So, we’re just hanging out this week building ginger bread houses and… trying to figure out what’s in our gifts under the tree… and hanging out in our Christmas-y pajamas… and smiling big thinking of what’s to come in a couple of days… Now excuse me while I run out for just ONE MORE gift……
Thank You God For…
The boys and I pray together almost every night. Sometimes Tim does it instead but I’m pretty sure he’s not quite as thorough as I am so I like to do it myself. Plus it’s my snuggle time with my boys and I get to hear what they are thankful for each day. We begin…
Emotional
I drove up close to the mailbox like I do almost every day after picking up The B Man from school. He rolled down his window, opened the box and grabbed up the envelopes and fliers. He handed them to me and I was happy to count seven Christmas cards amongst the pile and see…
Christmas Tour of Homes 2009
This year we are in a new home. It’s our first Christmas in Louisiana. It took us a while to figure out where the tree should go but we found a good spot. We’re still figuring out the stocking situation (in other words, I don’t have enough stocking holders) but the mantle looks pretty good…
WW – Christmas Past
Before Tim and I had children of our own, we enjoyed holidays and other family times with our nieces and nephews (mostly on my side, since they lived the closest). My brothers have 8 children amongst them and the oldest is now 18. Christmas was always fun to watch them open their gifts and to…
He Ran Out to Get What Could Be Our 500th Tube Since We Got Married
We put the Christmas tree up on Saturday. We (meaning I) kept it pretty simple this year and didn’t even put EVERY.SINGLE ornament on the tree. Since our entire living room is 18 inch tiles I bought a VERY large piece of felt to put under the tree and am hoping (and praying) that it…
WW – Bathing Beauty
I am keeping this one fairly “wordless”. But not completely of course! What do you think this is anyway, silent-ville? PSHAW! The day I’m truly wordless is the day that pigs fly and H.E.double-hockey-sticks freezes over. See? I just CAN’T do it. Anywho, this baby is most happy when she’s getting clean. I have a…
Halloween & A One Month Old
My boys have been wearing their Halloween costumes for what seems like 72 hours (is that three days? – forgive me, I’m the mother of an infant and well… uh… not so good at math). The B Man had a little program at school on Friday morning in which he recited two nursery rhymes and…
WW – Halloween (Past) Edition
For The B Man’s first Halloween we were gifted with this awesome chicken costume from Tim’s Dad and his wife, Diane. She worked for Old Navy at the time and despite being a little big, I think it “fit” him quite well. I even had professional pictures done of him in it and sent out…
WW – A Place Where There Were Pumpkins
On Saturday we took the family to a local church that was hosting a little fall carnival and pumpkin “patch” (or as I say, pumpkin staging area…). They had a bounce house, bake sale, hot dogs, some farm animals to admire (no petting!) and a pumpkin decorating area. Oh and maze that was muddy but…
