One of the most fabulous things EVER about my family (namely, my mama) coming to visit for the holidays (or any reason, for that matter) is that David and I can get the Grammmy World's Best Babysitter to watch the kids if we want to catch a movie (that's not rated G) or go out and enjoy dinner together!

Men...and why can't they ever get it right??!
Let me preface this post by saying I love my husband very much. I am true to the vows I spoke over 8 years ago. But as I write this, I'm pretty darn irritated. This day has been full of activity...only the third real day of school for Nathan, a Kindergarten outing at a local inflatables place (where Nathan got... Read more →
My husband's better than your husband.
I got to sleep in today until 9:45. D made the kids breakfast and got them dressed. See why I love that man??? Enough said. ♥ Read more →
Golf outing.
N is out on a golf outing with D today and I'm excited to hear how it went. This is the first time since W's been born that N's gotten a chance to go sans his little brother. He and W went a few months ago with D and halfway through the outing he asked if he could go one... Read more →
Pumpkin carving.
Today was the day we decided to finally get carving the mini pumpkin patch that was growing on the kitchen counter. D is a master carver and the kids enjoyed helping gut the pumpkins, paint, and even cut some. It's times like today that make me realize how blessed I am to have such a wonderful family. I'm also a... Read more →
What we're reading.
Our reading habits totally go in cycles around here, as I am sure it does for most families.

It's over 40 pages long but a very interesting... Read more →
Not to toot my own horn, but.....
Despite the kids being away at vacation bible school this evening with D's mom, I decided I'd make dinner for my wonderful hub and I because I've been wanting to try out this great new recipe for an Easy Mexican Casserole. I know - being a Latina, I should be ashamed of myself for even looking for a recipe for... Read more →
My balancing act.
We played a lot of Wii Fit this wiikend. Check out the lovely photo that my wonderfully photojournalistic husband managed to snap of me while trying to play a game on the Wii Fit balance board. I swear, I'll probably break my neck one of these days, but at least the kids get a kick out of it! Read more →
33 and counting.
We celebrated D's birthday today so you know what that meant. CUPCAKES! We set out to find cupcakes this morning since N had a very clear picture of what kind of cupcakes he wanted for his Dad. He clearly described them as needing to be Incredible Hulk and other superhero themed cupcakes. We didn't exactly find what he had in... Read more →
