  • This week is teacher appreciation week so don’t forget to thank your teachers. Or, your kids’ teachers. Nathan and I have been gearing up for this week all weekend long. We made a great banner to hang in the entryway of his preschool for all the teachers to enjoy. Nathan also made the sweetest picture…

  • First off, I copied part of this post title from Janelle because I am too dang tired to think of something different. After the feature on our local FOX station aired back in March, an anchor from our local NBC affiliate station here in KC contacted me about doing a story about dangerously loud noise…

  • A picnic.

    After school we came home and the boys wanted to make a tent. They actually do have a tent popped in our front living room that’s been there for weeks but they wanted something more grand. So, I helped them use our big blanket and we extended the “tent” feature out a few feet. They…

  • Spring concert.

    Nathan performed beautifully (as did all of the kids) for their spring group concert yesterday afternoon. I absolutely love listening to the kids play at the recitals and concerts. The kids are fabulous and their hard work really shows as they play each piece. I seriously don’t think Ms. Jean, the instructor, has the capacity…

  • No nap = no good.

    It’s been quite an eventful day here at the T household. First off, I took the kids to our usual Tuesday morning hangout for storytime and playing. And, well, let’s face it, another stamp on our book club card making us one step closer to a free $10 shopping spree there. No, really, I do…

  • My sweet boy.

    Nathan never fails to pick a “flower” for me when he’s outdoors and today was no exception. David took the boys to the park this afternoon after their naps were over so I could have some time at home and get dinner started. Which, by the way, I ruined by burning the rice. I think…

  • We visited a new dentist today and we ALL enjoyed ourselves! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the bright, comfortable, and clean reception area and a lovely receptionist, Holly. The waiting room features very fun seating in blue and orange, two Mac computers for the kids to play on, a neat…

  • Unbirthday.

    One of the things that Nathan is looking forward to about our Disney trip coming up later this week is the celebration of his unbirthday. A few weeks ago when were talking about our upcoming trip he mentioned that he wanted it to be his birthday when we go to Disney World. I told him…

  • Today was full of things gone weird. First off, it was supposed to be a beautiful day but as the morning got started for the T household, we all knew different. By the time Nathan was ready to leave for preschool, only the overcast was evident outside and I knew that the after school playdate…

  • We’ve been watching trailers of these movies for literally months, but today the boys got REALLY excited when they walked into the theater and saw these: “Wahll-ee…Rihce!” as Will would say it. Thanks to Daddy, we’ve all seen every imaginable Wall-E movie trailer on YouTube and know about several of the characters from the movie.…
