This is What I Call Indepence Day!

I can’t tell you how ready we were for school to start today. We have been waiting and planning and talking and…waiting some more. We went on Monday thinking it started. Oops!

No School Fool!

I admit, I never thought it would happen, but I cried at the kids’ pre-school today.  We got all ready for the first day of school.  We packed lunches.  We wore cute outfits.  We talked about our teachers and how excited we were to see our friends again.  We attempted to take first day pictures [...]

Tuckered Out by Disney

I can’t wait to tell you all about Disney, but after 4 days spent with 3 little ones in 3 different parks, we are pooped. The kids were tired enough to sleep together every night – no wrestling.  This is unheard of.  We may actually have been able to pull off that whole Family Bed [...]
