Valentine’s Day was great around here! David and the boys came home with the cutest little gift for me – each of them had gotten a sweet card and then a there was a little stuffed bear with a balloon and chocolates all wrapped up in one! Nathan and Will enjoyed opening their countdown mailbox…

Nathan and Will are totally into David’s iPhone. He’s had it for a few months now and the kids enjoy watching all kinds of fun videos and playing games on the iPhone. In fact, the other day Nathan came home from preschool and asked, “where’s Dad’s iPhone?” Nevermind where his Dad actually was. No, he…

Nathan had a great Valentine’s party today at preschool. The kids enjoyed some homemade popcorn and conversation hearts for treats. Then, they indulged in a great Valentine craft. Nathan made his for his Dad. They also had fun playing a game where they impersonated a particular animal. It was quite hilarious. I absolutely love his…

WOW! What a great birthday I’ve had! After church, mom took the kids and I out to lunch (David was working) at Elephant Bar. They brought me a strawberry sundae as my birthday treat after I had finished my lunch. But, the real treat was actually at church. Mom took Will out to the gathering…

Yesterday after coming home from church, the boys and I began a two part project for Nathan’s school Valentines. They’re really cool! First we peeled several old crayons (see, Mom, RoseArts are good for something!): Then we broke the crayons into small pieces and placed them in a heart-shaped silicone muffin pan: Then, patiently watched…

I meant to post this photo of Nathan from the other day. They were having fun with the kid’s-sized broom at the restaurant. It totally reminded me of the wicked witch from Wizard of Oz!

A few weeks ago when American Gladiators came back, David made it pretty clear he was going to be an avid watcher. I remember watching that show waaay back when and I think it’s fairly entertaning. Ironically, the show comes on each Monday night when I happen to be at my weekly church meeting. Guess…

Today has been a totally sick day today. I called in sick from being a mommy, from several work-related meetings I had scheduled, and even from cooking anything today. It started a couple of days ago when I had a slight sore throat but thought nothing of it. Will had also been up a ton…

Today after picking up N8 from preschool and having lunch, I decided to run my car through the car wash. I mean, it was like sixty-something degrees and sunny, after all, which TOTALLY put me in the mood of driving a clean car with the sunroof open. Nathan had reminded me that when he was…

Last night Nathan begged me to make him an astronaut outfit out of a Target paper bag. And, you know me – always looking for ways to reuse and recycle. Here’s the madness that ensued afterwards: Nathan’s costume was complete with a rocket blaster drawn on the back. By the end of the evening they…
