December 2 Today our Advent event-of-the-day was decorating Nathan’s Christmas tree in his room. He also enjoyed putting out his nativity set that he received last year. It’s become a great tradition for us. Then we all had some great fun with the reindeer antlers pretending to be Rudolph and…

I hate reruns.
Tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy was a rerun. Where in the heck did that come from? It was SO out of nowhere. I was expecting a NEW episode this week and have been sorely disappointed. What is the point in reruns anyway? If you didn’t have the sense to DVR the episode…

Four year-old’s obsession.
Nathan is OBSESSED with having a sleepover sometime soon. He’s been talking about it for weeks! At first it started out with him wanting to call his classmate, Eric, for a sleepover. Then, when I told him that his mommy might feel that he’s too young to sleepover at our…

Big State, Big Family.
The kids and I made it into Austin on Friday and are really having a great time visiting with family here. Our flight was great, including the wonderful bagels and cream cheese, XM Radio, and raisins. Upon picking us up from the airport, my dad took us to this great…

Put away dem flip-flops, peeps.
Our first snow has made it's way through Kansas City and it's not even Thanksgiving yet! It's a light dusting but nevertheless, still snow. It's been SO cold today! I had to bust out the boys' new chocolate brown winter coats while we went out today because it was so…

I finally have THAT kid.
I finally have the kid that draws on walls. William did it and I was so freakin’ pissed! He did it right in front of my eyes too while I was sitting two feet away from him. This is so huge for me because Nathan has NEVER entertained the idea,…

Some Fall fun.
I can’t believe it’s so freakin’ cold out right now when two days ago we were just outdoors enjoying crunching leaves and playing soccer out back. Nathan was insistent that I take a picture of him with his “mad face”. But for the most part we had a great time…

It’s almost time….are you ready?
Well, it’s almost time to stuff your face with turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, and who knows what else. Are you ready? I came across some pretty interesting facts about Thanksgiving Day and here’s my fave: $3.86 billion Forecast 2007 receipts to farmers from turkey sales. This exceeds…

The dog kid ate my lunch.
Somebody recently asked me how I stay so fit. Now, let me first say that I would never classify myself as ‘fit‘, but if I seem ‘fit‘ to such people, this would certainly be one of the ways that I would remain so. I was fixing lunch for the kids…

Sore throat, chills, and weakness, oh my!
I am feeling like crap today. There’s no easy way to put it. Thankfully my wonderful husband got out of bed to feed the kiddos today without hesitation. He’s been taking care of them all day long so that I could sleep. I did actually leave the house at 11…
