Let’s Go Fly a Kite!

This past Saturday, when the temperature soared into the upper 60’s (hey, that’s really high for my neck of the woods in November!), we took the time to clean out our garage. We tossed out a bunch of broken toys, organized the toy bucket, swept out the tree worth of leaves, and got […]

Waffle night

I’m going out to dinner tonight with some of my girlfriends from the neighborhood (two of whom have “defected” to a nearby suburb), so Andy is in charge of dinner for the boys and himself. He decided waffles would be a good idea, and then he decided to make them from scratch. So […]

Last day of summer freedom

Noah starts kindergarten tomorrow. My heart is aching. It’s the end of an era! I can’t believe he’s old enough to go to kindergarten! But he’s totally ready. Completely ready. I’m not.

Today the boys got to play at three different parks with Grandma, then this afternoon we had some time to play outside before […]

A lovely night for a walk

Andy and I convinced the boys to head out for a walk around the neighborhood tonight, and we really walked. I couldn’t believe the boys made it the whole way! The weather was perfect, and the sky was full of airplanes and jet trails, while also showcasing a warm sunset.

Neighbors

We’ve lived in our house for a little over 4 years, and we really haven’t gotten to know our neighbors very well. We know our neighbors on either side of us, and we know two of the neighbors across the street. I actually work with a different neighbor across the street. But we live on […]

*Doin’ it Ourselves

Andy started the latest project in our house today. We’re going to lay tile in our bathroom. It was time to be rid of the ugly linoleum. So I came home from work to find our toilet in the playroom and my bathroom devoid of any floor besides the subfloor.

Not much to say…

So it’s only the third day of NaBloPoMo and I’m so exhausted right now, I’m not so excited about blogging. Don’t ask me why I’m exhausted, I don’t know. I went to bed at a reasonable hour last night, got up to Shred with Jillian Michaels this morning (I’m gonna be sore!), I worked a […]

Sports fun

Okay, I’m gonna go out there and say I’m trying NaBloPoMo again this month. 31 days, 31 posts. We’ll see how it goes. I’ll try to keep it somewhat interesting!

I was reading a post by Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry and realizing I’m feeling like she is right now-uninspired. It may be […]

You Capture: Expression

It’s Thursday again, so it’s time for You Capture, hosted by Beth over at I Should Be Folding Laundry. I forgot about it until today, so I grabbed my camera as Noah and I went for a walk after dinner (Caden and Andy didn’t get to come because Caden was taking too […]

Brothers

Today, while I was at work, it was boys’ day around here. They went to Menards, played outside, and ate mac n’ cheese. Caden also decided to try a bite of Noah.

Look closely…

A not-so-accurate recreation of the incident:

Now, for the most part, since I’ve been home, they’ve been pretty […]
