It is so cold I swear I'm going to turn into an icicle soon.  The high temps aren't supposed to get above freezing until next week and my toes are not happy about it ( Read more... )

I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor and have made over 80 goody bags for birthday and school parties.   I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my son's red crayon, on the back of a ( Read more... )

Really busy, but fun day yesterday.  We met up with Dale's mom and my parents at Giles' school for their Halloween parade.  We only got to see Giles for maybe 30 seconds as he went by, but all the kids dressed up was adorable!  There were some incredibly creative costumes this year.  Giles went as Interstate 15 which is one of the interstates that ( Read more... )
