This morning we headed downtown to the children’s museum with our friends, Steph, Maddie, and Katie. It’s always a fun thing to do with the kids, and even more fun today was driving down all together in the minivan. The kids were crazy! And then while we were there, Caden and Katie found their buddy, […]
I’m having this overwhelming urge to clean, organize, de-clutter, get rid of old junk, and prepare for new stuff coming in. With Caden’s birthday just a short time from now, closely followed by Christmas, we will soon be having an influx of more stuff. And we’ve just been inundated with stuff from Noah’s birthday. It’s […]
Beth’s assignment was a bit of a challenge this week, which seems to be the norm lately! I guess she’s trying to get us thinking or something!
Anyway, an idea presented itself last night. I had just put the boys to bed and was settling down onto the couch to catch up […]
This past Saturday, when the temperature soared into the upper 60’s (hey, that’s really high for my neck of the woods in November!), we took the time to clean out our garage. We tossed out a bunch of broken toys, organized the toy bucket, swept out the tree worth of leaves, and got […]
I’m going out to dinner tonight with some of my girlfriends from the neighborhood (two of whom have “defected” to a nearby suburb), so Andy is in charge of dinner for the boys and himself. He decided waffles would be a good idea, and then he decided to make them from scratch. So […]
It was a big weekend around here. It’s Teacher’s Convention, so Noah had Thursday and Friday off. Caden had Friday off. Noah’s birthday was on Thursday, when we had his birthday party. We had our families over on Friday to celebrate. Then Saturday was Halloween.
Seeing as Halloween falls 8 days after my birthday […]
The timing of this challenge was perfect! We headed out to The Elegant Farmer (home of the famous Apple Pie Baked in a Paper Bag) on Sunday to do some apple picking and pumpkin selecting. It was a gorgeous day to start, but then the wind picked up and we got rained […]
Normally, I’m a pretty happy person. I’m an optimist, I try to see the good in everyone, and I smile a lot. This week has been a tough week for me. -I worked most of the day on Saturday, missing Noah’s soccer game, during which he scored a couple of goals. -Monday […]
Noah starts kindergarten tomorrow. My heart is aching. It’s the end of an era! I can’t believe he’s old enough to go to kindergarten! But he’s totally ready. Completely ready. I’m not.
Today the boys got to play at three different parks with Grandma, then this afternoon we had some time to play outside before […]
The boys’ eyes, that is. And “it” is conjunctivitis, otherwise known as pink eye.
It’s in Noah’s left eye, and Caden’s right eye. (It’s hard to see Caden’s because he was smiling, and it’s not as severe as Noah’s.) So we made our pilgrimage to the doctor (who I love, and who, thankfully, […]
