• 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…

  • New favorite thing in our house.

    Will’s favorite new thing to do around here is cut with scissors. Cut everything! I just couldn’t resist taking the shot of his chubby little fingers and hands today while he was doing a masterpiece.

  • Potty time.

  • A picnic.

    After school we came home and the boys wanted to make a tent. They actually do have a tent popped in our front living room that’s been there for weeks but they wanted something more grand. So, I helped them use our big blanket and we extended the “tent” feature…

  • A {small} splurge.

    Today I finally unloaded that Nordstrom gift card I received back on Christmas and boy, did it feel good! It was a nice enough treat just to get out and go to the mall alone, let alone actually buying something fantastic. David came home this afternoon and after he said…

  • Spring concert.

    Nathan performed beautifully (as did all of the kids) for their spring group concert yesterday afternoon. I absolutely love listening to the kids play at the recitals and concerts. The kids are fabulous and their hard work really shows as they play each piece. I seriously don’t think Ms. Jean,…
