Monday, November 15, 2010 My first try at making beef stew tonight. It wasn't the best, but not too bad. The kids seemed to like it. Tuesday, November 16, 2010 The kids had penny wars at school this week and so we had some fun emptying out our piggy bank and sorting and counting. Wednesday, November 17, 2010 I love Fall sunsets. This was the beauty for tonight - the picture doesn't do it justice. The kids and I stared at it for as long as we could before it was just too cold! Thursday, November 18, 2010 Joey got some new dice and the kids and him had some fun tossing them for awhile tonight. Friday, November 19, 2010 I was in the kitchen all day today, preparing for the weekend. I made rolls, egg noodles, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. ... [Read More]

Life 365 | Week 34
Monday, August 16, 2010 This morning, JJ and Beth took their stuffed tigers (Con and Sasha) and put them in Joey's backpack so they could "help" Dad at work. It was pretty adorable to see their heads sticking out of the backpack as Joey headed out the door! Unfortunately, Joey ended up being really late coming home tonight and Beth really wanted Sasha back to sleep with her. But I finally got her to go to sleep and when Joey came home he tucked Sasha in beside Beth. She was very happy in the morning! Tuesday, August 17, 2010 We finally got JJ in for his school haircut today! We decided to just buzz it off so that it would last longer. He looks great! We also finished our school shopping today so we're all set for next week! Wednesday, August 18, 2010 We surprised the kids ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 47
Monday, November 16, 2009 Joey had to take off work today to try and fix things around the house and I am just an emotional wreck. For some reason our finances, the trailer, my computer problems, and everything has weighed down on me so hard and I just feel broken. I feel like I am at a fork in the road in my life right now. I'm struggling with so many personal things and I am really feeling depression/stress set in. Which way is the right way? Where do we go from here? Tuesday, November 17, 2009 Beth has really been into having "collections" lately. From rocks to leaves, she has to collect at least 10 of things to have. At least she is seeing the beauty of the earth. I especially loved the colors of this leaf that we flattened in a book for her to keep. Wednesday, November 18, ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 39
Monday, September 21, 2009 I am grateful today for this wonderful preschool that Beth goes to and really enjoys. I love that it is within walking distance and I love that Beth gets to dance, karate, and singing in addition to academics. Tuesday, September 22, 2009 We were amazed by the sunset today - it was in such wonderful colors and the gradient from yellow to purple was astounding! Wednesday, September 23, 2009 Thanks to one of my dearest internet friends, Georgia - I was able to get my computer fixed. I expected that it wouldn't be done until at least Friday, but was surprised today when Joey brought it home to me! I missed my computer so much - I have been completely lost without it. Thursday, September 24, 2009 Sometimes life can just be ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 9
Monday, February 23, 2009 So I finally took the kids to the doctor today - I figured this had gone on long enough. Turns out both of them have Bronchitis. So we got some medicine and the doctor said they could go to school tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to having my kids back. They have been really irritable and understandably. JJ really digresses in his behaviors and other development and it's been not good the past couple of weeks. It worries me a lot and I hope it is just that he is sick. We've got to get us all well before our California trip! Tuesday, February 24, 2009 The kids went back to school today. They are still coughing quite a bit, but it seems a lot better! So hopefully we are on the mend. It was an incredibly nice day today. It is starting to feel like ... [Read More]
