We wish you a Merry Christmas! Here’s our Christmas card this year, thanks to the wonderful work of Amanda B at ViriLovelyDesigns on Etsy.

Photo Friday: Six Flags Holiday in the Park

Last Friday was Will and Anna’s last day of school for the holidays. We celebrated with another trip to Six Flags Holiday in the Park.  We have season tickets and also bought the meal pass, so we always eat there too.

Have I ever mentioned that I am the queen of procrastination? Well, they say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. So I’ll admit it: I wait until the last minute sometimes.

Party Time:  Eight is Great

On August 22nd my big boy got a little bit bigger. We celebrated his birthday at Pump it Up with some of his school and scout friends.  He wanted a video game themed party. I partly feel bad because there wasn’t really much about it that was geared towards video games besides the Super MarioContinueContinue reading “Party Time:  Eight is Great”

Adventures with Four: So Much for Cheap Entertainment 

Remember by post from yesterday? Well, to refresh your memory, the kids all happily played in and with laundry baskets and blankets yesterday morning, keeping them occupied for a solid 30 minutes. And I had the gall to brag about it.  A few hours later, as I was getting lunch ready, I overhead Anna askContinueContinue reading “Adventures with Four: So Much for Cheap Entertainment “

Adventures with Four: Cheap Entertainment 

10 million toys in our house…. And our kids choose to do this. It’s keeping them ALL entertained and out of the clothes I’m trying desperately to fold and put away. Hallelujah! ​​
