R has been in the habit of preparing his own breakfast these days. He pops the Eggos in the toaster, microwaves his own oatmeal, pours his own milk. Keep in mind he is three. NOT an ideal situation really. He’s just so darn sneaky.
Today I was reminding everyone that a grown up needs to be [...]

White Christmas…22 Days Late
Can you believe it? It’s snowing here in the good ole South. Get out and buy as much milk and bread as possible, then hunker down while we wait out this wintry mix. Here are some very blurry pics I took just now…

Sometime, Somewhere in this House ~ The Series
Time for another stroll down memory lane.
My oldest, G, was not quite 3 years old when baby #4 was born. He was a very, very busy and challenging boy and keeping up with him alone was difficult, but factor in a set of one year old twins and a newborn and you’ve got a recipe for all sorts of [...]

Just catching you up
Riding in the car on the way to church R is busy playing his Leapster. Hubby and I are chatting and then from the back we hear:
Mooom, you guys are making me lose my focus.
Oh, I see. We’ll be quiet now.

Just Another Tender Moment
Little R sidled up to hubby the other day, just itching to be silly and playful with dad. He climbed up into his lap and tried to tickle hubby, then moved on to poking and prodding him in the eyes, ears and nose. You know, the usual drill. He became very interested in hubby’s mouth [...]
