Outside.  Plastic pools.  Bare bums.  Happy kids.

I’d write about this day, but I can’t remember what we did!  I do know that we played outside :)

This one.  In. To. Everything.  He can open doors now, too.  Nothing is safe from his path of destruction now!  Well, except for the couple doors I’ve put child-proof knobs on.  The upstairs bathroom since once he ate toothpaste and threw up blue.  And the pantry since he’ll grab food, knock over glass jars and spill … [Read more…]

After our busy and fun-filled day yesterday, today was a much needed day of rest :)

We had a busy Saturday!  I took Betsy to a birthday party.  This is her and Marie Elise, a friend we know through ballet. While we were at the party Ben took Carson to get a haircut.  After that we met up and took the big kids to a make-up swim class. Right after that … [Read more…]

It rained some this weekend, and they forecast rain from Sunday evening through Monday morning, but flooding wasn’t something they mentioned.  This morning however I woke up to Ben still being home (something that hardly ever happens) school canceled, and lots of road closures.  In Sugar Land we only got about 6 inches, but just … [Read more…]
