Thousand Word Thursday, baby style

Thursday, January 22, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Remember how I mentioned that I was going through old pictures to make a slide show for Twizzler’s 8th birthday. There are so many pictures that aren’t on my newer Mac, and I don’t see them often enough. I came across these pictures yesterday. If ANY pictures are worth a thousand words, these are. First, [...]

A difficult decision, a leap of faith, and Peanut Butter

Thursday, January 22, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I loved MamaKat’s writing prompts this week and spent quite a bit of time tonight thinking about where I could go with each one. I haven’t been feeling very inspired lately, most likely due to my being home-bound for nearly two full weeks. Thursday marks the 10th straight school day that I have had at [...]

Get your groove on, baby!

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I have been spending lots of tedious MINUTES (hours?!?) going through old pictures to find the PERFECT photos to document Twizzler’s life….You see, he turns eight years old next Friday and a few days after that will be baptised. Pretty big stuff. I decided to put together a little slide show of his 8 years [...]

Haircut time again!

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Did you notice AJ’s hair in those last pictures (the ones where he’s singing “Somethin’s stinky“?) Did you happen to notice that he desperately needed a hair cut? The first thing my sister said to me when she saw them was, “Wow! He looks like a little punk rocker. I don’t know if I’ve ever [...]

I created this button to match my new layout while I was listening to the inauguration today. Is it a keeper? Anybody want one? Feel free to grab it and post it on your sidebar (I know you want it!)

Tackling the carpet

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment

When we moved into our townhouse almost 11 years ago, we were not extremely impressed with the carpet. The sellers had replaced all of the carpet in the house before putting it on the market, but they had installed the cheapest carpet they could find. We bought the house during a slump in the market, [...]

What do you think? PS–thanks for the follows, guys! Only 4 away from the 100 mark! Does that mean people like me? PSS–I woke up in the middle of the night to help AJ throw up (and I was hoping he was done with that!)….and guess who else is sick now? YEP–ME! The germs that [...]

Not Me Monday!

Monday, January 19, 2009 By Leave a Comment

We’ve come to that time of the week once again where I join MckMama at my Charming Kids and a gazillion other bloggers out there in Not Me Monday, where we can be brutally honest with each other, and live to tell about it, while we shroud the severity of our statements by pretending we [...]
