Today was N's first day of Pre-K and it totally rocked. It will take some time adjusting to the fact that our day has to get started a little earlier in order to get everything done that needs to be, and making sure he has lunch in time to be at school by around noon…

One of the things I've done for N every year before his first day of school is make him some sort of special treat. Last year I tried my hand at the pencil cake which turned out great. This year I opted for something a little more simple. I made cupcakes with homemade buttercream frosting…

Tonight we took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese's as a surprise before N heads to Pre-K on Tuesday. The kids had a blast. I ended up running into a friend from church so that was nice. Other than that we enjoyed the pizza, games and of course getting to turn in all of our…

I took the kids to Irish Fest today and we had such a great time. The kids got to get their faces painted, jump on bounce houses, be part of a cool concert, and eat some yummy food! They split a fresh squeezed cherry lemonade and some hot kettle corn. They also each got a…

N is getting quite excited about starting Pre-K next week. We began our countdown earlier this week with a cool countdown paper chain that N gets to take a link off of each day as we get closer. And I'm sure we'll end up having one last hurrah this Labor Day weekend before he heads of…

Today marked the first day of me taking the kids with me to the extraordinarily awesome pool at our new gym. We arrived at about 12:30 p.m. after lunch and I dropped the kids off at the very posh childcare facility. This place is a very well thought-out area that boasts a huge human jungle…

Where do I begin? Today was a super-cool day for the kids, my mom, and I. First, we started out by driving over to catch the MAX bus over to Crown Center Square. Riding the bus would've been enough excitement in and of itself. Seriously. The boys were SO, SO, SO thrilled to be riding…

N barely making it through the parking garage with a broken flip-flop! Poor thing! Mom took this pic of the kids and I on the way to our shopping excursion while I was riding squished in the back of her car! I am convinced now more than ever that I need to get myself to…
