First trip to Jumpy Gym/Mary Moore Searight Park

We’d never really been to a place like this except maybe once when J was a baby and NM was invited to a friend’s birthday party. A warehouse full of different jump houses? Right up my boys’ alley! Can’t tell, can you? We were with some of our friends from church so the boys had [...]

I <3 These Boys

“Why do you have the heart thing in that?” “I just want the practice, my baby.” (The thought of how fast you are growing up sometimes makes me heartsick) “Take my picture too! Oh wait, I want to ride my bike. Don’t take too long!” “Just stand still and it will go very fast.” (Not [...]

Soccer Game + What Is Up With Us

God is good! NM’s soccer team had their second game of the season this past weekend. Now, to be honest, I have no idea what the final score was, whether 3-1 or 2-1 (I think it was the latter). They were disappointed to say the least. BUT I was beside myself. NM played goalie in [...]

Snow? Let it!

Today was a snow day! All about J’s snow day: At first, it started snowing. Next thing, after that we went out back and out front and we did a snowball fight. I would say four snow ball fights but I don’t remember if it was more. After that we went on a scooter ride. [...]

Sunday Walk

The weather yesterday was so gorgeous it would have been a shame to spend it indoors with chores. Everything had been wet for a few days. Not raining, mind you, just a constant, heavy mist that saturated the ground and made for lots of pretty dew and made us rejoice in the sunshine and 70s [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day

Remembering what it’s all about. And no, I don’t mean the hokey pokey. P.S. Click on picture for bigger, better Flickr goodness.

Things Happen

And not necessarily nice things, either! This past week sure fits the definition of “doozy.” Just briefly: ~ Hubby was gone ALL week, Sunday (!) through Saturday afternoon. Work took two weekend days. ~ The puppy was hurt when the play with the boys was a little bit too rough. She cried. She limped. She [...]

Sleepover

Hi, I’m reporting from near the trenches of the big event. I’ll be updating as events unfold. Or don’t unfold. Earlier today, we welcomed R over for a sleepover. When my friend called to ask if we were up for it, the boys were curious as to who was on the phone and why so [...]

Working on Christmas

We stopped by Michael’s so I could get the boys some notebook materials and stumbled upon a little kit to make a foam nativity set. You have no idea now little thing like this make me giddy. I wanted them to make something this Christmas but the idea of ornaments for the tree just wasn’t [...]

Today

Sad? Yes. Very hurt tummy. But it was very much helped by a BIG breakfast with second seconds. I’m hoping that’s all it is because it won’t be fun to travel with a sick little boy. Been there, done that! *** This past weekend: ~ Happy Friday because Abba came home and we immediately headed [...]
