Why I/You Should Probably Always Carry a Large Cup in the Car and other Evils of the “Carpool” Line

September 17, 2010 by Elaine

I’m having trouble with the school pick up line this year. Now mind you, I’m a “seasoned” parent since my kid is a FIRST-grader and I already did this rodeo last year. I know the routine people. There are cars coming from three different streets and each one takes their turn accordingly. But for some…

New Orleans Part I, The Best Way to Ride

September 6, 2010 by Elaine

While in New Orleans over the weekend we found our best transportation on Saturday to be the trolley train car system (that’s what we ended up calling it anyway). The boys were most excited to ride it, especially Little G. Our first ride was quite nice and just took us back and forth along part…

Past Post Parade – August

August 31, 2010 by Elaine

I started this idea because I like to peek into your archives and I personally think it’s great fun to go back and read other bloggers previous posts. So here’s how it goes: Link up to a post from August of last year or August of any previous year, depending on how long you’ve been…

WW – The Perfect Family Portrait

August 25, 2010 by Elaine

I’m not sure why I’m considering spending a decent amount of money on family portraits in a few weeks. The B Man did a fine job capturing our beautiful family himself. I mean it is quite possible that if we actually got together to take a photo that Tim would be clandestinely grabbing my boob…

I Gots Questions

August 17, 2010 by Elaine

Were the “Pet Shop Boys” boys that actually worked at a pet shop together? What’s up with the price of gas always having that 9/10 on the sign? If the gas is 2.59 9/10 a gallon why not just make it 2.60 a gallon? Why do they put plastic on the organic broccoli? What hurts…

On Tuesday it rained on and off all day. One hour the sun would be out and the next it would be dark, as the clouds rolled in again. I felt bad that the kids had been indoors all day.I suggested to the boys that they go out and play in the rain. The B…

Tweet Week

July 12, 2010 by Elaine

So apparently you really CAN keep up with my life if you follow me on twitter. This may be a re-run for some of you that do, but I just thought it was interesting to document a week just from my ‘tweets’… First of all, you can know my daily schedule of events:So far today…

WW – ‘Bed Head’ hee hee

June 30, 2010 by Elaine

We played on the bed today. I wanted to lay down for a bit. She did not. She was moving too fast for me. She wanted to eat the camera strap. I only got a glimpse of her hair in this shot. She was headed for MY hair. She found it.

PSF – Down on the Farm

June 25, 2010 by Elaine

We went down on the farm. I had sweat dripping down my back just minutes after exiting the car. The baby touched some ‘dead’ poison ivy. (she’s fine) I spent $7.25 I talked with some of my friends. I wore the baby as I sought out and picked my portion of the bounty. I let…
