On the Fourth of the Fourth Month

April 5, 2012 by Elaine

And so it goes that I did not get a picture of my kids on the third but yet again, the fourth of the month.  The universe must be trying to tell me we need a dog or something (since you know, no mo babies are comin’ outta this lady…).  Plus I was completely distracted yesterday (4/3) by all the tornado news in Texas, in the town where we used to live so… yeah, THAT.

We are headed to my parents’ in Texas for the Easter break (the kids have 3 days off from school) and I’ve been missing my HOME state quite a bit lately so I am very excited to hug my main peeps (no Easter candy pun intended) and see my family.

It should be some good down time, you know, after 7ish hours in the car by myself with the children (don’t worry Tim will be riding back to LA with us…) and a taste of my Daddy’s barbecue always does a body good.

Sorry about my excessive use of parentheses today.

Peeps Out!
(sorry, I just had to!)

see the bug??

    I love that picture of the flower with the kids playing in the background. My husband would know the name of the flower, but I’m not him!
