the pirate and the chicken. . .

You would think this is the start of a joke, but no.  This would be the Halloween costumes Emma has chosen for herself and for Ellie.  Emma being the pirate and Ellie being the chicken.  Ellie was a little out voted because when we said raise your hand if you want Ellie to be a [...]

Bow Head. . .continued again

   
Dude, once you put all the children and your husband to bed and sit down in a quiet living room, you can get a lot of stuff done.  A couple nights a week, I’ll stay up and work on some of the bows.  You know it’s football season and the entire town goes to [...]

for everything else. . .

tickets for high school football game:  $7
drinks and snacks:  $10
“Future Cheerleader” infant shirt:  $12
Panther toddler uniform:  $50
watching your 3-year-old daughter practice “GO PANTHEYS” (her E-Rs come out as E-Ys) all week so she’s ready for the big game:  priceless

Ellie and the veggie puff. . .

     
The life of a veggie puff, like the fish in our house, is short lived.  If you are a Gerber Graduates Finger Foods puffed grains with real fruit, you have no chance.  And if the older sister is in charge of distribution of said veggie puffs, you’re SOL.  I’ll give Ellie her pureed [...]

it’s 5 o’clock somewhere. . .

I’m not saying I condone underage drinking, but Emma and I had “Pina Coloda Hour” at the Casa de Tow this evening.  She got the batch before the coconut rum was added, but still in a neat glass with a fresh pineapple wedge.  Hey, it’s all about presentation.  I bought the fruit smoothie concentrate from [...]

Lost in Lefors. . .

      
Dustin went on his poker run this weekend and wanted us to come down there too.  I loaded up the girls and we got to Lefors by lunch time.  Emma was so excited to see all the motorcycles.  Everytime we see or rather hear one on the road, Emma always assumes that [...]

Seriously. . .

Like I said before, by no means am I a professional photographer, but c’mon.  I endured yet another (second month in a row) session of crappy pictures.  Why do I keep getting the girls that don’t know what they’re doing.  Every picture is off centered with more of the background than of Ellie.  Seriously, when [...]

made with love. . .

   
So, I decided to spend a little quality time with Emma and make cookies after dinner last week.  I know it matters what the food looks like to eat, but when it comes to cookies, mine don’t look good.  I can make a mean pot roast in the winter, lasagna from scratch and my [...]

Have you had your spanking today???

I am a magazine junkie and have a couple of subscriptions to various publications.  My favorite would have to be Parents magazine.  It has great articles, ideas for upcoming holidays and funny stories that help you realize some parent always has it worse.  One of the articles that caught my eye; however, really irritated me.  We [...]

and the saga continues. . .

     
Creativity is pouring from my fingertips. . .or it could be confused with not having much of a life, but hey the glass is half full in my mind.  So I got a couple of more bows done for this upcoming weekend.  I think it’s the fact that I can take a [...]
