It happened

Friday, August 24th, 2007

It stormed ALL night long again. All night… thunder, lightening and lots and lots of rain. More is expected this afternoon.
Our basement now has water in one corner. It just so happens to be the corner where our computers are. Guess we’ll be moving those, soon.
You’ll now know where I am if I’m AWOL for [...]

I’m not a Cookie Monster!

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

That’s it! Are any other moms (or parents) out there fed up with magazines that have unrealistic budgets for the products they feature?! I received a couple of issues of a new magazine (it’s name is in the title above) that is supposed to be geared toward moms and kids. Neat concept.

But it is not [...]

Grandparents: FYI

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

Dear Grandmother, Grandfather, Nana & Poppy,
Just wanted to let you know in the past few days I have decided to tuck my little knees under me before I start my scooching style army crawl. We have lift off! It looks like I’ll be really crawling soon!
 love,
Evan

Baseball fun

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

I’ve written before about how baseball is a way of life in our house. Just a few minutes ago, Andy asked me, “Momma, why is baseball so fun?”
He’s usually not satisfied with simple answers, so I started in on my dissertation that I had once used to explain to my brother-in-law as to why baseball [...]

WFMW: Easier laundry!

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

When you live in a house with three little boys less than 3 years apart, things can get confusing. I used to hate doing laundry because sock sorting was a nightmare. Then Hanes saved the day with their EZ Sort Socks.

Each size has a different color logo embroidered into the bottom! BRILLIANT! They have them [...]

Still got it…

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

This English major’s still got it (or still has it, if you want to be correct. And the antecedent to the pronoun “it” isn’t mentioned, but it’s skills).
You need to do this quiz and then report your score back here. Again, winner takes home bragging rights!
Your Language Arts Grade: 100%

Way to go! You [...]

He promised, right?!

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

We’ve had a lot of rain here recently. We needed it when it initially started. Now, not so much.  This is what the news showed us this morning:

Yup, more is coming! What’s worse is that they had a flood warning for our county that lasts until Sunday at 1 p.m. SUNDAY. Today is Tuesday. YIKES!
There [...]

Help… please?!

Monday, August 20th, 2007

Ironically enough, I was cleaning house this morning when I found this:

Please note that these photos were taken after I tried washing her off!
 
Evan was quietly playing on the living room floor. She had rolled over by the wall and was cooing and content. I thought she was chewing on her thumb. Apparently, I was [...]

WHEW!

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

We are done with our very busy week of Vacation Bible School. Our good friends, Evangelist Richard Boyle and his wife Rebecca, led the week and did a great job of presenting Christ through a construction theme. The boys loved every minute of it and are now asking why it has to be over. They surprised everyone [...]

I’m not the only one!

Friday, August 17th, 2007

I’m not the only looney person in the world who names my children in alphabetical order. See?! AND, she had hers closer together than me, too!
