My Kids Crack Me Up

February 8, 2012 by Elaine

The other night we were talking to The B Man about how we need to get him a new mattress. I won’t EVEN tell you how old the one he has been sleeping on happens to be thesameoneIsleptonasakid.He was all gung-ho about the idea and after I laid down on his bed I was all…

This Day

February 7, 2012 by Elaine

My heart parts felt a bit jumbled today. One minute they are shaken up while two kids fight over the front part of the Target cart.  And both cry.  And I negotiate the best I know how. We spend too much time touching every Lego box (well, Little G does anyway) and we are almost…

I Heart Hearts & Miss Elaine-ous Monday

February 6, 2012 by Elaine

The heart shape is really quite enticing, isn’t it?  It’s one of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day. Or just life in general.  It’s just so cute and symmetrical and pretty in any color. And well, sweet. And since I currently have a little girl, I’m utilizing hearts to the fullest.   I found these…

Three on the Fourth (again)

February 4, 2012 by Elaine

I cannot seem to take my monthly pic of my THREE on the third. The 4th seems to be our magic day. Although not sure anyone would call this *magic*. They like to play on my bed.  And I had just a moment to capture them all before they split and were on to something…

The Evolution of a Runner

February 3, 2012 by Elaine

Person thinks maybe they’ll take up running after being inspired by friends. Person goes in closet and thinks, “these shoes will be fine”. Person goes to the gym treadmill and runs one minute (not mile) and is pretty sure death is upon them. Person reconsiders. Person is persistent and goes back to gym and works…

Pretty sure Winter just skipped us this year…

February 2, 2012 by Elaine

You would have NO idea that Spring is still seven weeks away if you ventured on to my street. The Japanese magnolias are in full force And the azaleas are starting to pop out already too! But it still looks like winter in some ways… Except across the street at my neighbors, where the tulips…

A video that makes me wish I took more video

February 1, 2012 by Elaine

I’m sure someone thought we were silly taking a quick video of our little girl “shivering” at cold ice cream the other day. Like maybe the young guy in the background that you see very briefly. Or maybe the older man across the way whose eye I caught during the process. Perhaps he wished he…

Back

January 30, 2012 by Elaine

So the kids and I drove off to Big D (Dallas) on Thursday afternoon for some visiting of family and friends. The main reason we went was because one of my “besties” is about to have her second son and we girls surprised her with a shower/dinner.  She had absolutely NO idea that it was…

Funky Town

January 26, 2012 by Elaine

Do you just ever feel like your life is on “repeat”?  Sort of like that movie “Groundhog Day”? he’s tickling her face. gah, they’re cute. I’ve kinda felt that way lately. Wake up. Feed kids. Drop off kids. Run. Grocery shop. Feed kids. Run (other errands). Compute (which encompasses many things…). Laundry. Pick up kids. Feed…
