QUARANTINE. . .

Well, three out of four Tows have the flu at our house.  Emma and I both had a really bad headache Monday afternoon/evening and by bedtime, Emma was running a fever and crying because her head was hurting so bad.  She was up at three in the morning, coming in to our room to go to the [...]

Princess Ellie’s Underwater Kingdom. . .

Let me just say that my girls have the coolest rooms a kiddo could want.  Ellie’s “pish” room turned out better than I could have ever imagined.  Ellie’s Great Aunt Debbie did awesome! 
I made the mistake of telling Debbie she had the easy job of just painting the black and white on zebra fish because I [...]

cheerleading camp. . .

In order to cheer at the football game with the high school cheerleaders, Emma had to go to the Panther Cheerleading Camp on Saturday morning a couple of weekends ago.  Good thing we are used to getting up so early because we were the first ones at the gym. . .apparently I misread the paper and took 8:30 [...]

1st day of “gynaskicks”

Emma is just like her Mama and Daddy.  I don’t have to worry about her not knowing anyone in the room she’s in because within five minutes, she’ll know six other people and what they had for lunch and their favorite color.  In other words, we make friends easily.  My youngest [...]

1st day of Kindergarten. . .

What a day today!  Emma was the only brave one of the bunch that didn’t shed a tear when she went into her Kindergarten class today.  And no, I’m not referring to her classmates, I’m referring to her Mama and sister.  Ellie was a mess last night because her and Emma have shared a bedroom [...]

don’t stop til’ you drop. . .

The title of this blog entry about sums up our family vacation this summer.  Dustin and I are alike when it comes to going on vacation.  We DON’T hang out in the hotel room.  We plan things to do every day because if we wanted to watch TV, we would stay at home rather than be [...]

silly Ellie. . .

The many faces of Ellie makes us laugh everyday.  Looking back at some of the pictures I’ve taken in the last month or two, it never fails that a few photos will have Ellie’s personality.  She makes me laugh, she makes me want to pull my hair out, but at the end of the day [...]

Casa de Tow. . .

On any given day I will take anywhere from three to 63 pictures.  Depending on the mood of my children. . .whether or not they have had a nap depends on the type of pictures I take.  We were outside enjoying a wonderful warm evening with NO wind.  Okay there was a little wind, but [...]

cowgirl day. . .

A few days before school let out, Emma’s class had Cowboy/Cowgirl Day.  Smores were involved and Emma was in heaven.  Ellie got to skip her nap for the day, so she too was in heaven as well.  Not to mention the prospect of getting a smore did intrigue Ellie somewhat.  Enjoy!

Even cowgirls worry about their [...]

Hoppy Easter. . .

Today was Emma’s Pre-K Easter Party.  The school was letting out at noon, so Emma’s normal afternoon class came at 8:00 a.m. this morning and the normal morning class didn’t have school today.  The two classes switch throughout the year when there is an early release and I’m so grateful that I didn’t sign up [...]
