At lunch today, I told the kids that after naps we would spend a little time cleaning up. Sloan’s response:“Mom, I don’t think I can clean up today. Sorry. My knee hurts, and it’s telling my tummy to hurt a little bit too and I think my heart is also a little bit hurting so […]

I am overwhelmed. “Why?” you ask. Well, to start, my house is literally a pig sty. Seriously, we are living in filth. And I am frustrated that it’s so totally nasty in here. “Well, why don’t you just clean up?” you say. My answer to that is this: I don’t know how to clean with […]

A different sort of date night

*update: A few have asked how we found out about this – We got a random email from someone we don’t even know that they were shooting in the area and needed extras. We applied and were accepted. Lee’s application words were something to the effect of, “ruggedly handsome man, 6’2″, athletic build. Has a […]

A new issue has recently cropped up with Sloan, which isn’t really fair because we haven’t fully broken him of his other issues. One behavioral problem at a time please! But he’s recently discovered the art of lying. For instance, the other day, when I asked who brought the baseball bat in the house, he […]

The pictures in this post will definately make their wedding video’s one day. I made attempt number two at finger painting this afternoon. We used the paints up. I’ll not be buying more.

That was the phrase on a bracelet that I saw in Branson this weekend. What a fun weekend we had. Very relaxing with a bunch of fun thrown in. But visiting Branson is a trip. Right next to the bracelet mentioned in the title was another one that said Give Unto Others and Much Shall […]
