In Line at Wal Mart Sometimes you just have to go to Wal Mart. Like when you need groceries, new shoes for your son and potting soil and you don’t have the time or the energy to go to two or three different places. I kind of hate Wal Mart and after this latest … [Read more…]
No picture for today. I didn’t take a single one. I guess I was just too preoccupied/lazy. After church this morning I cleaned the house, Ben did the grocery shopping, the kids took naps (Betsy napped from 1:30 to 4:30!) and then some friends came over for dinner and then it was 11 and time … [Read more…]
Ben and the Babies
Candace and Micah What a wonderful day we had! I’m having a hard time remembering the last weekday that was this enjoyable. It started out not so great. Betsy wouldn’t go down for her morning nap. I was supposed to meet Candace at 11, so I couldn’t just wait it out. I ended up … [Read more…]
Cars Pancakes I tried to make Cars shaped pancakes this morning. These pancake molds are great, but only if you know how to use them. I did not know how to use them when I started making breakfast this morning. You have to grease the molds really well, use low heat, and cook them … [Read more…]

In the Toy Box I looked over from the couch this morning and found Carson here watching Umi Zoomi. There were a bunch of toys in there, so I can’t imagine it was very comfortable. Ben bought a new (used) car today! This moment has been a long time coming. We traded in his … [Read more…]
Mickiser This is how Carson pronounces the word mixer. He likes to play with the big stand mixer in the kitchen, so we got him one of his own last week. He is getting closer and closer to pronouncing mixer and other words correctly. I have mixed emotions about that. Stawbees is becoming strawberries, beenah … [Read more…]
First Flower from Carson I’ve heard that little boys pick and give flowers to their mothers, but I’d never experienced it until today. A few years ago we were hanging out with some friends and her 4 year old son kept going back to the same bush in their yard and picking flowers for … [Read more…]
