Time Keeps Flying On By

I can't believe that it is almost March already! Wasn't it December just last week? It wasn't?! There is just so much going on it is hard to keep track of the date. :-D Is Special K really big enough to be sitting in this already?


I have been enjoying the chance to watch the children and Beloved interact with one another. Sweet E looks worried in this picture, but...


She was actually laughing. I think she was getting a good tickle session from Papa. :-)


Then Little E wanted to be Papa. So he got to wear Papa's tie and dress shoes. He thought it was great! (until he fell down because the shoes were obviously HUGE on him)

But then the boys got the chance to really dress up like Papa. I was able to purchase suits, with matching shirts and ties for the boys for my sister's upcoming wedding. (The ticker for the wedding is at the very bottom of this page.) I really dislike how the camera flash washed out their faces. :-(


Oh! And the snow we had over the past few weeks has been insane!



The snow was so deep that the children had to climb in through the window of their playhouse.


Beloved's birthday was this past Saturday. He chose to eat at Quaker Steak and Lube. Mmm.....fried pickles.....Oh sorry. I'll get back on track now. ;-D So anyway, my Dad joined us for lunch (he picked up Sweet E's flower girl dress and gave Little E his bday presents). It was great to see Dad. Missed seeing Mom, but she is down enjoying the beach house. I wish this was a better picture, but it's the best I could snap.


Titus loved eating there. We tried to get him to try one of the wings (and no...not the hot ones) but he was happy with plan ol' chicken tenders. Beloved did eat the Buckeye BBQ wings (he wasn't about to eat the atomic wings today, but he has before)...but not me. Way too hot.


When we got home the children helped Beloved blow out all 30 candles on his cake. It's getting harder and harder to light all his candles without one going out. ;-)

After filling up on wings, fries, chocolate cake with ganache and milk it was time for some cuddlin'. :-D


And..I just wanted to throw in this last picture because Special K is so incredibly adorable!


Okay...this is the last one...promise. ;-)

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

I did it!

Yes, I did get up at 5am this morning. Two days in a row, that is a HUGE deal for me. Let's see if I can keep this up (but probably not on Sundays). Tomorrow will be the test. I am not the type of person that can sleep in two days in a row and then get up on time through the week. I am going to try to only allow myself (at first) to sleep in one day a week. We will see how that goes. ;) But, my quiet time the past two mornings has been wonderful! It's amazing how it totally changes my day. Today I was thinking about smiling. Do you know that people are drawn to a smile? It's true. Think about it. When you are out in a store or just out on a walk...there is something about a smile from someone. I guess it gives me "hope" that there are actually people out there with joy in their heart. Gotta wonderful sometimes with all the scowls I see. Make sure you have a smile on your face today. :) Oh...the other night when we went to the store Sweet E was so happy. When we w
