Tonight mom had her first meeting as a member of the young non-profit professionals. That meant I had to pickup the kids, make dinner and put them down. Dinner went smoothly because I bribed the kids with twizzlers that I got from the cadaver lab I attended today (that's another story for another time). After…
Yesterday evening, I received this email from my daycare provider… Hi Libby, I wanted to show you this when you got here to pick up the kids but it did not work out. Anyway, this afternoon Hayden had asked for some cereal at snack and I gave him about a handful or two then, closed…
So I was trying to keep this a secret, but I have to let the cat out of the bag. Violet and I were making thank you cards for everyone who attended her birthday party on Saturday. After we made a few, she decided it was time to make one for her best friend at…

As Libby mentioned in the previous blog post, we planted a garden this weekend. In order to get the plants, we went to Wedel's. Along with having a TON of plants (a metric ton to be specific) Wedel's also has a HUGE pond with a river in the middle of their outside nursery. Needless to…
