Well, it was another fabulous day here at the MP household.  After enjoying a thoroughly filling lunch at Red Robin we took the kiddos to see Shrek the Third since Nathan’s nap schedule made us miss the sneak preview we had free passes to a few weeks ago. We actually hadn’t been to RR in…

Today’s been an all around great day.  After chompin’ on a quick breakfast this morning the boys and I headed out for a walk (something we’ve been doin a lot of lately) over to my friend Karen’s house (who lives just on the street behind us) to pick up a bible study book I needed…

What a great day this turned out to be.  David took me and the boys out for lunch at Outback where we actually got somewhat crappy service, but it was okay because we headed over to the mall and had this afterwards!  During lunch Will managed to throw nearly all of his cherry flavored puffs, three forks,…

The other day during lunch Nathan was making his lunch into all sorts of crazy things.  First, he came up with this, a turtle: Notice the banana as the turtle head and the toothpick Nathan managed to stick up the sandwich’s butt to function as his tail.  Do turtles even have tails? Ah, I guess…

This afternoon before heading upstairs for a nap Nathan reminded us that he needed to check his schedule.  When I finally realized that said schedule was actually a Circuit City rewards program flyer, I noticed it was sitting on the couch.  So, I casually said “hey Nathan, don’t you want to take your schedule up…

Today at Nathan’s Little Gym sports skills class they had track and field day. According to Nathan, his favorite event was the javelin throw. Anyway, the kids all had a nice time running around and gettin’ nice ‘n sweaty.  At the conclusion of class Mr. Greg gave each kiddo their very own medal.  N8 was so…

Our household splurged on a Wii system today.  Actually, I stood in line at Target at 7 a.m. and waited till they opened at 8 a.m. to actually go inside and claim my game system.  I had already intended on getting it for David either for Father’s Day or for his birthday but he had…

While Will was napping today Nathan and I decided to break out my Stack-a-pots and get them planted and growing.  We had a good time putting the pots together and planting.  Nathan of course helped with every aspect, including filling each pot with potting soil, the roots, and then watering and packing tightly. If all goes well,…

Today has been so crappy in so many ways.  Firstly, I have never been an allergy sufferer.  I NEVER had allergies when I was living in Texas and most people actually do have them there.  Must be because of my native status or whatever.  Well, for the past two days I have been so congested,…

Nathan:  “Mommy, let’s talk about my day.” Me:  “Okay, sure. What do you want to talk about?” [Nathan and I have this exchange about once a day – maybe more. Normally, however, this question is followed by “about how much I love you!”, so naturally I didn’t think his answer could get any sweeter.  I was wrong.]…
