A groovy weekend of firsts

My kids are sitting on the couch right now watching Little House on the Prairie. And my heart is melting at the thought. That show brings back such a feeling of nostalgia. I get teary at nearly every episode – I’m such a girl. I wasn’t sure they would like it because it’s a little […]

Fun with Poladroids

I found this new application thanks to Dana and Gregg. You just drag and drop your photos into the little polaroid camera icon and it develops them right in front of you like a good ole’ Polaroid. It’s very fun – like I need anything else to be addicted to. Anyway, if you want to […]

Things that made me laugh

They say that every time you laugh you burn, like, 100 calories or something like that. They also say that laughter produces endorphins, which, well I’m not exactly sure what those do, but it’s some pretty good stuff. So, today I pass on a little calorie burning, endorphin boosting good cheer to you all. Which, […]

Boredom leads to strange things

Sloan and I were bored this afternoon and the Star Wars figures were sitting in the doll house. We had a good old time making up a very bizarre story.     The Epic Battle Gone Terribly Awry Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away, there was a young Jedi knight, Master […]

Lee the Barbarian

So far, we’ve caught two mice on the glue boards that are sitting out by the dog food. The first one was still alive and shimmied himself underneath the car. For a brief moment I was afraid we had teenage mutant ninja mice who had outsmarted us and stolen a glueboard. Had that been the […]

We are not alone in this house…bam, bam, baaaammmm Yes, it appears that some furry little friends have decided to make their winter home in my basement. This is not cool with me. I don’t do small things that scurry about well. If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you probably know […]

A Lapse in Judgment

When daddy is out of town, I try to do things that are a little different – partly to take the kids’ minds off the fact that he is gone and mostly to keep myself from going completely wacky. Tonight, since it is the only real down night that we have, I decided to do […]

New Year, New Goals

Okay, it’s time to set some goals for the coming year. I fell into a nasty trap the last half of 2008 where I was lazy and completely unproductive. It’s amazing how the start of a new year can give you so much energy and adrenaline. So what exactly are my new year’s resolutions? I’ve […]

Snippets – With Multimedia

We’ve had such a wonderful two weeks. I am a little sad that it’s all over now and life must go on as usual. Lee leaves tomorrow morning for Phoenix for the week and the kids and I are back in the daily grind. This weekend was our last Harrah and we have thoroughly enjoyed […]

Happy New Year

Lee and I rang in the New Year in style last night. Every year, we have the same group of friends over to our house and enjoy some good fellowship and food. This year, however, for some reason it just fell through. People got sick, they couldn’t find sitters, etc… So Lee and I found […]
