A record of the incessant and trivial chatter running through my head.
.jpg) Let me start by saying a big “public”, Thank you, to my most awesome husband for honoring me on my own blog last week. To say I was surprised by his generous post, would be a huge understatement. Chad, you’re awesome. (See folks, I told you. . . he’s a good one.) And for those […]     Birthday…by definition it is “the anniversary of a birth” or “the day of a person’s birth” or “a day marking or commemorating the origin, founding or beginning of something” or “the festivities or celebration marking such a day or anniversary”. Whatever definition one chooses to use, it’s a noun, which seems more like a verb. […]
.jpg) I have seen assertions in the photography world that state that pictures should stand alone. The belief says that if the picture is strong–no words should be needed. I guess it goes along with the ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ saying. But for me? I fell in love with the marriage of words […]
.jpg) We talked about it for about a week beforehand. We devised the plan, discussed the execution, and made sure that we kept everything under wraps. It’s not like it was the first time we did it. Really, it’s become somewhat of a tradition–we did it here and then again here. They are getting older now, […] .jpg) I’m a week behind on the blog. I know that doesn’t mean anything to anyone, but me. This neurotic compulsion I have to document our life and the things we do and experiences we have. It’s not that I just have to document them–I have to document them in order. Certainly, there is a diagnosis […]

I hope you are having fun and relaxing a bit with your dad! The turtle and frog stories made me laugh. Steve and I went on a date this weekend, while my in laws watched the kids. When we arrived home, my MIL said "I'm sorry, just so you know, I can't be the mean one. I can't say no…."
I just gave her 'the look' and she continued…"It's just a tiny frog. Just a teeny tiny one"
Yes. The girls found a tiny frog and they let them bring it inside, make a home for it out of one of my tupperware containers and keep it next to their bed. I had the opportunity the next morning to be mean Mommy and have them put it back outside, where it has family and friends and food and a home. Tears.
Why? Because LAST time my inlaws watched the kids, they found multiple caterpillars. Brought them in, made a home in my tupperware containers and guess what….the girls took the top off to see them better. Gone from the container. Never to be seen again. Gross. I wasn't about to have a 'tiny' frog hopping around my house.
Ha.
Are you serious, S? Oh my word.
I think there is something different between being 'the bad guy' and 'being responsible'. "No, we cannot keep that frog because your Mommy will kill me", is a perfectly acceptable response. 😉
That is a great story!
Love this!
I think Meadow has it right on the camping thing….your bed INSIDE is so much better, heehee 🙂 But it looks like everyone had so much fun!
M. face with that turtle, priceless!! I love that your kids (and husband) love those animals so much. Terry and Henry are the same way. Me, nope…I will enjoy from afar.
The plane picture – fantastic!!
Oh my goodness, both girls!! hahaha! that is awesome 🙂 M. & C's faces after say it all.
Boo summer ending, but thank goodness it goes into my FAVORITE time of the year. I look forward to fall more than anything. I am sure that will change slightly when Henry is in school, but right now fall and pumpkins and holidays….at least it is a good season to go into even if summer is over!
Yeah, I would be right there beside you. haha!
Have fun with your dad!!
