We’ve been aware for a while now that our elementary school is over capacity and that the school district is taking steps to alleviate the problem. In fact when we were registering Cameron for Kindergarten we got a notice that they were asking families to change to another of the elementary schools in the district. […]
We have always said Cameron had a hard head. As a baby he used to flail around when we would play with him and if his head accidentally knocked into yours you were down for the count. Meanwhile baby Cameron was still happily shrieking with laughter, no worse for wear from hitting his head. Evidently, […]
I know it’s a bit cliché and pretty much everyone does this kind of thing at this time of year, but there are so many things that I am thankful for this year that I wanted to write them down and share them. Three healthy, happy children… I know that a lot of this blog […]
Kaylee was in desperate need of a haircut. I’d been noticing over the last few weeks that she was rubbing her eyes like crazy and finally realized it was because her bangs had gotten long enough to reach past her eyebrows and were just long enough to be tickling her eyelashes which is what was […]
Matt had, in my opinion, the worst possible schedule this past weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday he had to work from 10:30-7:00. Early enough that he couldn’t really do anything before he had to work and late enough that the kids would be going to bed so we couldn’t do very much after he got […]
There are times when things are stressful and it can seem like everything that can go wrong has or will soon. I’ve definitely not been as perky and upbeat as I usually am since Matt started working. I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating. Taking care of the three kids all day every day […]
Saturday morning was one of the busiest we’ve had in quite a while. Cameron had been invited to a birthday party for one of the little boys in his class and as of Saturday morning I hadn’t found a chance to go shopping for his party yet. We also had some things we needed to […]
Friday was a very big day in our house. Brendan had a field trip that he’d been looking forward to for a few weeks, and we had a hockey game that night. So I knew going into the day that the kids were going to be all sorts of wound up. On nights that we […]
With every passing day it gets harder and harder for me to refer to Kaylee as a baby. I know I probably should’ve gotten past that by now seeing as she’s three, but seeing as she’s my last it’s been hard for me to admit she’s growing up. Slowly over the past year though she’s […]
I hate to say this, but it was inevitable. We knew at some point that it was going to happen, and it was more a matter of when. So I wasn’t too surprised when I got the phone call…well maybe a little surprised that it had taken as long as it did. What am I […]
