Best Shot Monday – My Little Artiste

July 14, 2008 by Elaine

I never can resist the Dollar Spot at Target. By the time I weave through the 2 aisles I have usually added another $5 or so to my Target tab. They really know how to get you, don’t they? One day I bought The B Man some “crafty” things from there, including foam letters, pipe…

Our Very Own Super Hero

July 8, 2008 by Elaine

I am not sure if I should be typing this now, as I may risk “outing” one 4-year-old Super Hero, also known as Super Squeaky. Yes folks, he may be in your neighborhood “saving the day,” well…uh… any day now. So… watch out as you walk your dogs, take your kids to the park or…

Best Shot Monday, Etc.

July 7, 2008 by Elaine

Here are a few pictures from the past week, inlcuding the holiday. We did go to fireworks the evening of the 3rd but I forgot my camera (darn!) We also went to the city parade on the morning of the 4th. I had my camera, minus the memory card. Not good. I did get a…

Questions About Heaven

July 1, 2008 by Elaine

Ever since my mother’s dog, Zeke died and we told The B Man that he went to heaven the concept has been on his mind. Several nights while we say prayers he asks about it. “Where is Heaven?” “When will I go to Heaven?” “Are there toys in Heaven?” “What can I eat in Heaven?”…

Scrappin’ Sunday

June 29, 2008 by Elaine

Here’s a page I just “whipped up” yesterday. I admit, I “stole” the page idea from the recent scrapping convention that I attended. But don’t worry, I spent plenty of $ there! Thank goodness for my picture phone so I could replicate this one! Hope you like! This is The B Man helping his Great…

Austinification

June 26, 2008 by Elaine

Here are some highlights from our trip to Austin. I love that my kids have fun with their cousins and with their Grandma & Grandpa. (oh and I guess with aunts & uncles too!) After we got in town we checked in at Mom and Dad’s and then loaded back up a few hours later…

Monday Mish Mash

June 23, 2008 by Elaine

So, I am in Austin and if you are reading this that means the auto-posty thingy did it’s job just right. Yay! Here are some random thoughts for a Monday. Take ’em or leave ’em (I suggest you take ’em, but that’s just me…) *How come you can never find a tissue when you need…

Thank God It’s Over

June 19, 2008 by Elaine

I had a bad day yesterday. A little background would be good, right? Something that hasn’t been in my life for almost 2 years came back Wednesday night. Let’s just say between being pregnant for 9 + months and nursing for 13 now, “this” just hadn’t returned. Until now. And it’s here with a vengence….

BSM – Boys Playing Together

June 2, 2008 by Elaine

Tim made The B Man a fort this weekend and when Little G woke up from his nap, he wanted in on the action too. Here they are together, inside their little “house.” The theme this week is something magical and well, I think it’s just that when I see them play together now –…
