My best memories of my Father while I was growing up include things like him dancing with my mother at weddings, how he made breakfast on Sunday mornings after church and the way he hugged me when he got home from work, telling me – “give me some shouggy” (sugar) – his way of asking…
A Pretty Great Day & MEM
I slept in a bit. I had coffee brought to me and breakfast made for me. I did a load of laundry and some dishes. I laid with the toddler while she fell asleep for her nap. I sat in the church cry room for a bit with the same squirmy, loud (but still cute)…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday, etc.
This weekend was a whopper. I even missed a hair appointment because I just couldn’t keep all the soccer balls in the air. shIt happens. And here I am a week behind and posting more pics from our Easter, because, like I said, there are a lot. And I know the Resurrection of Jesus is already old…
The Egg Scramble
So, I was hoping to post pictures about our entire Easter, this morning. But you know what? I took so many damn photos that I like, even if you don’t that it’s gonna take a couple of posts. I decided that I would just share the egg hunt the first egg hunt anyway, oh gosh,…
These Days…
…they go by pretty fast, you know? Last night we returned from Texas, late. Meaning it was late at night. Like 11 p.m. late. And someone I know who is two years old was still awake and watching “bugs” (A Bugs Life). During our long jaunt back, I texted a friend of mine to see…
On the Fourth of the Fourth Month
And so it goes that I did not get a picture of my kids on the third but yet again, the fourth of the month. The universe must be trying to tell me we need a dog or something (since you know, no mo babies are comin’ outta this lady…). Plus I was completely distracted…
Truly Miss Elaine-ous Monday
The entire family dressed in green on Saturday to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in our own little way. Tim also made green pancakes. On Friday afternoon The B man went on about the “leprechaun” that wreaked havoc in their classroom at school. They came back to find all kinds of silly things done to the…
Everybody Loves a Mardi Gras Parade
Mardi Gras is over and tomorrow Lent begins (or today, depending on when you read this…) The festivities of the last week and a half produced more beads than our household could handle so we already have a bag full, ready to be donated. Our last parade was a warm one since we spent it…
We love each other every day…
After spending a day and half in bed it was nice to get some fresh air. and Chocolates I may have eaten them ALL. (it wasn’t that big of a box…) (50% off the day AFTER Valentine’s, even sweeter) The hubby and I have dinner reservations for Saturday night. I’m crossing my fingers and toes…
Beaucoup de Chiens
Have you ever seen such a beautiful Queen? Yep, that’s right, Mardi Gras is already in full swing here in Cajun Country and my living room is littered with the cheap, colorful beads and other crap “throws” to prove it. When we move from here someday, parades will NEVER be the same for my kids. EVER….
