Today's been such a whirlwind of a day. With my mom and stepdad here we've enjoyed hanging out and visiting with each other. We headed out to the Plaza so I could get some back to school shopping done for N, who will of course need new jeans for fall. Jeez, am I already saying…

I am sitting (sans kids) at the public library to pass the time before my next meeting and I am so irritated at how loud the library is! Has it been this way for a while or have I just had too many loud kids with me befeore to notice? Even the library staff are…

Although it's been rainy and gloomy all day long, it couldn't be more perfect. This morning the kids and I had a playdate at our new favorite hangout. Not only did they get some great playtime with new friends, but I got to engage in real-life conversation with other local moms! It was a win/win!…

We played a lot of Wii Fit this wiikend. Check out the lovely photo that my wonderfully photojournalistic husband managed to snap of me while trying to play a game on the Wii Fit balance board. I swear, I’ll probably break my neck one of these days, but at least the kids get a kick…

Today I took the boys for a stroll down on the Plaza. Since one of Kansas City's hot spots, I figured I needed to start acquainting them with their hometown and all that it has to offer. They really enjoyed seeing all the fountains and water everywhere. But, what we specifically went down there for was for the fourth…
