The witch’s evil laugh echoes through our living room as I crouch closely next to my mother on the same couch cushion. I sit paralyzed, clinging to her arm, practically sitting on her leg. I can feel my heart beating faster, like it might race right out of my chest, anticipating their arrival on the…
He’s Home!
I sit Indian style on the green shag carpet in my bedroom, choosing a pair of shoes for my only brunette Barbie, Samantha. She is secretly my favorite. I even washed her hair the other night with my Mom’s Prell. I hear the familiar voice of Tom Brokaw cascading down the hallway but I cannot…
Hey kids, come over here so I can take your picture!!
I’m trying to follow in the footsteps of the lovely Steph and take pics of my kids on the third of every month (she does the fourth since she has four kids, so that’s why I usually do the third, get it?). I don’t always post them here but I take them. Except for…
The Sprinkler Out Back
“Mom, can I put on my swimsuit and go run in the sprinkler?” “Sure, I need to water the front anyway.” Doesn’t she need to water the back? Certainly it needs it more. “I wanna go out back though.” “I just watered back there yesterday honey.” Well never mind then. I’m not going out front…
Happy 7th to my 1st!
This little bundle made me a “Mommy” seven years ago today. This is one of my favorite pictures of him ever taken (at age 2). He no longer has those two front baby teeth. Today he is a soccer playing, reading, writing, joke-telling, brother and sister-loving, sweet, sensitive boy. His blue eyes are just like…
Missing School
It was a school night and as the warm water rushed out of the shiny faucet, I climbed into the tub for my bath. I saw the bright pink bottle of bubble bath with that silly bubble guy smiling back at me. I grabbed it and started to unscrew the cap when my Mom walked…
Ahh, to be young again… WW & You Capture
The beauty of youth is all around me. Every day, in my children. I just hope and pray they keep me young. There’s a saying… something about how youth is wasted on the young. I don’t think it’s a waste at all… Can you tell my camera is working again? 😉 These were all…
I’ll Miss These Times Someday, Right?
This weekend was busy. But then most of them are. I believe we are in the beginning of the phase of our life as a family known as “BUSY”. It seems like we have at least one birthday party almost every weekend. And at least one soccer game. There were a couple of times this…
PSF – Time To Play
I had the idea to get something for the boys to play with out in the backyard. A “dual” birthday gift that would come in between their two birthdays (but for the time of year factor, MUCH closer to The B Man’s, since Little G’s isn’t until mid-May). So, we went to the local toy…
WW – It’s LIke He’s Growing Up or Something
The B Man caught me off-guard a little today when he walked in the kitchen while I was attempting to cook dinner and comfort his fussy baby sister (it’s apparently called “multi-tasking” and not “stressful” – whatever). He was starting to unzip his school pants while saying “Mommy, wanna see something funny!?” I was inclined…
