Since it was a balmy 54 with 20mph wind, we decided to go for a walk around the block after dinner. Our "walk" started by racing to various landmarks down our street. We got to see the UPS truck not once but twice! The first time it drove by and honked as the kids waved….
Some mornings are rough, especially the mornings when I have a deadline to be somewhere. This morning Violet had a dentist appointment so we needed to be at daycare by 7:30ish to get to the dentist on time. Lately the kids have been sleeping in until 6:30 or later. Violet has been sleeping in until…
The other night while I was making dinner, Violet and Hayden were playing in the living room being fairly well behaved. All of a sudden, I heard a blood curdling scream come from Violet followed by, “He’s eating my face!” Having absolutely NO idea what this could be, I ran out to the living room…
Last night, Hayden requested Llamas in Pajamas as his first bedtime story of the night. Since that book was in Violet’s room, we all sat on her bed for story time. Violet LOVES that book and LOVES “reading” it to us – especially to Hayden. She read the whole book to us, even with a…

You can check out the events leading up to this post in the Prequal, Part 1, and Part 2 of this series. Monday morning everyone got up and had microwave omelets in our room while everyone…

Home with the kids on Friday was a little trying with one sick child and the other wanting that attention. Regardless, I still had to stop in to work to do a few things. Normally, when I take the kids to work, they get into everything. That’s okay sometimes and it usually keeps them busy….
We went to Great Wolf Lodge for Hayden and Violet’s birthdays this past weekend. Libby was home with both kids on Friday since Denise had the day off. The plan was to get all packed for the trip up north this weekend. That was the plan… As it turned out, Hayden was sick with some sort…
Now that Hayden has officially turned two, we have started a new Picasa Album for this year. The new link for the album can be found here. It has some pictures of the birthday party and our adventures at Great Wolf Lodge. It was one heck of a weekend. Once the kids go down, Libby…
Tonight we had tuna fish sandwiches for dinner. Hayden ate two sandwiches and his veggies and baked beans. Violet ate a well rounded meal but not quite as much. After they got done eating dinner, we let them go play while Libby and I finished our dinner and sat down and talked. After a bit,…
