I'm seriously thinking about holstering a squirt bottle to nix my children's bad habits ( Read more... )

I had signed up to volunteer in the children's program at Bible Study and was asked to help in the nursery on Thursday.  It was pretty fun! There was 1 really little baby and the rest were toddlers. They were pretty entertaining. Delilah was one of the kids too so it was fun to spend some time with her ( Read more... )

Jack is really getting a kick out of watching Star Wars.
We started the first one (IV) on Wednesday night and he really liked it.
He fell asleep before the end though. We didn't get around to starting it until almost 7!
Last night we finished IV and started V. The kids got a little antsy about 45 minutes into the 2nd one so
we shut off and put them ( Read more... )

I realized about 2 weeks ago that I'm a year and a half behind in getting photos ordered and put in albums. That and all of our photo frames have old photos in them. A week ago I went through and uploaded a bazillion photos and then ordered a ton of them.

We played out in the snow for about 2 hours today! It is unheard of for my kids to play in the snow that long. They usually complain about the cold immediately. I cleaned at my grandma's house this morning and then we all ran a few errands. It was so nice out that I suggested to the kids playing with the bikes and cozy coupes since there's hardly ( Read more... )

I can't believe there was a time when I posted a couple times a day. That was back when Jack was a baby though ( Read more... )

We've been busy busy busy lately. I can't even remember everything we did. We stayed at my brother's house the weekend before Thanksgiving. The kids had so much fun. This was the first time we decided to let Keira sleep with Jack and Brooke. They played for a while and we went up several times to tell them to quiet down and go to sleep. Barb got a ( Read more... )

I put up the Christmas tree this weekend. I woke up to a TON of snow Saturday morning so that pretty much sealed the deal. I don't usually put up the tree until the weekend after Thanksgiving but for whatever reason have been hemming and hawing about doing it early this year. I like to take it down like immediately after Christmas so that's why I ( Read more... )
