From the mouths of babes

A while back, I told Laura that I did not wear shoes when I got married.  Instead, I just went barefoot.  Tonight in the car on the way to Hudson, she brought this up again.  She then elaborated on it.  “Mommy, you need to get white shoes to match your dress.  Then you need to […]

New Places

I took the kids to the library this morning.  It was the first time I had taken Warren.  Laura hadn’t been there in a long time.  The last time I took her she threw a fit because she couldn’t stay and play with the toys.  This time went much better.  We made it for LEGO […]

Water World

The kids were begging to go outside this morning.  It was starting to warm up quickly.  I decided to pull out the sprinkler.  Laura loved it.  I was a bit surprised that she would.  She didn’t like it at all last year.  Warren didn’t like it at all.  I think it was a combination of […]

Great Weekend

This weekend has turned out much better than I had imagined.  We ended up selling our U2 tickets we had for Saturday night’s concert.  Robert was worried about getting heat exhaustion again (had a mild case of it on Friday).  The concert was at TCF stadium, which is outdoors.  With selling our tickets, we were […]

Not Dead

I’m not dead.  I just haven’t had the time/ambition/motivation to post much lately.  I need to write tonight to get things out of my head.  I should be in a great mood.  I had a day out with my two best friends.  We did a beginner’s pole dancing class together.  I loved it and had […]

All consuming…

I have a text editor open at the moment of various blog topics I wanted to touch on.  However, that isn’t going to happen right now.  I am exhausted.  We’ve been pushing really hard this last week on getting the bedrooms in the basement done.  It really all started with carpet shopping last weekend.  I […]

The Party’s Over

If Laura had her way, she’d still be celebrating her birthday.  She had a blast, minus the minor fall.  The poor girl has my grace.  For birthdays 1, 2, and 4, she has fallen and gotten serious bumps.  Her first birthday she fell off the bed onto the concrete floor in the basement.  Her second […]

Birthday Party!

We are having Laura’s 4th birthday party today.  It’ll be a good size crowd, but there aren’t many other kids coming.  Caitlin and Ryan will come with Owen.  Joe will bring Johanna.  I debated inviting one of her friends from daycare, but I decided that we’ll hold off for one more year.  She hasn’t been […]

Another Good Day

Today was another good day for me.  Warren had a follow-up appointment with the ped. urologist.  Robert just took the day off so he could be at the appointment and have a day with us.  The appointment went well.  The cream worked, but the foreskin is still a bit tight.  We aren’t going to continue […]

Wonderful Sunday

Today was one of the best days that I’ve had in a very long time.  We decided to skip church this morning since we had so much we wanted to get done around the house.  Robert started off our day with making waffles.  I had one with 2 strips of bacon.  I decided that I’d […]
