Isn’t He Cute When He’s Sleeping?

Miles PASSED OUT on the couch after decorating Easter Eggs and running around with his cousins.
(Please excuse the “I need a haircut” do he’s rocking.  He’s not a fan of getting his hair done so
I go as long as I possibly can between his haircuts!)
Miles has ALWAYS been a horrible sleeper.  When he was a baby the Dr told me that [...]

Pots and Pans and Bowls and Covers OH MY!

Yes, you can be jealous of my organizational skills now.

This is EVERYTHING that was inside the cabinet!

MUCH better, right?  (Please excuse the crap overflowing
from the other cabinet, I’ll be cleaning that one out next week!
Back in January I made a New Years resolution to get organized.  I’m easily overwhelmed by this kind of thing so I’ve [...]

Both Abby and Miles were super excited that the Easter Bunny is stopping by tomorrow.  Miles has been insisting that the Easter Bunny is going to bring him a train, and Abby kept busy ALL day by asking if it was time to decorate eggs yet.

Abby and her First Coloring Contest

“MOM, I’m TRYING to color here.”
When I was a kid I used to love entering the coloring contests at the local grocery store.  They would hold one for almost every holiday and all of the entries were displayed in the front window of the store.  Everyone who participated was given a goodie bag and a certificate, and I [...]

How am I Supposed to Hide Easter Eggs in this?

This winter we had a horrible ice storm.  Power in the area was wiped out for a few days, trees were down EVERYWHERE and it was a huge mess!  The ice storm also did in the big tree in my backyard, so this spring it had to come down.  The above is what my backyard [...]

Chunky Brown Fingerpaint Skeeves Me Out

Miles brought this home from school the other day.  Isn’t it lovely? Normally when they do an art project it goes along with a story they’ve read in class.  I’m just hoping that this picture was supposed to go with this book ..

and not this one …

Seriously though, who thought brown chunky fingerpaint was a good [...]

You mean you’re NOT supposed to leave your Christmas lights up until March?

Back in early January I went outside and had every intention of taking the Christmas lights down.  Once I got out there though, I took a closer look and found that the lights were iced over and stuck to the shrub AND they were buried under a foot of snow.  Since I don’t like snow or ice and I didn’t want to be taking down the [...]

Who Says I Don’t Have Any Willpower?

There are certain foods that I avoid like the plague .. I avoid these foods because I absolutely can NOT help myself when I’m around them and end up eating the ENTIRE package.  In an effort to not eat entire packages of crap I don’t need to be eating anyways, I pretend they don’t exist .. out of sight out of mind [...]
