I am attempting to do my ‘Thanks Today’ posts like I did last year so here goes…… today I am thankful for Bertolli Spinach & Ricotta Stuffed Ravioli. Nathan LOVES these!!! For those of you who are clueless, getting this kid to eat ANYTHING with the word “spinach” in it is nearly impossible. So today…

Nathan informs me that if you fall down or take a tumble at preschool, Ms. Jan says “oh, you went Kaboomers!” or she’ll simply call you a “Kaboomer”. Well, Nathan has brought that saying home. We often play a game called “Kaboomers” now and it involves randomly falling down and acting silly. Now when Will…

Will’s first Halloween was frightfully fun-filled. We started out by going to N8’s class Halloween party this morning. Actually, the kids walked in a costume parade first. Nathan had been talking ALL morning about the parade….he LOVES parades and I think he felt especially important that HE was going to be in one! The kiddos…

Nathan, Will and I were invited to a fabulous Halloween party this morning with our friends Heidi, Liam, and Elena. We all had such a great time. Will mostly played, nursed, played again, then fell asleep although he did manage to grab onto a glass bowl filled with apple wedges on the countertop and drop…

The cookie baking activity was literally an all day event here today. After having our usual every-other-Friday playgroup over at our place on this rainy morning, I was exhausted but I had already promised Nathan we’d bake cookies. William was feeling a little under the weather so it was difficult to say the least. We…

Both boys are asleep right now so I thought I’d prepare the cookie dough that Nathan and I need for making cookies. We’re making sugar cookies and decorating them Halloween-y for tomorrow’s playgroup here and when going through my ingredients, noticed I don’t have enough margarine/butter! ARRGHH!!! I wish I had a great neighbor that…

I don’t know why but here it is 11 pm and I am SO BEAT today! It has been a long, rough day for me. I feel like I’ve been moving nonstop since 7 am! I guess it doesn’t help that I’ve only downed one meal today – lunch. I just wasn’t hungry at dinner…

On Saturday we all attended Gabe’s (Baifu – as Nathan calls him) 2nd birthday celebration. His actual birthday isn’t until the 10th of November but with Jen being due just days away from his birthday, she decided to throw him a “Boo Bash” birthday celebration instead. Originally it was going to be outdoors but since…

Today the funniest thing going on around here is the new noise William has discovered that comes from his sippy cup spout rubbing against his gums. Nathan was on the table playing with play-doh this evening while Will was in his high chair and I was (attempting to) feed him carrots. He then reached for…

We visited Johnson Farms yesterday with our church group and it was such a beautiful day to be there. Although they didn’t have the pumpkin cannon like the patch we went to with Nathan’s preschool, we all had a great time with some of the other attractions there. N8 playing the hay maze with his…
