It’s supposed to be, “Say Cheese!” But by the time those words are out of my mouth, my Four In A Row are out of alignment.

So. Maria and I found ourselves with little to do the other afternoon while The Little Boys were (thankfully) napping.
I decided that it would be fun for us to give ourselves curly hair! I got all excited and asked Maria if she wanted to make her hair curly! After explaining that I’d [...]

Thank you to all who ordered wrapping paper for Jack’s fund-raiser at school.
His class had the most orders in the school and won an ice cream party.

Today was more than crazy and at 5:00 p.m. I found myself furiously trying to get soccer socks on Jack. I was pushing and he wasn’t, so his knee ended up in his chest.
