Shark Attack!

 
C. managed to survive with all his limbs and sanity in tact.  It was scary there for a bit though.
That’s what happens when you agree to go out with your mother and she has her camera along with plenty of opportunities to experiment with lighting (and C. is becoming more of a ham since he’s taking [...]

I Found Heaven….

at Coldstone Creamery. 
I love ice cream. I adore chocolate and raspberry together.
One recent wednesday, out on date, Kevin and I stopped in for some ice cream (for dinner no less – YES!)  Oh my goodness, they had “Chocolate Raspberry Truffle” ice cream.  This may not be earth shattering to you, but it [...]

Switchin’ it up OR ….why we need a guard turkey.

Let’s say you have older children and Christmas is coming.  Let’s say some of those children start hinting really early at things they’d love to see under the tree (Heh.. and some of those things are pretty dang expensive).  Let’s say you also start to notice that those same children are arguing more and more.  [...]

It’s like death and taxes……

But I didn’t say it.  C. did.  Yup.  Really [...]

What you get when your grown sons forget they’re too big to wrestle in the Living Room.

A brand new tree the very next year. 
And because you can’t just simply replace the old tree, you have to buy a “new and improved model”.  That translates into taller, 9 feet in this case.  And because it’s 9 feet tall it’s also pre-lit because you know that’s the only way you’ll ever get lights [...]

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

It’s done and yes, it was insane.  It took all week, but I finished C.’s quilt. 
It was insane enough trying to finish his quilt.  While he was at school.  One day I spent the day quilting out of the house just to be able to get in more quilting time. 
It also happened that I needed [...]
