KitKat had her 12th birthday party last night. Four of her friends came over for pizza, lots of junk food (including midnight s’mores that I joined them for), cake & ice cream, and oodles of giggles. Two of the girls stayed over for the night. It’s a wonder I’m alive today. I haven’t heard so…
CRAZY? ….Or genius?
I was thinking about what I should blog about today…..The fact that I can hardly keep my eyes open today because I keep staying up WAY TOO LATE? Or maybe I could document my trip to Costco with my friend, Safire, and the fun I had wearing one of her twins in a baby wrap…
Homecoming….and Mr. McFeely
Daddy’s home! The trade show in Florida was a big success. Yipee! And now we’re happy to have Daddy home. He brought a few treats home from Nana and Grandpap’s trips to Alaska, including a book about a Grandparent’s visit to Alaska. PB added his own, typical funny charm to the book, and they were…
Vintage ads. Wow!
This is absolutely hilarious and scary at the same time. It makes me grateful to be relatively sheltered from advertising. I’m sure a lot of what we do nowadays is not much better. You’ve got to see these vintage ads (click here!). I especially liked the one talking about the benefits of BEER for moms…
Cure for those melancholy days
This video was taken October 2005. Some of you may have seen this before. At any rate….Enjoy my cute kids. :)
Recently heard in my living room:
The scene: Taco is holding a rifle. Reese is dressed up in a fancy pink bridesmaid dress, holding a baby in her arms. Apple, distraught, is walking down the stairs, swinging a stick. Apple: “I’m a nice old lady! I’m a nice old lady!” Reese: “She tried to kill my baby!” Taco: “Why do you…
¿Nachos, anyone?
Tonight was laundry folding night, and if you know me well, you know that I watch movies while I fold laundry. And the kids fold their own laundry. The kids love laundry night because it means a movie on a school night. Yipee! Tonight’s movie was Nacho Libre. Listening to Taco’s laugh during the movie…
Kate’s birthday
We helped cute Kate celebrate her 2nd birthday this afternoon. As soon as we got to Kate’s pool, the little kids lined up on the edge. I tried to rush into the pool to take a picture, but of course, I wasn’t quite fast enough and the kids had already started to move. Dontcha just…
Ketchup
Twizzler has loved ketchup for a LONG time. We have given up telling him, “That’s too much ketchup! You don’t need that much ketchup!” because he REALLY does eat THAT much. He loves it. How many 7 year olds know the benefits of lycopene (or even know what it is)? Yeah, while he’s eating ketchup…
Sprayground, VA
Last week, we bombarded my sister’s house for the day. It was a HOT one, so we took the kids out for a quick stop at Wendy’s (everyone got a Frosty) and then for some cool play at the Sprayground. Everyone (even the older kids) had a good time (although Noodle and Kiwi purposely avoided…
