This post sponsored by the letter “K”

August 8, 2012 by Elaine

I’m a little nervous about Gavin starting school next week.  And by the way, a little means a lot. I do not feel like he is as prepared as he should be. In so many ways. But I am trying to have faith that he is more prepared than I think. The other night we…

Play time

July 26, 2012 by Elaine

I got my big girl camera out today.  It felt so nice to caress its black plastic again and adjust settings and click the pretty silver button. Oh my. Anyway, K and I decided to redecorate Dora’s casa and then G crashed our party. So I took some pictures.  And now my Nikon isn’t nearly…

Lego Bounce Party & MEM

May 21, 2012 by Elaine

We officially celebrated Little G’s birthday this weekend at the local bouncy place.  He wanted a Lego party so I obliged.  As per last week’s post on less stress, I kept things pretty simple and we had a good amount of kids. I did make the cupcakes from scratch and I decorated the treat bags…

Happy 5th to my 2nd!

May 15, 2012 by Elaine

I found out I was pregnant with Little G while we were on vacation in Florida in early September of 2006. Tim says he knew I was pregnant a few weeks earlier when we went to see my nephew who was born very premature.  I was acting a tad erratic (a.k.a b!tchy) and emotional. Don’t…

Running A Muck!

March 23, 2012 by Elaine

Last week I wrote about my son.  The one that keeps me on my toes the most.  The one that exhausts me, both in good and not-so-good ways.  The one whose face is so cute that it’s hard to resist. And then the other day while in Target, this happened… On occasion we go to…

So this week’s been a little different

March 22, 2012 by Elaine

Sometimes things don’t always go as planned.  Especially when kids and erratic weather are involved. And that’s okay. Monday, Gav had a Trike-a-thon at school and even though he kept telling me he had a tummy ache before school, he still wanted to go.  He kept saying the night before, “The trike-a-thon is tomorrow, awesome…

Cheerio, Old Chap!

March 14, 2012 by Elaine

I think I’ve watched a bit too many Downton Abbey episodes lately, what do y’all think? (I’m almost caught up, 2 more episodes to go… I hear that last one is a zinger…) The little kids had a pre-lunch appetizer of milk and Cheerios the other day and I grabbed my camera because they had…

Exasperating Boy

March 13, 2012 by Elaine

As I have mentioned before, one of my children can exasperate me to no end… In the morning he snuggles in next to me in our bed.  In the evening he runs wild about the house, literally bouncing off the walls and furniture. One minute he’s asking for hugs and kisses and the next he…

Proof my kids play other things besides Angry Birds

February 29, 2012 by Elaine

This boy is my snuggly snuggle bug and the main reason we are in the market for a king-sized bed. He’s also a drink-stealer, president of the 4-W club (whine, whine, whine, whine), an all star dessert eater and an A #1 bathtub splasher. He still likes to be held and carried through the house,…

Memories Captured – Little G

January 17, 2012 by Elaine

It’s hard to choose just one child to post a picture of when you have three. But sometimes you just happen to snap a shot of one of them that you feel is perfect for the moment. This is one of those pictures. My second little boy, wearing his Cars jammies, standing in front of…
