Art Night

In Preschool they used to send home an art project and asked you to purchase from a list of merchandise depicting the art work (I have a bunch of trivets with the kiddos preschool scribblings – which makes them sound silly and meaningless, but it’s quite the opposite, I love those drawings). OK, so I…

Monster Jammin’

Mondays, for right now are crazy busy. There’s school, then work, for a bit, then pickup, dance, then race to the house, get Connor and it’s soccer practice for both. By the time I got to the field last week, I wasn’t sure what end was up (and did lose my car keys). Connor had…

A day in the life of…

No complaints about today – only that it had to end (and that I can sense allergy season coming on). We spent most of the day outside and enjoyed some rousing games of hide and go seek (although at this age, it’s really just about the “go seek” because the hiding is not all that…

Saturday morning turned out chillier than even I anticipated. For some reason they had everyone 6 and under together – which was convenient for us…

Mornin’ cutie

We’ve gotten into a routine lately where Connor comes into my room the minute he hears the garage door open. He runs to the window, watches his daddy leave and then jumps into my bed.

First glimpses of Spring

After all the snow (nothing compared to the North, but a lot for us nonetheless), we all welcomed a lukewarm afternoon. The kids decided they wanted to wash their car (the mini) and then they wanted the hose out to wash my car (very much needed, although I think their efforts might have made it…

Snowpocolapse, part 2

Ok, so that’s a gross overstatement for most northern states, but for us in the Carolinas, 8 inches of snow was significant.   So I took the day off from work so I could enjoy it with the kiddos – I mean you only live once.   Look who was posing for the camera.  Meet Baxter,…
