The last two weeks were the most stressful of my entire life.  I said they were the worst weeks of my life while they were happening, and I don't think that is a fair statement, but it was definitely the most stressful two weeks of my life thus far.  School was utter insanity.  If I told you what I had to do it would sound like no big deal... but ( Read more... )

I don't even remember what I have posted about on here since it has been so long.  I post on my other blog sometimes, but only a few people can read it... but as I've said many times before, most of what I post here is for myself to remember anyway ( Read more... )

First of all, what was with the ad before I could post ( Read more... )

Wow!  Have I really not posted in nearly two months?  That's kind of sad!

At the moment, Carter is flying a helicopter beside me on the couch.  Madelyn is laying on the floor watching Sid the Science Kid.  The past week has been a little rough with her especially.  We got the kids a new bed last weekend.  It has been more than a week since she's ( Read more... )

We don't have too much going on around here at the moment that is out of the ordinary. Oh! Well Teresa did get married this past weekend, so that is exciting! It went well and Teresa looked very pretty. Becca and Eric came up for the wedding and we got to spend some time with them, so that was nice. Unfortunately we stayed up WAY too late on ( Read more... )

I had a few things to say about Carter today.  He's growing up so darn fast!  He has started playing with his cars in a similar way to Madelyn.  He personifies them and they have little conversations with one another.  You can't really understand what he is saying because he mumbles, but you can tell that his play has changed.  It is becoming more ( Read more... )

Madelyn and I just did some of my homework.  She had to dictate a story to me.  After we finished, she wanted to write her own story.  She titled it "tltma."  She said, "There!  Did I spell it right?"  I said, "Well what does it say?"  She said, "The Little Mermaid!"  You might be thinking, "wow, that kid's not too bright!"  Actually, that is ( Read more... )

This past weekend we went to the pumpkin patch/apple picking with Brooke and her family.  We had fun.  It was a little cold, but not too bad.  Brooke and I made an apple pie when we got back to her house.  It was pretty good, especially for our first try!  The kids had a lot of fun playing together ( Read more... )

Warning: braggy post ahead.

We had Madelyn's first parent/teacher conference today. Her teacher is pregnant and due in about a month, so she wanted to do them a little earlier than usual.  I had taken Madelyn to school with me today and we were running a little late, so Josh dropped me off and then took the kids to Marsha's briefly and came back ( Read more... )

Me: Carter Andrew, who wrote on my couch?
Carter: Ummm... Daddy did!
Me: Daddy did not write on my couch. Who did it?
Carter: Ummm... No, David! (A book we read)
Me: Carter, you wrote on the couch. What do you say?
Carter: Sowee Mommy. Sowee Ma-lyn Fry
He is clearly used to apologizing to his sister.

He followed the apology by wrapping his arms ( Read more... )
