Simple Pleasures of the Young

After finding a box of Ritz Bits in our pantry that is 'earmarked' for school lunches/snacks, Andrew jumped up and down and declared,

"This is going to be the best school year ever!"

Mother of invention

I recently have been watching a newborn darling for a friend. This baby LOVES his bouncer and is very content in it while I need to get lunches made or attend to other boys.

The other day, the beloved bouncer was accidentally left at home and baby boy was in no mood to simply be put down... So we had to get creative.

A tipped backward and propped up car seat, some string, and three baby spoons were able to buy me the time I needed.

Instead of having quiet reading time this afternoon, Andrew came downstairs like this.

Happy 11 Year Anniversary to Us!!

Aren’t we a cute couple!

Happy Birthday to Marc

It’s late but a few weeks ago we celebrated Marc’s birthday.  The boys and I surprised him with sugar cookies.  I decorated some and the boys decorated some.  See if you can tell which ones are which. :)

We celebrated by getting a sitter, going out to dinner….and running errands.  But even errands were really nice to run, when it was just the two of us
