That’s right. My Labor Day Post. Better late than never.
OK, I had to post about Labor Day weekend because I am so proud of my mom and dad. They were the Grand Marshals for the local fair and Labor Day parade. They are tireless volunteers for their city. I can’t think of anyone more deserving. We went out on Saturday to the fair. It […]
That would make for an interesting centerpiece…
When I picked Grant up from school on Friday, he excitedly informed me that it was now October. Grant: “…and what year comes next?” Me: (a little confused) “2011.” Grant: “No, no. What comes after October?” Me: “Oh! November comes next.” Grant: (rubbing his hands together in anticipation) “Yep! Leprechauns and turkeys!!” He has me […]
Prince Charming was late… but he eventually showed up.
Don’t tell him I said this, but I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to my husband. There is no one else on the planet who “gets me” the way that this wonderful man does. We just fit… and we balance each other so well. He’s an amazing man. Watching him […]
The argument for laziness.
Last night we were talking to one of my boys (who shall remain nameless while this is still a Hot Topic Issue in our household). Having just returned from Back To School night, we were asking him about the assignments and grading policies some of his teachers had shared with the parents. One class in […]
Cheapy, Creepy, Halloween Party Invitations
Handsome Hubby and I decided to have a Halloween Party this year. (OK. I decided to throw it and told HH that I hoped he would attend…) I want to do this as inexpensively as possible, but with style. Invitations set the tone. I was able to snap up some silver/black toned iridescent card-stock that […]
Let’s work together.
Handsome Hubby and I try to teach our boys to be respectful, well mannered and self sufficient. We want our future daughters-in-law to like us. Each night after dinner, their job is to clean the kitchen and dining room. (I cooked… it’s only fair that they clean up.) So last night after dinner all 4 […]
No me gusta el numero 6.
Scene: our kitchen, after school. Grant: “I know how to count to six in Spanish.” Me: “You do?! That’s wonderful! Can you count for me?” Grant: (in a sing-songy little voice) “uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco…… stress.”
Today’s post is brought to you by the letter…. L
Scene: Grant is rambling on about something that someone did and said on the playground. Using the word like out of context has become a big problem around our house. Grant: “And so he was like ‘Hey!’ so then the other guy was like ‘whoa!’ and like, then, like, this guy was doing, like, this […]
The perils of nose picking.
Like many kids, when Devin was little he used to pick his nose. Like many moms, I tried everything under the sun to get him to stop. There was an art supply store that I frequented on a regular basis. The shopkeeper, Jerry, was a funny old guy. Jerry had a great sense of humor. […]
