I have never entered my kids into a contest for their cuteness or anything like that. I think they are great and I'm always super jealous of the people who win but, I've never actually entered one. I'd hate for my unluckiness to rub off on my kids! BUT, the costume that TRex wore this year for Halloween and this subsequent pic was just way too good to pass up the opportunity to enter him in the first contest that came along. I actually said to hubby "Man, he could have totally won a costume c... Continue reading...

We had such a good time on Halloween! My brother-in-law had a party at his house where adults and kids alike all had a wonderful time. His wife is such a good hostess and always blows us away with all her homemade goodies. Seriously, I can't believe I forgot to take pics of the desert table. It was quite a spread. Cookies, mini cakes, candied apples, personal pumpkin pie bites. That last one was my undoing. I could have made myself sick off those. I will be getting the recipe and posting befo...

T-minus 2 days (or one day depending on if you count the actual day. I never know how you do that.) until the Trick or Treating Extravaganza! We actually have pretty great plans this year to trick or treat with all the nieces and friends and then have a fun party at my brother-in-law's house. We did it last year but, the night was cut short since it was a weekday. This year promises to be fun!The kids' costumes are pretty much set. TRex is going as Logan from XMen and hubby is anxiously conte... Continue reading...

This blog carnival was started by MckMama. Check out her blog to see what she and everyone else has NOT been up to.
Snappy and I were not sick all week. Poor Snappy. Poor Mommy. Though, Superman and Superboy (aka, hubby and TRex) seemed immune. Snappy and I are both doing better, she more than me. I'm being a trooper though. No worries people...no oinking around here. Just sinus problems and earaches! Earlier in the week, after Snappy was done playing with dishes in the bottom cabinets of the ... Continue reading...

So, I ran across a blog today with a post about the Baby Einstein dvd's. This blogger wrote about the AAP recommending zero tv time for kids under 2 and the fact that all people who bought Baby Einstein dvd's in the last five years will be able to get a refund. The blogger seems to be in complete agreement with the AAP and all the denials of the educational value of these dvd's and the horrors of letting a child watch tv. Poppycock.Yep, I said it.I read through the comments on that blog post ... Continue reading...

So, my new addiction is a blog called Kelly's Korner Blog. She has amazing recipes, sweet stories, and the cutest little girl ever (next to my Snappy of course!). Show Us Your Life is one of her blog extravaganza ideas and it's so much fun. So, here I go participating...Fall Decorations!Well, I haven't been that wonderful with decorating. I did start with the Halloween stuff but, I'm guessing I'm more of a magazine flipping, idea having, window shopping decorator than an actual decorator. I w... Continue reading...
