Nathan has been talking for awhile about how him and the other kids race during recess. At first I wasn’t really sure what he was talking about, and just figured kids like to run around at recess. I had no idea until his teacher mentioned it in the class newsletter that the kids get a… >> View Post

Nathan’s Kindergarten photo
So, Mom told me that Nathan had a really weird smile in his Kindergarten picture and I was bracing myself for the worse. You never know what to expect when you prepay for pictures. But, after seeing the photo, I think it is cute. :o)- Even though, this is not Nathan’s normal smile that shows… >> View Post
Sleeping Binky
Autumn is enjoying her binky for now… I am taking them away when she turns 3 in a couple of months. I am not looking forward to that! She always has to suck on one binky, then she holds the other binky up to her nose. You can see the binky is just laying on… >> View Post
Thies Pumpkin Land
The weather in St. Louis has been beautiful this weekend, in the lower 80’s. So, after church we headed out to look at a new (to us) pumpkin patch called Thies. Wow, wow, wow… this place had everything! The biggest highlight of Thies is their Pumpkin Land, which is a huge play area for the… >> View Post
Google Eyed Monsters
I love Halloween crafts, and finally had time to get the kids to do their Google Eyed Monsters this weekend. This is a really simple craft, it involves play dough and google eyes. I had Halloween playdough leftover from trick or treating last year and I grabbed some special Halloween google eyes in 3 different… >> View Post

Nathan’s World
Poor Nathan, even though his favorite drink is ice water, gummy snacks are forbidden and even though I brush his teeth three times a day… he is still getting cavities! May I say that I am 34 and I have no cavities? I really hope when he gets his permanent teeth (and after I have… >> View Post
Hello Homework!
Sometimes Nathan is sent home with some worksheets to do as homework. It usually consists of him tracing or free handing letter after letter after letter after letter after letter . Fortunately, Nathan will do his homework really good for me if I bribe him with one two player game on the Wii. Sigh. Kids!!… >> View Post
Lowes Build and Grow – Firetruck
Wow… I am behind on blogging. I took the kids to Lowes last, last weekend to build firetrucks. Nathan now has a UFO, a monster truck, police car and firetruck! If only they would do a train!! The firetruck even came with a siren that makes noise. Yet another patch to sew on… and, I… >> View Post
Nathan’s Halloween Party at School
Nathan is in half day Kindergarten, so my Mom had to bring him back up to school at 2 p.m. for the classroom Halloween party. Boy, did he get some good loot! What he is holding is a truffle on a stick dipped in orange chocolate. It was good, I know because I split it… >> View Post
Treat Bag Goodies from Mom
So, everyone always gives me trouble about this… but, I always fill my kids treat bags with goodies every Halloween. I really enjoy planning out what to put in their treat bags, and its a good excuse to spoil them with something other than chocolate. I usually put a new flashlight, a Scholastic or Halloween/Fall… >> View Post
2011 Halloween
Soooo glad I took family Halloween pictures BEFORE Halloween night. Because, the kids are just TOO excited on Halloween night for the long awaited trick or treating, so they just cannot bear to sit still for a bench picture. This is the best I got. And, NO, I did not carve those pumpkins. Their Dad… >> View Post
