I came across this short video today, and decided to be weird and share it with you guys. This is Twizzler in 2005, and I am floored by how much he looks like AJ. I always thought they looked so different. I was actually challenged this week by my friends at the Blog Frog to…
What Am I Going To Do With This Kid?
AJ has developed a few very odd habits lately. When he first made this odd sound with his throat, I figured it was a fluke, or a way to get everyone to laugh (he’s the classic age for craving attention). But he has continued. He makes the noise most frequently in the afternoon when he’s…
Chick Chat Sisters
You will be able to tell right away that my sister Andrea (The Hatchers and Their Hatchling and Andrea Marie Photo) is way cooler than me. And despite the fact that we are both photographers, we are NOT very handy with the video camera. Seriously, I think we had 8 takes and about 2 hours…
Playing Catch Up
My plans for today got cancelled, so I am playing blog catch up. I added a few new recipes to Family Food and am in the process of adding photos to my Project 365 Blog. And after I’m done with that, I’ll have a new post for you here. Meanwhile, AJ is playing with Bratz….
May Your Weekend Begin on a Happy Note
I hope you can enjoy your kids this weekend, and hopefully find a little sunshine. After watching this short video from Fishful Thinking, I am going to snuggle with AJ and enjoy the sunny weather today. This just makes me feel good inside. I hope it does the same for you.
Team work
One of my favorite Christmas memories as a kid and now that I have my own children is making caramel. Each year it gets a little easier for me as the kids get a little more capable and helpful. I was shocked at how much AJ was able to wrap! The other kids are pros…
Spotlight on Necco
Every once in a while it’s fun to spotlight one of the kids. Today the spotlight is on Necco. During the last year or so, she has really blossomed, and we have become so close. I am proud to say that she has shown an interest in a lot of the things that I love….
Ahhh….the middle school holiday concert
Can you believe I was crazy enough to drag all 4 younger kids to Kit Kat’s middle school chorus concert tonight? Not only did I make them sit through the concert, but we got there 45 minutes early because I was NOT going to drive all the way home and back again after dropping KitKat…
HE’S a Brick House!
You might have to turn the volume up on this one for the full effect. I thought you might enjoy seeing what our morning was like today. At the very end of the video, notice the tall cup of milk on the counter. That’s the one that Al accidentally hit and spilled all over the…
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. :)
