There is absolutely no reason to title this post El Sol.  It doesn’t mean anything, but there’s no way I could come up with a title that would encompass everything we’ve done since my last post, unless I went with “Everything We’ve Done Since My Last Post.”  Boring…  I prefer El Sol.

I’m not [...]

I used to like packing boxes and moving, but that was before I had two, two year olds.  Now I’d rather be taking them to the library and cuddling all day instead of packing boxes.

However, our house is closed.  We’re temporarily moved.  Our garage sale is over.  Our 10th anniversary trip is days away and [...]

Just a picture post, since we are way too busy around here to do anything else right now.

My girls sleeping in their tent this weekend.  It was a HUGE hit!

Soft sounds don’t make up for the root word. – Yesterday PBS had a clip featuring a little girl named Latrina.  The name flows off the tongue beautifully, and it looks really feminine with the la and the ina.  BUT, when you hear the name Latrina don’t you immediately wonder if the parents came up [...]

Lately, Skyler has become attached to a Disney store sack and is calling it her purse.  It’s with her at all times and she fills it with all the things she needs or wants around her.  Usually it’s things like her elephant, her sippy cup, & her blankie.  Sometimes though, her choices are a little [...]

Aren’t they really all just a bunch of “Harry Johnsons”?

Makes me laugh every time I take this street.

In order to plan this week’s date, I really tried to think, “What could we do that would make us feel closer than ever?  What would make me forget about the fact that Ping is a constant TV channel flipper and he won’t throw his own floss away?  Would it be a good idea to [...]

I’m not sure what it is about me that causes birds to want to die.  Maybe my body produces some weird chemical that drives them insane.  Don’t get me wrong.  I hate birds.  I think they are annoying, loud, pooping, pests.  I have no problem with them committing suicide around me.  Go to town, birds! [...]

Today was the girls’ first dance class!  I was excited and I kept talking to them about it.  I dressed them up cute and took pictures the whole time, of course.

Sydney just being adorable.

Showing me some dance moves.

I have to admit it…  I’ve really been a crappy date planner.  We committed to this thing, and honestly, so far, Ping’s dates have been much better than mine.  Mostly that’s because my months have coincided with things that made date nights nearly impossible, and also because I’ve been too lax about it.  Which shows [...]
