    10.03.2008 Blog Hiatus

    My camera is broken, and the battery is dead with the charger nowhere to be found! I haven't been able to take any pictures in over a week. I am DYING! What's new around here?.....well I'd love to show you-but no photos! Quite a bit has happened in the last 7-10 days!
    -Pressure tank nearly blew up, no water! (fixed regulator all is well now)
    -Dishwasher stopped cleaning dishes (had to buy new one which we could not afford)and additionally had to chip out 4 tiles in kitchen to remove old one and add new one.
    -Pulled up all tile in 2nd (MAIN) bathroom to verify no mold (none to speak of), sadly as many will attest good intentions last weeks if not months....guess where that toilet is?? (OY! YES on my back deck!)"Oh i swear baby, 2 days max" Well we are on day 6 people.
    -Got new tile and vanity for bathroom with no toilet. (still not installed-shocker) Wanna take some bets on when this might get completed? I'm gonna go with 1 day before all his family gets here from out of town later this month!
    I'll keep you all posted....but you know how i feel about MORE renovations that never get done. Oh yippee! Can you feel my pain?!

    09.29.2008 Memory Lane

     

    Is it just me, or does this picture bring warm and happy feelings to you too? I fondly remember these cereals from when i was a little girl! It's sad that they get dusted off, and re-marketed only around Halloween. I saw these on a quick trip to the store, and bought a box of each one. The kids have eaten it and like all 3 flavors. I'm sure they will be asking for it a few months from now...and it won't be around! *sniffle*. So we are gonna enjoy this trip down memory lane one bowl at a time! Count Chocula (my favorite), Franken Berry (yummy) and Boo Berry! YUM YUM YUM

    09.27.2008 1st Time Rider

     

    Whew, what a day! Who would have thought a simple Pampered Chef party would have this kind of outcome! Danielle got onto Josh's little bike, and BLAM, just started riding it!!! Then she got on her Barbie bike-which we took the training wheels off of over a year ago-and just started to RIDE! No holding on from Mom, Dad or anyone. She just decided to do it...and DID IT!!! Now my little 6yr. old has her independence, confidence, and just rides and rides. It was a joy to watch!

    09.21.2008 Big Eyed Bubba

     

    One thing i love about my boy is his big beautiful eyes. They are olive colored, not quite sure if they should be called brown or green. Either way, they make my heart melt, and mommy says YES to those eyes far too often.

    09.20.2008 Spots on Top

     
    As you may or may not know, we have a family pet that is a toad. His/her name is Spots. It is a very friendly frog, likes to be pet, and likes his nice tank. We purchase crickets daily and the kids go hunting for other insect food items for him as well. Here is a shot of him up high...on Danielle's head! Per our research on the internet, it says they can be better pets than even cats and dogs! It could be eating out of our hand literally soon. He's a fun pet and likes to be looked at! Seriously! If we go up to his tank, he turns to us and almost smiles!
