Stephen reading the most awesome pirate book EVER!

Watching Prometheus. Finally! I'm loving the library. =)
Lol! Thanks, Akiva. - Yvonne from FFHound!
It's happening already. =) - Yvonne from FFHound!
It wasn't bad! Some of it was actually pretty to look at. I liked it. - Yvonne from FFHound!

YUCKY!! - Georgia
Oh, good gravy. People are weird. - Lisa | #TeamMonique
The cupcakes.......no.... - Janet:#TeamMonique
Feeling like Super Mom this morning! Last night I bathed and put both kids to bed, and this morning I emptied and loaded the dishwasher (thanks to hubby for running it last night), straightened up the backyard (play date carnage), started a load of laundry, and am now headed for a walk. Go me!
This of course in addition to my usual fees the kids, dress the kids, make lunch, and preschool drop off. =) - Yvonne from FFHound!
Very productive morning! Congrats! - Trish R

Beautiful! - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Oh I love this! :D - Hookuh Tinypants
I <3 you guys! - Tamara J.
Thanks guys! We had a super-awesome photographer. She obviously made the kids laugh! - Yvonne
Luke and Logan are getting so big. - Tamara J.
Sweet! - Anne Bouey
They ARE getting big! =( This morning they weighed in at 30 & 40 lbs! - Yvonne from FFHound!
awww you guys :-D - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
I have a crib that is free to the first person who responds and lives close enough to pick it up... I can't sell it because it's a drop-side, but it's in great shape otherwise. It's a white Pali crib manufactured in around 2002. That is all!
And by 'close enough to pick it up', I mean somewhere in or around the SF Bay Area. =) - Yvonne from FFHound!
I wonder how long the typical crib design lasts before a safety issue is identified. How did my kids ever survive the hand-me-down crib we acquired from relatives 30 years ago?! - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Seriously. How did we all survive? - Yvonne from FFHound!
My mini-victory for today: finding replacement pull-chains for the ceiling fan in brushed nickel. (the brass color was making me crazy!)
My husband asked me what my favorite Dr. Who episode is and I couldn't decide!
Blink for horror/scary factor - Yvonne
The whole River Song/Amy Pond story arc. - Yvonne
The one where The Doctor and Rose end up in different dimensions. =( - Yvonne
Too many good ones to choose from! - Yvonne
The best is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... because of reasons. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Of the recent series (2005-present), I think my favorite storyline is The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death, written by my favorite Doctor Who author, Steven Moffat. - Amit Patel
Stephen going old-school! - Yvonne from FFHound!
Dr. Who. Still awesome!

I'm so sleepy... I SHOULD be putting clothes in the dryer, but I think I'll take a quick nap before the little one wakes up.
It's 12:02 am. It's FRIDAY!
I wanted it to be Friday every morning this week! - Yvonne from FFHound!
Oh no! Kiki from The Fresh Beat Band is the latest victim on Criminal Minds!
OMG! Shout is a witness! Crazy cross-over... Wholesome kids show to serial killer show. My brain can't take it! - Yvonne
Ha, that's great. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
