I think I might have gotten that warmer weather that I was asking for. The kids have been able to play outside almost every day for the past week (expect for yesterday during some awful storms!). That is a much needed answer to prayer!
I’ve been dealing with two active boys indoors for months on end. [...]
We’ve had a nice weekend of relaxing and working.
Mostly my relaxing and Dan’s working. Ha!
Things that our family members have done this weekend:
* played at a friend’s house.
* read a book at the elementary school for Read Across America.
*Had a church yard sale.
*Read a lot about restaurants at Disney World.
* Booked a Disney vacation.
*Watched Up [...]
After a beautiful weekend with temps in the 60s, it snowed on Wednesday! It didn’t stick, but it did put a smile on certain children’s faces. J You can barely see the snowflakes, but they are there!
2. My fried egg t-shirts are starting to look a bit more like a flower.
I’m still not thrilled with [...]
I’m in a total blogging slump. I’ve had nothing to say for the entire month of February. So sad I’m sure. J My camera broke last month and I swear I don’t know how to blog without a picture. It’s part of my extremely visual nature. We’ve got to get a camera pronto! We’ve missed [...]
We’re still dealing with car drama around here. Totaled cars, rental cars, lost titles L, trying to figure out a car payment etc….. While it’s a major inconvenience I am trying to remind myself of all of my blessings. The poor people of Haiti would love to switch situations with me right now.
The situation in [...]
That’s my mantra. I can’t decide if I’m in denial or being positive.
I have cookies baking as I’m sitting here writing (and a mess of laundry and dishes, but we won’t talk about that). I have a work Christmas party tonight and am taking cookies and a little gift to that. It’s always a good [...]
The Christmas music is playing and L is watching Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas as we speak. Christmas spirit is alive and well at our house!
L made a Christmas countdown yesterday at school, so we’ll be using that to keep track of the days.
There’s a sweet little poem attached to the star at the top:
Little [...]
My mind is bouncing around like crazy lately! So, here are some completely random thoughts:
I think Luke has grown up this past week! He has started going potty all by himself, starting building with D3’s small Legos, and he played a Dora computer game today all by himself and scored like 200 points! How did [...]
This past Saturday was perfect pumpkin carving weather! It was cool out, so the boys and I got our pumpkin and started the jack o’ lantern.
Daniel + a knife= scary image.
He did great though, and cut an opening at top of the pumpkin.
Ignore my rusty old outdoor furniture. It really needs painting or replacing!
Ewww…..
Scooping out [...]
The Great Clean up of ‘09 is underway. At least we’re attempting a great clean up. After a week of nasty sickies, this house needs some major cleaning!
I stayed home from work yesterday and tried to make it to the top of Mount Laundry.
It was awful! I almost made it, but I’m still not quite [...]
