I was served breakfast in bed (yummy French toast, bacon and scrambled eggs with a glass of o.j.) and stayed there until 9:30, snuggling my baby girl. The boys were pretty good in church and after, we came home for lunch, and Tim made me a yummy grilled ham and swiss. The boys helped me…
I Couldn’t See…
We’ve been walking around the neighborhood almost every night with the kids in the last few weeks. Most of the time The B Man rides his too little for him “Thomas” bike while the baby and Little G go in the wagon. Some nights B doesn’t want to ride so in that case he and…
On Smocked Dresses and Free Address Labels and Moving
No, we are NOT moving again. It’s just that I still talk about the “big move” and things related to it quite a bit so it’s in the title of this post. K? K. Actually, it’s been over nine months since we moved and things are going well. Of course it has it’s “pros” and…
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…
A Day to Get Out
Some days I just feel the pull to spend time outdoors. Today was one of those days. I noticed the sun high in the sky and the blue color begged for my observation. So after church and lunch and living room toy clean up it was time to go sliding and walking and duck-feeding and…
Co-Sleeping is NOT for the Tender-Ribbed (or me)
The sleeping arrangements at Grandma and Grandpa’s house leave a little to be desired. At least for me. Little G was satisfied to sleep on a blow up kiddie bed for the first two nights but unfortunately that has lost it’s luster and he’s found the bed where I sleep (in the same room) much…
You Capture – Work
It’s someone’s WORK to drive these… It’s someone’s WORK to wear this… And these… It’s my WORK to fold these… It’s my WORK to make these… It’s my WORK to play with these? NAH! It’s a walk in the park compared to putting on that fire suit. Who has the more difficult day at WORK?…
FUN Children’s Music – Artist Joanie Leeds CD Giveaway
****THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED**** Music is a pretty big deal around here. Tim and I are both singers and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that at least one of our children will follow in our foot steps. Recently I was given the chance to review a new CD by singer/songwriter Joanie Leeds. Since I’m…
You Capture – Faces
My Favorite Faces… I love them all but this last one is my favorite. I was in awe that he was still for that long for me to take this beautiful picture. P.S. I LOVE my camera. P.P.S. Yes, I know two of the pics are cut off on the sides. I tried the new…
WW – My Three
My three children are growing up right before my very eyes. (I know, I can hear you saying it, “Well of course they are, Elaine, that’s what children do!”) I registered The B Man for soccer last weekend. Little G uses the word “actually” correctly. Baby K smiles hugely as I come toward her to…
