Exasperating Boy

March 13, 2012 by Elaine

As I have mentioned before, one of my children can exasperate me to no end… In the morning he snuggles in next to me in our bed.  In the evening he runs wild about the house, literally bouncing off the walls and furniture. One minute he’s asking for hugs and kisses and the next he…

A new bed for you and you and YOU! / MEM

March 12, 2012 by Elaine

We’ve been rearranging around here since Tim and I sprung for a king-sized bed and had it delivered a week ago.  ZOMG, it’s friggin’ huge.  And comfortable.  And came with a remote or two. Thankfully our queen bed was able to go in the boys’ room and now one of them is sleeping on a…

Not a lot

March 8, 2012 by Elaine

I do not have much to say today.  I’m kinda keeping on the down-low, like I said I would.  I even went to bed before 10 p.m. last night, which is TOTALLY unheard of most nights.  And by the way, 8.5 hours of sleep is pretty amazing.  For body and soul. Here’s just a few favorite…

This mother of three should really know by now that 2 year-olds don’t stand still, right?

March 7, 2012 by Elaine

Taking photos of kids is pretty hard.  Especially when it is your own and especially when they are not too keen on listening to you and just want to do their own thing.  BUT, you chose that moment in time to try to take their photo so you just snap away and do the best…

Growing and growing…

March 6, 2012 by Elaine

I spent the beautiful morning cleaning house and doing chores, putting away the clothes of my children. The pants and socks and underwear and shirts that just keep getting bigger and bigger…  There is simply no stopping them.  Just like the babies, the ones that are now kids. I rinsed the same colorful, plastic dishes…

She’s Got Legs/Miss Elaine-ous Monday

March 5, 2012 by Elaine

I go to our gym 2-3 times a week to run, cross train or take zumba, etc.  The place we go here in Laffy, is quite unique in that it is owned by an individual and has grown a lot since he opened the doors in 1963.  Not to mention “he” is a former Mr….

Flower Farming

March 1, 2012 by Elaine

When I was a little girl my maternal grandparents’ farm was a wildflower wonderland in the Spring.  I loved our trips there during that time of the year because I could break out through the back gate and find myself in an enormous field, full of greens and blues and reds and whites and yellows….

Proof my kids play other things besides Angry Birds

February 29, 2012 by Elaine

This boy is my snuggly snuggle bug and the main reason we are in the market for a king-sized bed. He’s also a drink-stealer, president of the 4-W club (whine, whine, whine, whine), an all star dessert eater and an A #1 bathtub splasher. He still likes to be held and carried through the house,…

In the Silence / Miss Elaine-ous Monday

February 27, 2012 by Elaine

After mass last Wednesday we all walked up to get our ashes and then those of us who wanted to, also approached the altar and randomly chose a piece of slate with one word on it. The week before our priest had “warned” the congregation that these would be available and that each word represented…
