Because I feel like it

Pip got me tickets to this guy’s concert in November.  I’m pretty excited.

I was going to get all negative and post another “Things I hate about Public Schools”, but I think I’ll try to go with positive instead.  See how good I am?
Things I’m loving this week:
My new car
We did this (awhile ago, but still) and it was really so fun.  We might just do it once [...]

TM’s 2 cents

TM (while walking to the car): “Mommy, you look nice in white.”
Me: “Thanks buddy.”
TM: “Yeah, but you’re not wearing white.  You’re wearing black and black does not look nice on you.”
Me: “Um, well thank you for being honest.”

I spy…trouble ahead

We are on Spring Break this week.  Because of that and the temperature being 70 degrees I took the kids and a friend of DQ (a boy) to the zoo.  In the backseat on the way home I heard this:
DQ: “Let’s play I Spy.”
Boy (we’ll call him B): “Ok.  I spy something blue.”
DQ and TM [...]

Spring

Spring is here and after the long freezing winter it feels so good.

We have had a lot going on here the last month, and I simply have not had time to blog about it all.  Rather than backtrack I’m going to start afresh.  I made some Wee Bunnies for the kids’ baskets.  They are super [...]

1) At fast food restaurants I do [...]

Merry Christmas!

It’s our first white Christmas here with about 6 inches so far.  Have a very Merry Christmas.  I hope your day is filled with all manner of wonder.

Christmas is in full swing

Yesterday when Pip got home, it marked the beginning of 11 days together with no work and no school.  Yippee!  To celebrate we decorated Christmas cookies.  Last year I tried to get all Martha with my Christmas cookies, and was very protective with my decorations.

This year, I decided that though last years were pretty, it’s [...]

Frosty

The Christmas Waltz 
Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa’s on his way,
He’s filled his sleigh
With things, things for you and for me
It’s that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear
Seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and [...]

The Halloween Post

Ahhhh…Halloween.  I remember as a kid loving Halloween so much that I would start thinking about the next year’s costume on November 1st.  Good Times.  I was reflecting on this while driving the kids to school and listening to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” on the radio when the kids started fighting in the backseat.  I was [...]
