Our house is decorated inside and out!  For all of you nay-sayers who think it’s too early…  You are not the boss of me.  (Quoting my 1st grade self there.)  The girls love everything and it was a blast to watch them see it all for the first time.  Sydney wakes up asking for the [...]

To give you the proper perspective for this story, so you’ll know just how exciting this experience was, I’ll share with you a quote from Ping.  ”You know, I eat, that’s what I do.”  Penguin Jones, 2009

It shouldn’t really surprise you then that the highlight of his night, the trip, the month, and the year, [...]

Penguin and I left bright and early Friday morning for our first weekend away from the girls since, umm….  Well, ever.  He’s been away a few times, but I’ve never been gone for more than a night.  And as much as I missed my little munchkins, I have to say, the trip sort of [...]

Today was a fun day.  In addition to getting the girl’s pictures taken, I spent time with my mom at the mall.  We shopped, and shopped, and chatted each other’s ears off.  Skyler and Sydney were TERRIBLE at the picture place!  I would say that my kid are probably in the 97th percentile of well-behaved [...]

See this kid?  So far today, she’s split her time between playing pranks on me, coming to complain about her [...]

I was enjoying the morning quiet and getting a lot of work done, until the girls decided to wake up at 5:55 am for some reason.  I made them some waffles, and fruit and then I put them in the playroom so I could go get dressed for the day.  Not three minutes after I [...]

No, my old cups aren’t for sale.  And I can’t wait to find out why this for sale sign ended up in our cabinet!

October Halloween is what my brother used to say when people asked him when his birthday was.  Actually, it was more like Oc-a-tober Halloween.  I think he dropped the word October around age 5 or 6.  I didn’t like that very much.  But, he couldn’t stay little forever, I guess.

Here are some pictures of our [...]
