Yesterday we spent two hours sitting in a conference for church. It was wonderful for us adults, but 2 hours in a meeting can be tough for kids. I brought along a few blank pieces of paper to keep the kids occupied, and here are two of the products of that meeting… Taco made a…

My perfect 2 year old!
Peanut Butter came out of the kitchen chuckling this morning. He said that he’d walked in the kitchen to find Apple with his head tilted back, pouring an envelope of powdered vanilla instant breakfast into his mouth. PB said to him, “Hmm…Pure sugar!” Apple said, “No…Vanilla!” It got me thinking about my comment yesterday about…
Report Cards
I have to have a quick proud mom moment…Kiwi got her first middle school report card back today. Straight A’s! Not only did she get awesome grades, but she is taking all honors classes, including a high-school credit Spanish class. Yay Kwi! Noodle has improved tons this year! Last year, she struggling with reading, and…
The good, the bad, & the ugly
I did it! I exercised today! I felt great afterwards (halfway through the workout I couldn’t say the same). It was a success, and I feel positive. We had a good dinner, everybody finished their homework without a fight, and the kids helped me fold laundry while we watched an episode of Little House together….

I needed to write something happy so I didn’t go to bed feeling down after my last post…So here are two things that I am happy about today. First, Kiwi has been looking for a long-term “job” at home that she could do to earn a school sweatshirt. I finally came up with something yesterday…
Motivation
Well, guys, I need some help. I was doing a pretty good job meeting my exercise goal (I really want to look and feel good when I leave on my cruise in December). I had a great routine down–I exercised to videos 4 days a week after Reese left for preschool and Apple went down…
Happy Halloween!
Halloween was fun this year…The best part of the day was the moment that I realized that this was the first time in 7 years that I was not a room mother, in charge of the parties. What a liberating feeling! I was able to relax and enjoy the school’s costume parade (it seemed so…
You’ve got to see this!
I apologize for posting two videos in a row, but I caught this Halloween dance last night and just had to share. We have a CD of Halloween Party music, and the kids have not wanted to listen to anything else all week. Even Apple asks for “Mon’ter Mash.” Twizzler was SO serious about his…
