• Growing dinosaurs.

    Today the kids and I made use of some of the goodies I picked up a while back at the Target dollar spot.  They were these little capsules that you put into warm water and let sit for a few minutes until finally they turn into fun foamie dinosaurs.  The…

  • Summertime.

    Today we lived the epitome of a summer day here at the T household.  The kids and I busted out our kiddie swimming pools and wacky sprinkler thingy and I am not too proud to say that even I enjoyed a few runs through the sprinkler with the kids!  This…

  • Work perks.

    Okay, as if the cookie bouquet weren’t enough, today the gal I’ve been working with at the media/marketing firm sent me this little goodie as a thank you!  As if my kids don’t have enough computer games and movie soundtracks to keep them occupied.  They will love this little surprise, though!

  • Grammy + bubbles = smiling kids.

    Today was an exciting (and long!) day for the T household.  Of course, when does it not feel hectic around here?  After heading home from a birthday party this afternoon, the kids and I took a two-hour nap!  I have no idea why I felt the need to sleep so…

  • I love that smell.

    That's the smell of my kids, I mean.  No, not that been-playing-outside-for-only-half-an-hour-sweaty smell, but rather the smell of baby-like skin as it brushes up against the pillows in my bed.  I am constantly smelling my kids, even when I just seem to go in for the kiss on their cheeks…

  • Summer reading meets water fun.

    This morning I took the boys to the summer reading kickoff celebration at the park to mark the beginning of the summer reading season. I wish I would’ve taken my camera because there was so much great stuff going on. In addition to the boys meeting friends and playing on…

  • Buzz Lighthair.

    Today the boys got their official summer season haircut – the infamous buzz cut. They love it. I love them, but they do have damn good hair and I like it long and shaggy. But, they do get so sweaty during bedtime and just in general out in the heat…

  • All you really need is popcorn and lemonade.

    Today I ventured out and took the kids to the Turkey Creek Festival in a nearby local town. I had heard there would be lots of [free] stuff for the kids and it was also toasty and hot outside [just the way I like it], so I decided it’d be…

  • My baby is a Pre-K’er!

    Where does the time go, seriously? It feels like just yesterday I was wiping his fuzzy behind with newborn baby wipes and sponge bathing him in my bathroom sink. And here we are – today – Nathan’s last day of preschool. He’s been through the 3 year-old program, now the…
