My good and patient friend Jennifer invites me to a lot of things. I usually have a ton of excuses (usually the stress of handling the children on my own or the expense of such and such) as to why it’s not feasible at that particular time.
She hasn’t given up on me and we managed [...]

Another Kindergarten Grad
My baby girl graduated from kindergarten this morning. I won’t bore you with the details, I’ll just show you the photos. They aren’t the best, but at least I got a few. So much for their seating chart – HA!

Camping
Camping slideshow.
Before making the mistake of mentioning it in front of the kids, Dan and I discussed camping out in the pop-up (pup) and he was willing. I didn’t have to cajole for once. Amazing.
I wanted to try it out before we actually attempted camping in public. Wanted to get a feel for what we can [...]

Memorial Day Parade 2009
Click here for slideshow.
The girls and I walked in the Memorial Day Parade again this year. This was Morgan’s first year and Ashley’s second. Morgan was thrilled that she got to carry a sign. They sang their song, but it was drowned out by the big diesel truck behind us.

D’s Birthday Party
Sunday started off as usual – kids waking us up way before we wanted and getting irritated at each other because neither of us wanted to be the one to get up with them. I should have been allowed to sleep for a variety of reasons, but I got up. Started a day [...]

Spring Concert 2009
Grades 2-5 had their spring concert on Friday. Ashley’s grade went on first and did a little number about caps for sale. It was cute and my kid was cute in her new outfit and pigtails. I even got to catch a glimpse of Morgan coming back from a bathroom break. [...]

Mother’s Day 2009
Happy Mother’s Day (a day late). I meant to write yesterday, but yesterday sucked. Well, the first part did anyway. The evening was pretty nice. I found out this morning why I was throwing myself such a pity party yesterday. What a wreck. Oh well, it passed as usual.
Dan had to work until 4:00. In [...]
