Apple loves to do puzzles, and spends the majority of his time putting them together. It is always a hoot to sit back and watch–and listen to!–him while he works, because he sings and talks to himself. He even makes up his own songs (what a talented 2-year-old) Hilarious! Today, he was singing “Twinkle, Twinkle…

Kid math
Here’s a simple addition fact that just occurred to me: 1 mom + 5 kids does not equal 6. Most of the time it comes out to a lot more than that. Somehow kids seem to multiply. Where there are a few kids, a few more will show up. Now, I’m not complaining. I love…
Bedtime…
Before I get into my little vent about bedtime, I had to show off a few pictures that I took of the four younger kids at the park the other day. I didn’t get exactly what I wanted (Noodle was the only one that was really cooperative–she has got to be most photogenic child) but…
My Top 5
I woke up thinking about making a list of my favorite things. My list should probably go something like this: 1) Kiwi, 2) Noodle, 3) Taco, 4) Reese, and 5) Apple. They’re my life, right? Right. But, believe it or not, there are a few more things that make me tick. This list is not…
Happy Birthday to ME!
I decided last month that I would do something for myself on my birthday….I didn’t feel like leaving the day up to fate. The first thing I did was to set up a little birthday lunch with a few friends. Yum! What a treat! I went into lunch with a headache (from a combination of…
Picking Pumpkins in 94 Degrees??
We made it to the pumpkin patch yesterday. Our annual trip to the pumpkin patch is one of my favorite times to take pictures (and probably my favorite pictures to scrapbook). Candyman and I love to look back at our yearly trips and compare the clothes we were wearing…Some years we’ve got short sleeves, and…
My big surprize….
No, I’m not expecting again. This is even better. :) Actually, a lot of people already know about my little secret. The big deal is that the kids don’t know. I’m still shocked that I’ve been able to keep a secret from them for so long… CandyMan and I are going on a cruise in…
What a morning!
The day started out pretty good, actually. KitKat got herself up, made her breakfast and lunch and was completely ready for school by 6:55. Since CandyMan was already gone to an early morning meeting, we relaxed a little, talked about her hiccups that wouldn’t go away, and read together. She was about to go out…
It’s Comcastic!
Woohoo! We are up and running with Comcast. The Comcast technician got to our house this morning at 9:30 and was literally working til 1:30 to hook up our phones and computers. Jeez! I hope they don’t charge us by the hour for installation. I’m crossing my fingers that everything will run smoothly. Today has…
Let’s get started!
I’ve been itching to start a blog for months now but I have been internet-deprived since July, and waiting to get a high speed line back. Comcast is supposed to install a cable line tomorrow (cross your fingers for me!). Being online right now drives me a little batty. Today, there’s about a three-word delay…
