So as I mentioned the other day, Breanne loves to paint right now.  I found some watercolors (Crayola, nothing fancy) in my art stuff a while ago, and decided that Breanne could use them.  I was a little worried about the messiness of it all, but she really has done remarkably well.  Half the time [...]

You all must have missed the header of my last post.  It read “I’m Tired.”  I thought that was an indicator that yesterday was not a normal day.  I do not usually clean my carpets, or even vacuum, really.  And I especially don’t do all that stuff in one day.  It was all in preparation [...]

Today’s Accomplishments:

Kickboxing class
Made my bed
Planned the food and fun for tomorrow’s baby shower for a friend (to be held here)

Moved lots of the stuff I [...]

So today one of my friends dropped by with her kids to play.  We were excited to have new friends to play with (we don’t play with them too often), and pretty quickly the kids were all over the house, having a great time, I think.  Breanne was even willing to share most of her [...]

Just a quickie tonight, long Sundays make me tired.

During sharing time in primary last week, the teacher asked the kids what we were and weren’t supposed to do according to the Word of Wisdom.  The usual answers, “don’t drink!” “don’t smoke!” “don’t do drugs!” were shouted out, with appropriate responses from the teacher.

Then one sweet [...]

Breanne’s new stuff–

Speech:

When asked if she wanted to eat her stew with her roll, the response was “No way, Mom.  No way.”

When Janey was “attacking” her on her bed (with Cory’s help), she stated over and over ”No, no!  Yeave me a-yone, Naney!” (trans. leave me alone, Janey!)

Actions:

While giving me a goodnight kiss, she wanted a [...]

…We are in the process of owning our own home, yet we don’t have enough space for all our stuff–I spent 2 hours today getting a friend’s stuff moved out of her storage unit, because we have 5 boxes and at least 5 computers over there.  The moving guy’s comment?  ”Those are some old school [...]

All right, I finally decided to go with this photo for the Fun with Food contest… no thanks to most of you! The score was exactly tied for both of these pictures after your votes, so I chose this one, just because I love the cheesiness of Breanne’s smile. If [...]

Just thought I’d point out my new button on my sidebar–it’s a link to 5 Minutes for Mom, a great site with lots of helpful hints and tips for moms, as well as many many giveaways right now. Thought I’d share the wealth with al y’all by posting the link. Enjoy!

This looked like a fun tag, so I thought I’d pass it along… it’s hard, though. Some letters I have a ton of favorites for, but others I can’t think of a single movie, so… here is my list of favorite movies from A-Z. Feel free to play along!
