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…

33 and counting.
We celebrated D’s birthday today so you know what that meant. CUPCAKES! We set out to find cupcakes this morning since N had a very clear picture of what kind of cupcakes he wanted for his Dad. He clearly described them as needing to be Incredible Hulk and other superhero…

Back to life.
And back to reality! The kids came back at 7:45 on Monday night and we haven't slowed down since. They have been enjoying their new rooms – bedroom and playroom – and having fun with all their old toys. Pictures of how their room turned out are forthcoming. All I…

Five things + a funny.
In this week’s edition of Five Things, I’d like to share some rather interesting (yet random) things I’ve found while cleaning out the house over the past two weeks. A lamp I’d bought about a year ago at Kohl’s for about $3 on clearance. I have NO idea why I actually bought…

What kind of blogger would I be if held out on ya’ll?

If you have not made it to a Ted's Montana Grill restaurant before, find one fast! D and I had the pleasure of dining out there this evening for an early dinner before I headed to a meeting, and we were pleasantly surprised. They have an extensive menu of great…

I owe ya’ll one.
Thank you, oh internet peeps. For someone out there is responsible for me receiving a $30 check in the mail today! I will undoubtedly be taking my wonderful husband out for a meal (yes, just the two of us) tomorrow with the lovely green cash. Apparently, one of you wise…

Eating out is fun! (again)
Are we spoiled or what? Since the kids have been on vacation in Texas, here's a partial listing of places we've frequented. There's my favorite Mexican place within a 725 mile radius and we didn't have to share our chips and salsa with the little people! We've treated ourselves to breakfast at…

My achin’ bod!
I hurt. That’s all I can say. I am so wiped out from painting all day today. D has been wonderful to work with and a huge help, but I am still pooped. We’re moving the boys’ room into a larger bedroom and repainting. I’ll have to post pics when…
