• Just plain gross.

    Ok, my little Will has the nastiest ears. This evening I was cleaning them and I used -no joke- FOUR cotton swabs to clear those suckers out! And, it’s not like I don’t clean them out often…about every three days or so, but they just build up quickly. Anyway, I…

  • Sick kiddos are no fun.

    Well, Nathan is doing a little better today.  Aside from blowing chunks while we were in line at Sweet Tomatoes, he’s been able to keep down some yogurt, banana, and Pedialyte.  I think he’s on the slow road to recovery.  He’s gotten a little more energy back this afternoon and…

  • Some Kindermusik fun.

    Will wrapped up his second semester of KM last Thursday.  Since N8 is out of school for summer, he of course came along with us.  I seized the opportunity to get some pics of Will in his class since I’d not done so before. He loves his baby bells.  He actually…

  • Krispy Kreme tour.

    Last week a group of us visited the Krispy Kreme to see how they make doughnuts.  Afterwards, they gave everyone a free one!  There were way too many kids there and as such was too crowded but it definitely was worth it for the freebie. Gotta love those sprinkles.

  • The King is missing, but it could be worse.

    The other night Nathan and I made a desperate attempt at making sure we accounted for all of his cars.  We’ve collected so many I’ve forgotten which ones we have. Anyway, we’d lined them up and classified them by color before but there were fewer then.  Can you tell what…

  • UGH! Update to the no-blogedness.

    Nathan is sick.  He must have a stomach bug.  He’s vomited twice since this afternoon and has a 101 temp.  We’re trying to keep ice chips down for a few hours and then we’ll see what the doc says.  My poor baby.

  • So freakin’ busy.

    I have tons going on so blogging has taken a backseat.  Here are some of the goings-on: enjoying my mom visiting this weekend baking yummy banana bread doing yardwork cleaning house and rearranging stuff trying to get Nathan’s busy summer schedule arranged sidewalk chalk (actually, driveway chalk) laundry, laundry, oh…

  • Everyone benefits from the Sam’s Club membership.

    Nathan has started to really get into these frequent Sam’s Club trips that have become routine for us.  Today after Will took his early afternoon nap, I corralled both boys into the car and we headed out to pick up a few essentials. It is so hard to not spend every last dime…

  • A whole new meaning to going green.

    Well, it was another fabulous day here at the MP household.  After enjoying a thoroughly filling lunch at Red Robin we took the kiddos to see Shrek the Third since Nathan’s nap schedule made us miss the sneak preview we had free passes to a few weeks ago. We actually…
