All of the kids got bikes this Christmas. Santa was extra good to them. He somehow knew that each of them needed new wheels. And even delivered them to the house where they were staying in a different state. Santa is amazeballs (do people still say that?) Anyway, the Princess of the house received well,…
Lucky Number Thirteen
Here are 13 of my favorite photos from last year. I admit, it was hard to choose just 13 but I did it. These just stand out to me the most. Thirteen for 2013. …
Restless
It seems as if Christmas cannot come soon enough for my kids. Last night Tim and I stayed up to finally wrap several gifts and when the children awoke in the morning and saw them under the tree they about lost it. And wanted it to be Christmas Eve TODAY. Now. This minute. It is…
Thanksgiving Snapshots
I am just about coming out of my carb coma from this long weekend full of pie and well, CARBS. Sooo many carbs, my friends. I think that small dollop of green been casserole I plopped on my plate totally cancelled them out though, don’t you? Absolutely not. Our trip over the river and through…
For some reason this one did not make the cut.
I am ahead of the game this year and already have our Christmas cards ordered. I know, I rock. 😉 A couple of weekends ago we set up the tripod at the “old horse farm” that is next door to our neighborhood. It was land that the local university used in days past for well,…
My Day. How Was Yours?
“Would you please not do that?” “Why did you do that?” “Really?!” “Tell your brother you are sorry.” “Well then, we’ll just go home!” “Mom does not respond to whining.” “You want another snack? But you JUST ate.” “No, you may not have another piece of candy.” “Please, just get in the bathroom.” “IF YOU…
Parkin’ It
I’m just gonna dump a bunch of pictures on y’all… That’s cool, right? While in Texas LAST weekend and during our last bit of time in Dallas, we stopped downtown to visit Klyde Warren Park. Well, that is after we grabbed some Pei Wei for lunch. (Dear Lafayette, please get a Pei Wei already). It…
The State Farm* (er, I mean fair)
Our group of eleven ventured in the side gate, jacketed and talking about how chilly it was. The first words out of K’s mouth were “I want to go see the HORSES!!” Tim went to buy coupons and the boys went off to ride the “Crazy Mouse” (with Tim). I quickly spotted the carousel so…
Fall-ish Fun
A few years ago I posted pictures of my kids at the “pumpkin patch” (a.k.a. the local Methodist church that uses their land to host games and treats and imported pumpkins) and the cuteness was overwhelming. (Warning: if you click on that link above, your uterus – if you have one – will twitch). I…
F.O.U.R.
“Mama! Did you know that I am a Princess?” “Why yes, baby, I did know that!” “See my pretty skirt?! Look, I can twirl!” “I see that! So lovely!” “I love being a Princess, Mama!” “I know you do baby. And you’re such a pretty one at that…” This is a typical conversation between me…
