Had to share these crazy baby stories… Having a baby “traditionally” is pretty amazing in and of itself, but sometimes things that aren’t so traditional can turn into something utterly unbelievable. Stories like these leave me hoping for the most traditional and uneventful birth as possible. This Minnesota woman (Midwestern women just seem tougher than…
I Survived… and so did the kids!
We got back Saturday from our road-trip to Grandma’s… 9.5 hours away in sunny, hot, hot, hot, hot Florida. It was a looooong trip made bearable only by the dvd player and lots and lots of snacks. The trip there seemed much faster since we got an earlier start, and we were losing an hour…
Shopping Fun!
I have been “perusing” online for things on my wishlist… Mostly for the baby, but I’ve been looking for twin size bedding for Wade too since he’ll be “moving on up” out of the crib and into a big bed once the baby arrives… I made a nice bundle selling some bulletin boards and my…
More Showers!
This time, I was helping with the shower! I had lots of fun helping with things for a Baby Shower for my good friend, Kristi. She has a little girl, Aubrey that is just a month older than Wade. Now we’re both adding to the family again… her with another girl and me with another…
Craziness
I am officially off my rocker, I think. I am leaving today on a 10 hour trip SOLO with my two little ones. I know many other mothers have gone before me in this path of road trip mania, but this is my FIRST ever “solo” road trip. I have somehow escaped prior to now. …
Park Fun
Pictures of our Park fun… It was royally H-O-T and there were noooo trees around the playground! It’s a new playground right by our house, but I seriously don’t know what they were thinking with the no trees. The kiddos had a ball despite the heat… :) Hey Mom! Haylee met some friends, and Wade…
A Baby Shower!!
I was excited to have a Baby Shower Lunch given by my fellow teachers and staff. It was scheduled the last day of school on a week that was… shall we say… less than happy. But despite all that, several of us gathered at a nearby Mexican restaurant to celebrate. We enjoyed time to eat…
No More School!
Recent deep convo between Wade and me… Me: No more school, Wade. We’re not going to school anymore. Wade: No more School? Me: No more school. You’re going to stay home with mommy. Wade: Stay with mommy? Me: Yep, stay with mommy all the time. Wade: (pause) No more church??? Me: dying laughing… yes,…
Last Day of School!
The last day of school was very exciting! I went to the morning awards ceremony with Haylee. I was nice to actually be able to sit with her this year. Haylee and her friend, Favor… Haylee got Good Conduct Award, PE Award, and Principal’s List for the whole year! PE Award… Good Conduct…
Field Day
The last week of school, First Grade had a Field Day! Oh, the excitement! Well, I know a few first graders who were excited anyway. I didn’t have any classes that morning, so I got to come out and enjoy all the fun too. Obstacle Course Huge Tarp Roll the Ball thing… I’m sure this…
