M.I.A.

August 16, 2010 by Elaine

A Day Late and a Lightbulb (or two) Short

June 22, 2010 by Elaine

The kids and I went to one of those home improvement type stores today. I took them out against my better judgment (rowdy little buggars) and thankfully it worked out okay. Did you know that the store like that that starts with an “L” has cool car carts with TWO steering wheels? Yeah, saved my…

Playing Catch Up

June 21, 2010 by Elaine

The other day I found myself ‘venting’ about the fact that this could be a crazy Summer with the kids. Yeah, remember that? And now, it’s already less than 2 months before The B Man goes back to school and we have another trip planned in a few weeks to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding…

Confession time: I didn’t take very many pictures this week. Egads! I know. And MY VERY FAVORITE one? Happens to be the same one I posted yesterday. But I changed it up a bit for those of you who’ve already seen it. (there are a few of you, I think…) (which one do YOU like…

Are Three Kids Too Many?

May 24, 2010 by Elaine

Tim left today for a ‘business trip’ in which he got to go back ‘home’ and see old co-workers and some family. And don’t even think about trying to find me to rob my house or anything, now that you know this because I have mean, scary neighbors with big guns. I don’t really know…
