These past two days have been really nice. Scott has off from work for the Jewish holiday, but the kids still had school. In the mornings it was just us with he girls; it is always interesting to see the different dynamics in the house. Things were quiet and peaceful. I was able to play Barbie and a few rounds of My First Uno. We had the architects ( Read more... )

This is way overdue, but now that the kids are back in school, hopefully I will have more time to post. Summer was really busy filled with trips to the pool, Disney World, Hershey Park, the sprayground, and lots of little day trips ( Read more... )

I am very glad to have all of my kids home with me for the summer, as I am very greedy about time with them. However, after yesterday I might be very happy when school starts. It is not like I really was alone during the day before school ended. I always have Madison and Kennedy home, and Dustin would only be gone for 2 1/2 hours, but I guess ( Read more... )

So I stalk Goodmama, get them in my cart, and lose them one at a time as I empty the cart of the sold out ones. I don't panic since I can try again later, right? NO.....I get a call from the school system saying that the schools are closing erly due to the excessive heat (it is about 100 F). This causes a problem since DH is a teacher and will be ( Read more... )

 I just received a call today from another mom saying that one of Zachary's classmates lost her mother yesterday. After I hung up the phone my mind instantly started racing. What would I do without my kids and what would they do without me? Who would do homework with them (daddy has NO patience)? Whose hair would Dustin play with in order to fall ( Read more... )

 You know that you are a mom when you consider a miracle something that you never thought your child would do. Today I went to take Kennedy for some pictures at Daddy's work. I, of course, dressed her in her cute little sundress with matching, bib, hat, bow, etc.. We begged for Madison to also get some pictures since the pretty little thing has not ( Read more... )

 I am so not the lucky type. Who else would go on a vacation to Vegas and have it rain for ALL  FIVE days. I managed to convince my sister that I did not bring along all of my bad luck since we weren't one of the people who had their rental cars get totally engulfed in water when the entire first level of the parking deck flooded. We also weren't ( Read more... )

 Okay, Kennedy has now changed sleeping patterns yet again. I was hoping that with the next change would come more sleep; I was wrong. We have hit an all time record- we now wake just about every hour to nurse. Should I even bother to try and sleep myself? I guess I am so desiring sleep, that I can't even imagine why somebody would not even want to ( Read more... )

 I haven't posted in awhile since I just seem to always be caught up in the daily routine. I spent the weekend helping Zachary with his report on Canada. Of course we bumped heads quite a bit because he wants to do the bare minimum, and being I was a teacher, I want him to put in that little extra. It took a long time since this was his first ( Read more... )

 Just lost the Goodmama. They sent the e-mail saying that they had no more. I am so disappointed. I was so excited to be able to try one. Scott finally agreed to me buying some wish boxes if they worked as well as everybody says they do. I was hoping to be able to at least try one so I could order wishboxes when they are in stock (hah, will that ( Read more... )
