Nathan had his party at The Little Gym and everyone had such a great time! It was a perfect rainy and gloomy day for the kids to play indoors and have fun with games and gym equipment. And of course Nathan had to have his Wiggles cake. It turned out too cute! At home we…

We took N8 to Worlds of Fun today as sort of a precursor to celebrating his birthday all weekend. Everyone had a ball, including Will. First stop was the 25 cent cotton candy. Where on EARTH can you find anything that costs 25 cents these days? You know we were all over that! N8 then…

Today was the day. You’d think that Nathan would be the nervous wreck who couldn’t sleep all night. He required, however, waking at 8:10 a.m. this morning. We were to report to preschool at 9 a.m. so I finally had to wake him up. Not a good sign. I can tell this kid may be…

Today was the last day for Nathan to be a full-time at-home kid. Starting tomorrow, he will officially be in school for the next couple of decades of his life. I am a nervous wreck. I’ve been preoccupied with it all day long. Today I hugged him a little tighter, talked and played with him…

Nathan’s latest thing is randomly shouting, “Oh! I forgot to go back to Earth!” Like this morning while he was watching me get dressed he just randomly shouted, “Oh, mommy! I forgot to go back to Earth!” So, i replied, “well, you better get back there then!” He then pretends to press a series of…

I am sure many of you will concur that Grandmas truly are lifesavers sometimes. As many of you already know, my mother has FINALLY MOVED HERE!!! WOO HOOO!! I am so happy about it! We’ll see how long I can actually keep her here! Today David called from work wondering if it was okay for…

Whew! Today was such an exhausting day already and it’s only 2:55 in the afternoon. This morning we had contractors out to finish up some work on our house so that was of course fun. Then at 11:15 N8, Will and I headed out to The Little Gym for Nathan’s free preview class. We actually…

Nathan definitely has preschool fever. He talks about going DAILY and asks if we’re going to go DAILY! He is constantly talking about Ms. Jan, his soon-to-be teacher and is all psyched up ready to go. We picked up a smorgasbord of books at the library yesterday about going to preschool and the first day…

My mom sent me this photo of myself which according to the calendar in the background was taken in June of 1991. You may remember the post involving Nathan and his Mr. Potato Head glasses. Well, now we all know that his silliness IS inherited! (Dude, what the HELL am I wearing?? Seriously though i…

This past weekend we bought Nathan a $5 doctor kit at Target. He’s been putting it to good use with mostly me as his patient. Today though, he had other plans…..poor Will! It should be noted that although it seems in the above pic that N8 simply has “medicine”, right after I snapped the photo,…
