This is going to be a rather long post....but I needed to get the memories posted! Amidst an emergency room visit and sickness, our Spring Break Vacation was actually a time of relaxation and peace. I really enjoyed the time of leisure. I mostly stayed away from the computer. We watched movies, we played the Wii, we did puzzles, I made meals for the family, and we just spent quality time together. It's just nice to get away from normal life from time to time. It all kind of started on Wednesday, April 4th when the kids and I used different flavors of Kool-Aid to dye our Easter Eggs. It was so fun and I can't wait to try new flavors out next year. Before we dyed the eggs, the kids used crayons to draw designs on the eggs. We found out that the blue Kool-aid turned out the best! The ... [Read More]

Life 365 | Week 49
Monday, November 29, 2010 We traveled home today and the kids got to skip school. Cleaning and doing laundry and trying to get organized for the following week!

Life 365 | Week 2
Monday, January 4, 2010 Time to get back to reality. The kids went back to school today and then we started doing cleaning/organizing of their rooms. We cleared out some shelves and spots for their new toys! Tuesday, January 5, 2010 My computer has been really sluggish lately - so I wiped the hard drive clean and started reinstalling everything and backing everything up. I almost had it ready when my internal hard drive completely died on me. So we took it to Simply Mac to have a new hard drive installed. The good news is that my original 250gb hd is going to be replaced with a internal 500gb hard drive - so I'm going to have space! It will be great. My great hubby also purchased me a 1TB Time Capsule - so I will have a great backup system now when I get my computer ... [Read More]
