Barking seal

Today I am thankful for Tylenol.
T has come down with croup. It seems to be a minor case of it – at least that’s what my mama’s intuition tells me. He had a fever last night but Tylenol took care of that real quick. You know he’s sick when he voluntarily goes [...]

More Halloween

I think this Halloween was the most enjoyable yet! T seems to “get” and enjoy trick or treating more and more each year. This year he was really chatting up the people as we went house to house. Also, we went with friends and I think it was more fun going with a buddy. Q [...]

Happy Halloween!

Have a safe, fun and HAPPY HALLOWEEN from Mario and Luigi!

Book Fair

On Thursday we attended a book fair at T’s school.  They had pizza, a jumpy house, and face painting (he chose to have a purple ghost painted).  It was also pajama day so most of the kids were running around in their pj’s.  He was SO excited to wear his Spiderman pajamas.  There was a [...]

Walking and talking

For a while I was going on evening walks/jogs after I put Q to bed.  Now that it’s getting darker I can’t do that anymore.  My neighborhood is not well lit enough to be walking about after dark.  Some days we’ll walk as a family after dinner.  (I love that the weather is so much [...]

Because I’m a joiner…

My friend Mary Jessica, Queen of Halloween, is knitting 31 pumpkins in October!  I joined in the fun and knitted a grand total of two.  One for each of my munchkins.  They’re enjoying tossing them around.
I tried to take a picture of T holding the pumpkins.  Any time I try to take a picture of [...]

My two – stylized

View more, bigger at Stylized Portraiture! Heather and Anna did such a great job of capturing these moments.  Any time I take the kids for photos I worry a bit and hope the kids smile and that they’re able to get good pictures.  I don’t know why because they ALWAYS get AMAZING photos!  They [...]

Ditching the list

Friday afternoon, I made a list of things I hoped to accomplish over the weekend.  By Saturday morning, I ditched my list and decided to ENJOY MY WEEKEND.  Sometimes, I find that I get more things done without a list.  I guess I feel like a failure if I don’t get through a list, but [...]

Someone…

… got RockBand for their birthday.  It was the taller person in this photo.  That same someone also shaved his head.

… got a hold of big brother’s GameBoy.  (Not for long).  Oh, and the “shirt” she is wearing is actually a dress.  It’s nice that some girl dresses can be worn as “shirts” once they’re [...]

Cousinly Love

We went on vacation to California a few weeks ago.  Been meaning to do a recap but just haven’t. had. the. time.  In the meantime, I thought I’d share some pictures of the kids having fun with their cousin. 

Story time.

This picture was taken right after T said, “I love you!”

And here are the boys [...]
