We’ve been having SO much trouble with this little angel at bedtime lately!! She wants to stand up in her bed and dance and sing for two hours or more after we put her to bed, no matter how many times we go upstairs to give her some ‘correction.’ That is, if she isn’t climbing OUT of bed!! So, I finally decided what the heck…..she ain’t going to bed easy…

More Before-and-After Pics: Big Sis’ Room.
Well, our Ten Year Anniversary came and went last week, and I haven’t posted any sentimental pictures chronicalling the joys of the past 10 years, like I intended to! Honestly that’s just because I’m a little lazy; most of those pics were pre-digital-camera and I’ll have to scan and upload each and every one of them! So, I’m saving that for if and when I ever get caught up on…

Brutal Honesty.
KB was rummaging through my pictures earlier and found this lovely Olan Mills portrait dated 1990. I explained to her that this was from when I was in high school (I was 17). She said, “Mommy, I liked you so much better in high school. You were SO much prettier then.”That’s it. I’m calling Dr. 90210.
The Naughty Crew.
Isn’t it so funny how two little girls from the same two parents, with the same genes, and the same upbringing and history, can be so very different? Today Baby A went to MDO at First Christian Church, which is a drop-in program, because this overworked, underpaid mom was needin’ a BREAK. So, I go to pick her up at 2:30, and the teacher tells me, “Ummm…*Baby A* was in…

Our realtors are having an Open House here, Sunday, from 2-4 pm! So if you ever had the desire to snoop around in our closets while we’re not home, NOW would be your chance. 🙂
More Before and After Pictures: The Sunroom
This room has changed drastically since we bought the house! It was added on in the 1960s by the previous owner, and she had her collection of wicker in this room. It was like The Museum of All Things Wicker…..every single thing, even the birdcage and lamps, were wicker! And the astroturf carpet was a nice touch. Really, though it wasn’t my style, I could see the potential. The ceiling…

American Idol. To Change the Subject.
OK, I really thought (and hoped) it was going to be Brooke voted off this week…..good grief, she can sing ok enough, a little too bland for me, but can she please STOP all the POUTING!! Week after week, she stands there with a teary-eyed pout like a spoiled 6-year-old (and believe me, I’m quite familiar with that look) as the judges have their say. But as it turns out…

Before and After.
Well, I guess now that our house is for sale, I won’t be entering any home improvement contests after all. I may regret that someday, but I just can’t handle ONE MORE THING on my to-do list at this point. So, over the next few days I’ll post before and after pics of my house. I’ll start with the entry and stairs, before:And after:And here’s the front of our house,…

~~~HaPPy BiRTHDaY BaBY A!!!!~~~
Our little one is TWO years old and I can’t believe it…how time flies!! We celebrated at home with her favorite guy, Elmo, along with friends and family. Some friends let us borrow their bounce house, which fit perfectly in our sunroom, and the kids had a ball! Where have the past two years gone?? Remembering some of our favorite moments…This is how we told the world that Baby A…

HiLaRiouS.
I don’t know how I stumbled upon this great blog, but I laughed out loud at most of it. If, like me, you grew up at church, going on the choir tour where the bus broke down, singing a heartfelt ‘Friends are Friends Forever,’ while swaying back and forth, hugging your male friends from the side, disguising a big ‘ole gossip fest as a ‘prayer request,’ etc., etc.,….you’ll completely ‘get’…

Baby A’s First Puppy Ears
KB decided this morning that Baby A needed her hair fixed! Don’t let her sassy attitude in these pictures fool you…..she was NOT happy about big sis and mommy restricting the movement of her precious hair, and threw a HUGE fit about it. She will NOT wear a bow on top of her head, ’cause it interferes with her being able to twirl her hair with one hand while sucking…
