My favorite picture from tonight. Look at those eyes! Not only did we decorate Easter eggs tonight, but I got to try out my brand new, just came in the mail this afternoon, lens! I LOVE the feel of it (even Dale commented on it!) and I am pretty happy with my first-try results. St…

How do YOU celebrate EASTER?
A conversation I had this weekend with some friends got me thinking about Easter traditions, so I thought I’d share what our family does. First of all, a week or two before Easter, we decorate eggs. I will probably hard boil at least 2 dozen eggs today so that we will have plenty to dye….
Happy St. Patty’s Day!
Are you wearing green? We are!
* 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 * Reese is Five * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 *
Here are the cake pictures, as promised! I ended up spending all day yesterday in my pjs, alternating between reading and sleeping. I felt awful! Luckily, I had a frozen meal to heat up, and I had bought the cake on Monday (I usually make the cakes, but I didn’t feel like it this time!)….
Happy Birthday, Reese!!
Today is Reese’s 5th birthday. Today was set to be a very busy day, so we decided to do her “party” last night. Reese was determined to have her birthday at Chuck E Cheese’s (don’t know why she decided on CEC–we hardly ever go there!) and so we headed up there with my sister and…
What a surprise!!
On Friday night at 9:50, I was sitting at my computer watching Lost and crocheting a blanket when “DING DONG!”….there was someone at my front door. Since I was not expecting anybody, and I was home alone (with 5 kids, of course!) I was a little freaked out. I quietly walked upstairs and peeked out…
If I Live to be 100
Today has been a lazy day. I was up too late last night, and so I was tired. So after Noodle’s dentist appointment this morning, I spent most of the rest of the school day reading. My current book is called If I Live to be 100 – Lessons from the Centenarians. I am loving…
Freezing our tooshies off!
The last few days have been BEAUTIFUL here in MD. So when a friend called up and asked if we wanted to meet her at a park this morning, I said “SURE!” I didn’t even bundle everyone up….it was sunny and the skies were blue. Whod’ve thought that the breeze would be so cold? Despite…
Missing Daddy
We’ve been missing Peanut Butter since he’s been in Egypt these last 2 weeks. Everyone has been very excited to see him again tomorrow. Yep, tomorrow’s the big day when Daddy comes home! Except that I just got an e-mail from PB saying that they have to stay another week. That’s right, I get to…
Sleep-over!
With Peanut Butter being gone for 2 weeks, and my brother-in-law taking finals, it was the perfect week for a sleep-over! My sister Andrea and her daughter Vanessa came to stay with us Monday and Tuesday. We had so much fun with them! For FHE on Monday night, we tried out my new fondue pot….
