Funny Friday: Jingle Bells

Here’s Bear at her Mother’s Day Out Christmas program a few weeks ago. The entire clip is here for the grandparents, but the rest of you can skip to 0:30 and watch until 1:00.

Funny Friday: Sandbox Dangers

I recently found an old journal of funny stories from the past few years that I thought I’d share. Here’s your first funny from that archive. Enjoy!
We were relaxing in the backyard on a beautiful Sunday afternoon with Kat and Tiger. (This was before Bear was born.) The kids and George were playing in the [...]

A little humor for your Friday.

What a Day!

I got to watch as my latest niece entered this world….barely. I made it there with a mere 12 minutes to spare.
I detoured through downtown Dallas. Twice. In the dark. The first was around midnight and was the result of a decision to not take my planned exit since it looked like a parking lot [...]

If you have 4 hours….

Heard tonight as we were in the van:
“Hey Mom and Dad, I just figured something out. . . If you have 4 hours and put it into 3 groups, you’d have one hour and twenty minutes in each group!”
You know, I had been feeling a wee bit guilty that Kat never finished her 1st grade [...]

One Week Ago :: Friday

These are technically from Thursday’s trip to the museum. Our Friday wasn’t all that eventful. We had a good week while George was away. I’m so thankful my parents, especially my mom, were able to spend extra time with the kids and help me out. It would have been far more challenging if they hadn’t. [...]

One Week Ago :: Thursday

The kids and I took mom to the local museum. Tiger LOVED this wall. He probably spent an hour there. Yes, the ball did go all the way from one side to the other with this arrangement. That is, as long as you used the ping-pong balls, not the golf balls.

On the way home from [...]

One Week Ago :: Wednesdsay

Today was a hard day for me. I know George is only going to be gone a week, but it had been several days since he left, yet his return on Saturday still seemed so far away.
The kids and I took my mom on her very first trip to IKEA. I bought a [...]

One Week Ago :: Tuesday

Today was a tough day that was ending with all 3 kiddos crying (uh, screaming) in unison at bedtime. My evening took a turn for the better, however, when my cell phone notified me that I had a voice message from George. The team was tired from the work today but it looked like they [...]

One Week Ago :: Monday

Cousins at the park.
Kat and Tiger are coming back today with Gran, but they won’t leave until this afternoon. Bear and I ran a few errands and found ourselves only a few miles from my sister-in-law, Christy. The cousins played at a park for a little while and then we had a quick dinner with [...]
