What a day!

This morning started out like many others: Shredding, shower, breakfast, reminding the boys 8 times to go upstairs to get dressed, reminding the boys 5 times to put their shoes on, getting out the door to take Noah to school. I did not say “frantically” getting out the door to take Noah to school because […]

You Capture: Expression

It’s Thursday again, so it’s time for You Capture, hosted by Beth over at I Should Be Folding Laundry. I forgot about it until today, so I grabbed my camera as Noah and I went for a walk after dinner (Caden and Andy didn’t get to come because Caden was taking too […]

Brothers

Today, while I was at work, it was boys’ day around here. They went to Menards, played outside, and ate mac n’ cheese. Caden also decided to try a bite of Noah.

Look closely…

A not-so-accurate recreation of the incident:

Now, for the most part, since I’ve been home, they’ve been pretty […]

Random thoughts

So I’m laying here on the sofa, just thinking about some things. Here they are:

Dancing with the Stars *My boys like to watch this with me. I’m often jealous of (almost) every single friend of mine because they have at least one girl. But when my boys get excited about watching “American Idol” or […]

I Heart Faces: Reflection

I’ve used this picture before for a You Capture assignment, and I love it so much I decided to use it to enter another I Heart Faces photo challenge.

Wish me luck!

Madison Fun

We had tickets for the Badger Band spring concert last night, so Andy took yesterday and today off of work, and we made a mini-vacation out of it.

We left yesterday around 2:30, drove to the west side of Madison, checked into our hotel, then headed downtown to do some shopping before dinner and the […]

Easter at our house

We had a nice Easter today. I got up early to Shred, then had to keep the boys from coming downstairs too early! Once we allowed them to come down, they were excited to find their baskets of goodies.

Then they hunted for eggs in our living room. Note to self: it’s best to […]

You Capture: Week Seven-Fun

I’m back with my weekly assignment from Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry. The theme was “fun.” We’ve had plenty of fun around here, but I don’t always capture it on camera. Today I was trying to figure out what I could do. My friend, Sandy, came over and we took […]

Weigh-in Wednesday and Shredding Day 3

Alternate post title: “Saj and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day”

Let me preface this by saying that there were some definite highlights to today, but they’re being overshadowed by the lowlights. Let’s start with the positive: * It’s sunny and in the low 50’s-a lovely spring day in southeastern Wisconsin * My dear, […]

Card sharks

Lately, Noah has been playing Crazy Eights with Andy pretty much every day. It started with Uno at Andy’s parents’ house, but since we don’t have Uno cards (until Easter, wink, wink), Andy and Noah play Crazy Eights. It’s quite fun, and Noah’s gotten pretty good at it.

The other night, Caden wanted to play, […]
