“It’s time again for picture time! It’s time to get your crayons and your pen-cils!” Remember that song?! That has nothing to do with this post. It was just a fun title that got me sidetracked. * I’m totally backtracking here with this post. I needed something to post about. About a month ago, on […]
Well, first, as I type this, my house is filled with the DELISH smell of pumpkin bread baking, and I’m loving that. So we’ll make that #1! * Also, we’re having a renewed love affair with our Wii. Yes, I said it. A video gaming system. I love it. Now, forgive me as I sound […]
I can’t tell if it’s the simple addition of preschool into our lives (and all the book orders, field trips, fundraisers and drop off/pick ups that includes) or if it’s just fall and schedules really pick up, but we have felt SO BUSY lately! Thanks for those who commented on my last post. For a […]
I was pretty vocal about my adoration for the summer show, So You Think You Can Dance. Each season I get pretty sucked in, attached to certain dancers and follow it pretty closely. Sometimes the judges talk too long or don’t make sense, sometimes the choreography is weird or strange, the costumes are hideous…what I’m […]
My only regret about Carson’s party is that I didn’t take any video. I think it was a wonderful glimpse into his truly enchanted childhood. (He may not think it is enchanted, but I see how all the pieces of his life add up to nothing less.) He was surrounded by all of his extended […]
I’m going to have to divide Carson’s birthday party pics into 2 posts. But first, some of you have requested pictures of the cupcakes, and here they are! This is the menagerie of jungle safari animals: zebra, lion, monkey, giraffe, elephant and tiger. I could not have made these without my in-laws, who took the […]
We had a big party today. It was super fun. I make cupcakes and they took a long time. Carson has a blast at his party and felt so special having all his friends and family shower him with love, attention and gifts. I love it too. I’m feeling very, very blessed. But also? Very, […]
I’ve been trying to get a good video of Sydney dancing, because it’s darn cute. But, as you’ll see, she gets distracted pretty easily. Usually it’s her interest in the camera itself, and this particular night, Trent let her sit by the computer, so she was fascinated with the volume control. But you can get […]
Like any mother, I cannot come upon my child’s birthday without remembering the details of that child’s day of birth and pregnancy. Today is the FOURTH anniversary of Carson’s entrance into our lives! I didn’t blog then, so I feel the right to share the abridged story. 🙂 I had an easy pregnancy physically, but […]
So, I feel like I have used this blog on many occasions to rant/share my frustrations with my challenging son. And while I have many more of those type of tear-my-hair-out stories that I could post, I thought I’d give you a couple goodies. First, Carson’s preschool teacher, Mrs. M, told Daddy today that Carson […]
