There are times when I still wonder what we are doing here. You know, living in this particular town, away from our families and most of the people and things we knew for years. But then we have a “little” Halloween party (more on that later this week) and I see my kids with their…
Whatcha Gonna Be This “Hallween”? – Miss Elaine-ous Monday
My Dad is a funny guy. He likes to tell silly jokes a lot and it’s worth it to hear him tell the same ones over and over just see his big smile and hear his belly laugh. When I was a kid he would often tease me during the month of October by saying,…
The Sickies (also known as “us”) – Miss Elaine-ous Monday
Someone has been sick in this house since last Thursday morning. It started with me. I’ll spare you the details but let’s just say a stomach bug found us. Tim and The B Man left for work and school as usual, but by 9:15 or so that morning I was calling him to come rescue…
My Photos of K – Miss Elaine-ous Monday
I like to take photographs. Especially of my adorable kids. (yes, I am biased) I consider myself a photographer, but an amateur one. I always had someone else take pictures of the boys for their big milestones. But now, I’m taking them myself. I think I captured my two-year old pretty well. And here’s a…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday – Soccer Drop Out?
Saturday morning both boys had their first soccer game of the season. And it was G’s very first soccer game (although it might also be his last -I’ll explain in a bit…) First, pictures of happier times… Little G was MOST excited to put on his uniform for the first time, except he’s not really…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday – Proof I may be a tad bit crazy…
I haven’t officially signed up for it yet. My brain isn’t even truly psyched for it. Yet. But. I’ve told myself I’m going to go for it. I’ve started training for a half marathon.*swallows hard* There are a few conditions, however. First of all (and perhaps the MOST important) I have problems with my right…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday – T.S. Lee!
We were expecting some pretty fierce storms due to Tropical Storm Lee but instead we just got a really soggy holiday weekend. Honestly, I think Tim is/was a tad disappointed. There was a small tree branch down in someone’s yard on the way home from church today so I that’s kinda bad, right? I’m thankful it…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday (1st Edition!) – Chips Only?
I love chocolate chip cookies and this is no secret in our house. When the kids see me get the mixer out from under the cabinet and the butter out of the fridge they know it’s go-time and we ALL get a tad giddy. Today I suggested we make some and shortly after Tim said,…
