Scarlet Fever. . .

Twenty-two diapers in four days is when I quit counting.  I’m not looking for pitty, I’m not wanting anything. . .I just want to say this sucks.  The 2008 Red River Bike Rally was cancelled for me when we took Ellie to the doctor and found out she had Scarlet Fever.  The tripped we deemed [...]

Mother’s Day. . .

So I went through my pictures, roughly a couple of thousands of pictures that is, to find a picture of my first Mother’s Day.  For some reason, the batteries always fell out of my camera back then and I never reset the date.  Many of the pictures have the date January 4, 2004.  Seeing as [...]

here kitty, kitty. . .

So my friend/next door neighbor called me and said that we had kittens in our backyard.  They were stuck between our joining fence and our shed.  Anyone that knows me knows that I am not a cat person.  The only cats I would have would be hairless, teethless, clawless and that’s just really not nice [...]

picnic time. . .

This was a couple weeks ago, but the girls finally got to have their first picnic outside.  Dustin put together their sandbox while the girls had chicken pot pie and juice boxes (before we realized Ellie was allergic to the juice boxes).  Maybe not the most picnic-friendly food, but it was a spur of the [...]

In our pantry is where all the fruit snacks, pudding, goldfish, other various flavors of crackers, maybe some cookies, chips, mini boxes of cereal, individual packages of peaches and pears. . .pretty much anything you can think of, it’s in their.  And apparently either Ellie can now open the pantry door or another culprit that [...]

my zoo animals. . .

Last Friday, I took the girls to the zoo to meet a friend.  I probably took a picture a minute because it took 20 minutes to go through the zoo and I think there was roughly 20 pictures total.  Emma’s pictures were, “CHEESE!  I’m having the best time ever!”  And Ellie’s pictures were more, “Che. [...]

the snuggli/choker. . .

This is what inspired me to buy a bike trailer/stroller.  The should not call it a “Snuggli.”  To snuggle is to cuddle or press closely as for comfort.  Apparently when they designed this “must have purchase” for moms, a mom was not used for the back pack portion of the Snuggli.  As a mom with [...]

last day of gymnastics. . .

Emma’s last day of gymnastics was last Tuesday.  So until the middle of June, I really am a STAY-at-home Mom.  Tuesday always gave me an excuse to go into town because of gymnastics, but dance doesn’t start for a while, so I am left to my own creativity of keeping my children and the other [...]
