As life gets crazy, you know how it is, when you feel pulled in hundreds of different directions, sometimes ya just feel like flopping down on the floor. This could be completed with one hand on the forehead and a moan of exhaustion. (Or Kevin might just be talking on the phone to his mom and I am just making that other stuff up.) You may be joined in your flopping by others. But, clearly, things can quickly get out of control once again. Some days, don't you just feel like you are the one ... Read Full Story

I told her, "No. And I don't want to hear any whining or bugging me about it."Surprisingly her reception of my comments seemd rather compliant.

How could you not when lots of your favorite things are happening...lots of food, football, etc. In fact, Chubby sat on my lap for most of the ga... Read Full Story

Let's call her "Hilda".Assemble: Princess added yarn hair to a paper plate after I had cut a hole out for... Read Full Story
Apparently I needed a longer break than I had anticipated! Here it is September 1st and I am not quite sure what happened to August. Here are a few pictures from our trip that I won't be bothering to chronicle. We had a wonderful time visiting family and friends. The only drawback was not being ready to go home yet when it was time to go! One of the things that Chubby really enjoyed was being able to see a bunch of baby goats in an up close and personal kind of way. Some of us went and saw so... Read Full Story
