Oklamahoma. . .

No, I did not misspell Oklahoma, but according to Ellie, we went “Oklamahoma City” last month.  Rather than let me go to a huge craft show by myself, Dustin thought he ought to accompany me along with the girls for a little weekend vacation.  We really had a blast and I am now three for [...]

Pumpkin Patch 2009. . .

For the past five years, we have gone to a pumpkin patch, taken silly pictures involving said pumpkins and then I have posted in an email or on my blog.  This year was a little different.  Out of the five Saturdays we would go, here’s what happened. 
We do didn’t go the first Saturday of the month because [...]

Tooth Fairy/Molenator. . .

First Kindergarten, now she’s losing her teeth???  What’s next??  Emma’s too scared of needles to get a tattoo and piercing her ears hasn’t been the best experience, so hopefully we won’t have any more baby book entries any time soon!
It’s official, Emma was visited by the Molenator last Thursday.  Watch Santa Clause 2 and you’ll [...]

no more flu. . .

A few weeks ago, the flu bug hit our house and hit it hard.  Emma was out of school for a week, Ellie didn’t get to go to gynaskicks (gymnastics) and I was forced to stay at home, feel miserable and want pity.  My best friend Erin called and when I weakly said hello, she said, [...]

happy birthday Mama. . .

My birthday has come and gone and I’m now 28-years-old.  I still see myself in my early 20s, but my hair lady keeps pointing out my gray patches that seem to multiply everytime I get my hair cut or highlighted?!?  I want my future gray hair to look like Anne Bancroft in Keeping the Faith.  [...]

birthday party. . .

I got a copy of Dad’s pictures from all the happenings of this summer.  Due to the snow storm and post-poning Emma’s birthday party until June, here are some pictures from her swimming party.

The Tows having a good time.

This is right before we got swept into the whirlpool that was nearly impossible to get out!

Emma wanted piggy cupcakes [...]

taking a breather. . .

Amazing how being at stay-at-home mom is not as much fun as when you are staying at home because you are sick.  I don’t mind staying at home for days on end as long as it is optional.  When you are told not to leave the house and are FORCED to stay at home, there [...]

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 [...]

feel the pain. . .

We’ve hit Day 16 on our P90X work out.  Every day is getting a little easier and sadly I’ve become that person that actually feels bad if I don’t do the work out.  Mind you I didn’t say I enjoyed doing the work out, I just feel guilty.
We made it two weeks sticking 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 [...]
