Halloween at Hogwarts. We had a dementor, Moaning Myrtle, Luna Lovegood, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, a Slytherin student, Professor Trelawney, and an ominous hooded figure. Oh, and Rainbow Dash, Minnie Mouse, a large spider, and a 20s gangster. It was a fun Halloween! I am so glad Karen and Cindy and families could celebrate with […]

Meowchies, Weasels, and Googolplex
Some more Bree-isms. “Mommy, a cat says “Meowchie” when it gets hurt.” But she was being completely serious and got mad when we told her that was a great joke and laughed. She asked me what a weasel was, so we looked up pictures of the animal online. Then she asked me, “But what does […]
Flied
Bree hopped off the couch, flapping her arms furiously. As she landed, she exclaimed, “I almost flied! I stayed in the air for one minute!” She wishes she could fly so badly. Like Rainbow Dash.
Glimpse by Text
My recent texts to Greg give a little glimpse into my last 24 hours. And now I’m off to dismantle a car seat so it can get a good, thorough washing… We are taking it easy now with a lazy day. Canceled our afternoon plans and I think I may take a nap when Cate […]
Move the Sun
Bree is making annoyed squeals from the backseat of the car.

Variable Bedtime
The two littles are in full melt-down mode from our long and exciting day today. Do you think they’ll notice if I move bedtime up an hour?
[Home]school
A glimpse of our first day of [home]school. Cate sat in on Bree’s lesson and didn’t want to stop!
Yuck
When my kids are grown and invite me over for dinner, I must be sure to say “Yuck. This is yucky. I like the noodles but not the sauce. Why is there onions in this? It’s too spicy. How much do I have to eat before I can have dessert?” and various other sayings that […]
Las Vegas
Greg and I aren’t fond of making decisions or having to plan things, so when our vacation plans to Phoenix (to visit family) fell through on the evening before we were to leave, we weren’t sure what to do. I was stressed about having to make new plans. So we came up with the idea […]
Carmel-by-the-Sea
Our road trip brought us to the Pacific Ocean, where the girls enjoyed playing in the sand and watching the mesmerizing waves. It was a bit chilly, but our time on the beach was still a highlight of our trip. This was Cate’s first time seeing the Pacific Ocean. She would giggle with glee as […]
