This afternoon the 1st graders hosted their annual Mother's Tea. It was the cutest thing ever! I was seriously in tears before the event began. Nathan came out into the hallway and found me wandering around with the other moms and chatting it up. He jumped into my arms and then gave me the sweetest hug. Then it was off... Read more →

The Tooth Fairy better be rich.
I'm not sure why the Tooth Fairy started a tradition like this, as it could certainly break her. Turns out, she thought it would be a good idea to give $1 that corresponds to what number of tooth it was that was lost. And, in addition, a shiny new Sacagawea dollar. I guess the Tooth Fairy didn't really think about... Read more →
Moments
This evening after dinner I took all three boys up for bathtime while my wonderful husband mowed the lawn. Usually I just end up giving Jacob a quick bath separately and the other two shower more often than bathe, especially on school nights. But, I am so glad we opted for boy bathtime. Originally I thought it would be a... Read more →
So proud
Today my 7 year-old punkin' participated in a local Lego building competition hosted by our local library. He'd signed up earlier this month and was so excited the day had finally come! This morning I remember him saying, "I hope I win something!". I quickly replied to him that while that would be a fun treat, the reason for this... Read more →
Tooth Fairy visited our house again last night
Yesterday, Punkin' 1 (Nathan) had a stubborn molar extracted from his mouth. The darn thing hasn't come down in over 2 years and was impeding another molar from coming so, we were left with no choice but to have it pulled. I must say that he was quite nervous for the procedure but by the end of it all, he... Read more →

Wish Lists
This past weekend the boys spent most of their Sunday afternoon pouring over all the advertisement inserts and toy books included in the Sunday newspaper. When I returned from the grocery store, it appeared they were hard at work on their wish lists for Santa. William even sealed his up in an envelope. Read more →
Fun Fall pics
Today we had a 70-degree day and it's the first week in November. Now, I'm not complaining since I LOVE warm weather! But, I do have to admit this Fall (probably since it's been so mild) has been so amazingly peaceful and fun. And, my kids are just growing like weeds! Here's a peek at them lately. Read more →
Seven.
Hard to believe my first-born Nathan has just turned seven years old. I looked over at my husband the other day over dinner and said to him, "How'd YOU get to have a seven year-old?!" He just shook his head. I never in a million years would have imagined the two of us creating the most beautiful family that we... Read more →
Cupcake Ice Cream Cones
Pin It Just spent hours turning these . . . into these . . . My Nathan is turing SEVEN tomorrow! The things I do for that kid! Thankfully, my awesome husband came up the transport method. Otherwise, I'd have no idea how to get 24 of these to Nathan's 1st grade classroom tomorrow! Looks like those Old Navy shirt... Read more →
