I’ve been tagged!
My sister, Andrea, has “tagged” me (that’s the 2 of us together to the left), which means (I guess!) that I need to write 6 facts/habits about myself….and then tag 6 of my friends. Since I did my 5 favorite things last month, I will try to be different this time and maybe include some…
Take a deep breath….
Well, as of about 11:20 am today, my secret is out. Woohoo! It was really hard for me not to tell everyone about my new “assignment”….. About a week and a half ago, our Bishop asked me to be the Primary President in our ward (for those of you not familiar with the lingo, I’ll…
Cows get no respect
This morning at breakfast, Noodle surprized me with this comment… “This milk is from cows that were not treated with respect.” Trying to supress a laugh, I turned around and asked her what she meant. Squinting at the milk carton, she pointed at a little bubble. “See, Mom, it says that the cows were not…
What’s for dinner?
Tradition….. Yesterday, I mentioned to PB that I was thinking of making a different apple pie. My friend, Karen, gave me an apple pie recipe that I tried out in October and loved. I figured that I’d made my old recipe for every holiday meal for the last 21 years (boy does that make me…
Happy Thanksgiving!
We had a fabulous Thanksgiving with our friends, Stacy and Dave, and my sister and brother-in-law. Seven adults, 11 kids, and tons of food! Best of all, Peanut Butter’s trip to Kuwait was postponed so that he was home for the holiday. On Wednesday, I was able to help out at Taco’s 1st grade Thanksgiving…
Jumpin’ in the leaves!
I sure wish the warm weather was still around! Still, the kids enjoyed some time outside today on their day off school. Noodle asked if she could rake leaves after breakfast…How could I say no? When I went to check on her, she was raking leaves in the common area to the side of our…
Drum roll, please…..
Peanut Butter started a new job today!! What a wonderful beginning to Thanksgiving week. It feels like it’s been a really long time in coming, but I do believe that we are stronger for the trials of the last 4 years or so. Let me tell you, working in a commission payed/self-employed job has been…
The end of an age
Tuesday was a big day for me. With a strange burst of energy, I made a hasty decision that the crib was coming down. Apple has been climbing out of the crib for months now and several weeks ago, Apple started refusing to nap in his crib (he developed a preference to my bed–don’t blame…
Wish list & Queen Mommy
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…
