We haven’t done anything very “Summery” this week. You know, unless you count hunkering down next to the A/C unit. Oh my, the HEAT!! Even the bugs are coming in to the house for a reprieve. (Note to BUGS: seriously, STAY OUT. You’re freakin’ out the boy children and the baby girl wants to eat…
WW – Older Brothers? No Problem!!
I have THREE older brothers. I used to think that was THE worst. THREE smelly, burping, dirty-socked, I-had-to-share-a-bathroom-with-them brothers. Really, it wasn’t all THAT bad. A couple of ’em were even mostly out of the house by the time I even spent extra time in the bathroom. And, honestly, they never beat me up or…
Sending out an S.O.S. (Save Our Sleep!)
Baby girl is now 10 months old as of today. And no, I don’t want to talk about it. (as in “time has gone WAY to fast and I can’t believe I am already having to think about her first birthday”, talk about it…) And actually, yes I do. She’s wonderful. She’s smart. She’s gorgeous…
Just Fly Away
When the kids and I were driving to Alexandria last week I had time to sit with my earphones in and listen to my own music as they sat in the back and watched Toy Story for the 800 gazillionth time. The drive was quite nice, through the country side of western Louisiana, past many…
You Capture – PLAY
On Tuesday it rained on and off all day. One hour the sun would be out and the next it would be dark, as the clouds rolled in again. I felt bad that the kids had been indoors all day.I suggested to the boys that they go out and play in the rain. The B…
I Need Her
It’s funny how there are things in life you don’t know you need until you have them. Like for instance, an incing spreader. I used to frost cakes and cupcakes all the time with just a plain ole butter knife. But then my baking life changed EE-mensely when I got a handy dandy icing spreader….
New Friends, New Places
Last Friday I loaded up the kids and headed for Alexandria. Louisiana, that is. Don’t my children look just thrilled? They really were, it was just very sunny. Oh and apparently Baby K was already scopin’ the animals… There’s a zoo there and we met up with Heather and her kidlets. Aren’t they cute?? In…
People I’d Like to Meet (or see again) at BlogHer (if I were going)
If you follow me on twitter you know that my “I’m not going to BlogHer this year” pity party has started. I’ve been trying to tell myself that it’s not that big of a deal that I’m not going. I’ve pretty much known all along that I was NOT going to make it to NYC…
You Capture – Black & White
When we celebrated my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary this weekend I was so happy and excited to remember that my mother had the forethought to include her original cake-topper (see a pic here) for the cake she ordered for their party. And I think it’s quite perfect for this photo to be in black and…
WW – Typical Day, Not so Typical Night
I went to bed “uncharacteristically early” last night.. (guess the movie and you WIN! nothing but Miss Elaine-ous life kudos points)Therefore I did not post my usual WW post BEFORE I sacked out. The day was similar to many. Dropped one kiddo off at “summer” school… Took the other two to the gym day care…
