• Free stuff is good.

    Today I am thankful for free stuff…..especially food!! I was in Target today with the boys perusing the dollar section for items that N8’s preschool is collecting to send off to less fortunate kids for Christmas, when a friendly Target employee stopped me and asked if I’d like a sample.…

  • ‘Thanks Today’ posts resurrected

    I am attempting to do my ‘Thanks Today’ posts like I did last year so here goes…… today I am thankful for Bertolli Spinach & Ricotta Stuffed Ravioli. Nathan LOVES these!!! For those of you who are clueless, getting this kid to eat ANYTHING with the word “spinach” in it…

  • Kaboomers

    Nathan informs me that if you fall down or take a tumble at preschool, Ms. Jan says “oh, you went Kaboomers!” or she’ll simply call you a “Kaboomer”. Well, Nathan has brought that saying home. We often play a game called “Kaboomers” now and it involves randomly falling down and…

  • Mr. Strong Legs

    Will has taken to trying to get up on his legs lately. It scares the dickens out of me as I am afraid he’ll take a tumble forward but hasn’t yet. He literally props himself up and will attempt to balance on his feet but can’t quite figure out how…

  • Cookie Mission complete.

    The cookie baking activity was literally an all day event here today. After having our usual every-other-Friday playgroup over at our place on this rainy morning, I was exhausted but I had already promised Nathan we’d bake cookies. William was feeling a little under the weather so it was difficult…
