Jack entered the realm of the Double Digits last week, as he turned 10. I had asked him a few weeks back what type of cake he’d like (when will I learn?!?) and he said he wanted a Captain Rex head.  Terrific. It wasn’t too hard to find 3-D (’cause it HAS to be 3-D) [...]

So, my good friend Erin is having a baby.  Soon.  And, after three boys, she is having a GIRL! Oh, brother!  I mean, sister!  We can’t help spoiling her already.  While the kids were in school this morning, some moms came over to my house for a Pink Party.  (None of those hand-me-downs have enough [...]

All day yesterday and today, Sam has been telling everyone that he’s so happy he “broke his sac” early because that means his birthday is NOW instead of in two months, like it was supposed to be.  Luke tried to tell him that it didn’t matter, your birthday comes once a year and you always [...]

I’d like to say I haven’t blogged in a while because I’ve been so joyfully enjoying this Christmas break with my children.  We’re baking cookies.  Going on adventures.  Playing games together. The reality of the situation is that we’re all about to strangle one another.  Dan couldn’t wait to get back to work on Monday.  [...]

Dan took Luke and some of his friends to Lego Land today to celebrate Luke’s birthday. Better him than me! Afterward, the crew came back for some cake, presents and play time.

Lukie turned SIX yesterday.  The night before, when I tucked him into bed, I asked him if he was excited about his birthday.  He told me he was so happy to be turning six, because it means in four more years he’ll be 10.  Ugh!  I remember, as a kid, wishing for time to pass.  [...]
