• Hearts + Preschoolers = Fun.

    Nathan had a great Valentine’s party today at preschool. The kids enjoyed some homemade popcorn and conversation hearts for treats. Then, they indulged in a great Valentine craft. Nathan made his for his Dad. They also had fun playing a game where they impersonated a particular animal. It was quite…

  • Glory be, I’m thirty-three!

    WOW! What a great birthday I’ve had! After church, mom took the kids and I out to lunch (David was working) at Elephant Bar. They brought me a strawberry sundae as my birthday treat after I had finished my lunch. But, the real treat was actually at church. Mom took…

  • Birthday weekend in full swing.

    My mom came into town today to celebrate my birthday with me and of course, see the kiddos. I am so excited that she’s here, even if it’s just for a short visit. Of course the kids got bombarded with goodies (as if it were their birthday) the moment she…

  • Project: Valentines

    Yesterday after coming home from church, the boys and I began a two part project for Nathan’s school Valentines. They’re really cool!

  • An old favorite makes a comeback.

    A few weeks ago when American Gladiators came back, David made it pretty clear he was going to be an avid watcher. I remember watching that show waaay back when and I think it’s fairly entertaning. Ironically, the show comes on each Monday night when I happen to be at…

  • Blah!

    Today has been a totally sick day today. I called in sick from being a mommy, from several work-related meetings I had scheduled, and even from cooking anything today. It started a couple of days ago when I had a slight sore throat but thought nothing of it. Will had…

  • It was SOOO worth it, even if just for the picture.

    Today after picking up N8 from preschool and having lunch, I decided to run my car through the car wash. I mean, it was like sixty-something degrees and sunny, after all, which TOTALLY put me in the mood of driving a clean car with the sunroof open. Nathan had reminded…
