Owen and Carson Lunch at 11am at Chick fil A is just something that stay-at-home moms do.  You know I’m right!  And it’s almost always been a great experience for us.  Unfortunately, this particular CFA has a play area that is geared toward big kids.  No area for the little ones to play.  I’m not … [Read more…]

  Party Paper Circles I did a lot of crafting and party supply searching today.  It’s fun to work on a project that has visible results like this and I am really enjoying it.  Originally I wanted Betsy’s party to be craft paper and neon themed.  It still is, but as I started collecting things … [Read more…]

The Girls The girls stayed with us last night.  This morning they made a birthday cake for Carrie and we made this circle garland that they hung back home as a little surprise.  We had to make grand plans of getting the cake into the car without their mom seeing and hiding this garland without … [Read more…]

Cupcakes I met up with Carrie and the girls at Celebrity Cupcakes to trade cars and take the girls home for the day and overnight and so we just had to buy a dozen cupcakes between us.  Happy Birthday, Carrie!

  Mario Kart After church this morning (where Ben worked in the nursery) we ran to Home Depot for a new shower faucet.  The Hartmans came over, Jason helped Ben fix our shower, we had hot dogs for dinner and played Mario.  A lovely Sunday.

Earlier in the day Ben stayed home with the kids and I got my hair cut and … [Read more…]

  Boys and Trains This morning we went to Cooper’s 2nd birthday party!  Carson had a blast and Betsy did really well.  When it was time to go Carson threw a fit about leaving (probably at least partly due to the fact that he decided playing with these trains was more important than eating anything) … [Read more…]

  Betsy and Claire I love this picture because of all the things I think Betsy might be telling Claire.  Like, “If you look cute, they won’t be mad that you pooped on the carpet.”  or “You have to show the big brother who’s boss.  Just start crying and your mom will blame him for … [Read more…]

 Whoops! Applesauce in the face.  I guess she hasn’t totally mastered these food pouches. Megan and baby Claire came to stay with us tonight.  They moved to the Fort Worth area about a month ago, but Claire had an appointment at Texas Children’s this afternoon.   We are so glad to have them but we … [Read more…]

  First time on the potty Today was full of bodily functions in our house.  If you don’t want to hear about it, then stop reading and go about your business.  Do not say I did not warn you. Betsy pooped today after not going in 2 days.  So it was a big one.  I … [Read more…]
