The boys enjoyed Baby K’s new tea set that we gave her for her birthday. Complete with tiara and dinosaur jammies. 🙂 Wordful Wednesday now hosted by the beautiful and hilarious mamma at Parenting by Dummies!
Why I/You Should Probably Always Carry a Large Cup in the Car and other Evils of the “Carpool” Line
I’m having trouble with the school pick up line this year. Now mind you, I’m a “seasoned” parent since my kid is a FIRST-grader and I already did this rodeo last year. I know the routine people. There are cars coming from three different streets and each one takes their turn accordingly. But for some…
WW – The Perfect Family Portrait
I’m not sure why I’m considering spending a decent amount of money on family portraits in a few weeks. The B Man did a fine job capturing our beautiful family himself. I mean it is quite possible that if we actually got together to take a photo that Tim would be clandestinely grabbing my boob…
The B Man Goes Back To School & A Giveaway!
****GIVEAWAY CLOSED – WINNER IS GRACE OF FORMERLY GRACIE**** The B Man started school yesterday. First grade. FIRST GRADE!!! Okay, I know it’s not THAT big of a deal to be in the first grade but he is my first child to go to full-time school and each grade is new and exciting! Each year…
WW – My Little Firecrackers
On Friday the boys and I made ‘homemade’ sparklers out of pipe cleaners. (should read, I made them while the boys watched and ‘critiqued’ my work). And then on Saturday they had fun trying to keep them away from their sister while all she did was try to put them in her mouth just like…
Playing Catch Up
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…
WW – Grow On
Did you just say “uh oh?” Because I did when she first did this yesterday. Yes folks, she’s definitely on the move. And my life as I knew it is now over. Oh, and the 6 year old is officially a first-grader after completely Kindergarten today. Not to mention the 3 year old is now…
Conversations
Some stuff overheard at our house lately… Little G: Katie DON’T pull my hair!!!Baby K: ‘baby giggle’ ************************************************** Little G: Mommy, can I play with my wienie now?Me: NO!!! ************************************************** The B Man: (while showing me his pretend ‘laboratory’ in Tim’s office) Mommy, you can’t touch this button right here because if you do there…
You Capture – Depth of Field
I’m still learning how to use my camera. Most of it is experimentation, I’ll admit. And that is no different with this week’s You Capture ‘assignment.’ I just played around with the camera until I kinda figured it out. Except for the first and last pics. They were taken last week. But still. And most…
I Couldn’t See…
We’ve been walking around the neighborhood almost every night with the kids in the last few weeks. Most of the time The B Man rides his too little for him “Thomas” bike while the baby and Little G go in the wagon. Some nights B doesn’t want to ride so in that case he and…
