So thankful today for sibling love. This morning I decided to forego my usual gym routine and bail on my cardio kickboxing class so that the kids and I could just have some downtime and clean their playroom along with various other parts of the house. After we finished up I headed downstairs to put a few things…

I am thankful today for the violin. N has learned and grown so much since taking up the violin just last year. I'm thankful that he's got a great interest in it and that I am able to share in his learning process. His violin instructor is so patient and so thorough. I can't imagine our lessons with anyone else! I'm thankful…

N is out on a golf outing with D today and I'm excited to hear how it went. This is the first time since W's been born that N's gotten a chance to go sans his little brother. He and W went a few months ago with D and halfway through the outing he asked…

Today was the day we decided to finally get carving the mini pumpkin patch that was growing on the kitchen counter. D is a master carver and the kids enjoyed helping gut the pumpkins, paint, and even cut some. It's times like today that make me realize how blessed I am to have such a…

I love to bake. That's no secret. But, I also like hassle-free food and fun when it comes to getting the kids involved. The other day while grocery shopping, I noticed that the Pillsbury Halloween themed cookies were on sale. You know, the kind that you just break off then put on the cookie sheet…

Last week I discovered that I'd been stuffing W's 8.5 size foot into a size 7 shoe. As such, I made a mental note to go shopping for him. Then, as luck would have it, a Stride Rite 15% off coupon magically appeared in my mailbox. Score! Or, so I thought. Today as I was…

N is really enjoying his swim lessons. They're almost over for this session but in the few short weeks he's had them, I have seen such a noticeable improvement in his confidence level while he's in the water. I always knew he had the technique down, but I don't think he quite knew it. His…

My dad drove in from Austin late this afternoon for a quick visit with the kids. It's about an eleven hour drive and not a pretty one, but my dad was set on coming so I figured, who am I to argue? The drive was I am sure tiring and he'll have to turn around and drive…

Tonight while at N's group violin class, two of the moms commented on how tall N is getting. I gave them a tight-lipped smile and nod as if to agree, but truthfully, I hadn't really noticed. I am positive that he's definitely grown, but it's just crazy that I actually don't notice it all that…

Our reading habits totally go in cycles around here, as I am sure it does for most families. Right now the kids have really been digging these books: Do Stars Have Points? – N recently checked this out from his school library and D has been wonderfully reading it to him. It's over 40…
