Labor Day Shenanigans 2011 (Part 2)

So, after we finished at the museum, we went to a place called Sports Center (also in Topeka), that has mini-golf, go-karts, batting cages, a driving range, and arcade-type stuff. We did the first three, and also had a pizza picnic in the breezy sunshine (did I mention the weather […]

Labor Day Shenanigans 2011 (Part 1)

Every year, my family does something for Labor Day. It’s been a tradition for the last, I don’t know…8 years or more. Ever since our family started growing and it became harder to get everybody together for the more “traditional” family holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas).This year, we went to the Mulvane […]

FIVE MONTHS?!

Big Erv is five months old. Wait…WHAT?My baby can’t be FIVE months old already, can he?!I guess…he was born before Henry got out of preschool…and we did just finish an entire summer…and school has started again. I guess it’s POSSIBLE he’s five months old.But I don’t want to believe it.Sigh.Things […]

Yet Another Meet the Teacher Night. Oy.

Give Peas A Chance

Big Erv turns five months old on Wednesday, and since he gobbled up the vanilla ice cream that his grandma gave him at a birthday party recently, and because diaper changes were starting to get a touch boring around here (HA!), I thought it was time for him to try […]

ROAWR! (Fun At The Zoo)

Our family hasn’t really done much in the way of family trips/vacations/outings this summer, mostly because we’re still trying to figure out how to do it all with four kids.But, last weekend was BEAUTIFUL. I think the high was about 87, and it was breezy and gorgeous out. We had […]

Oy to the Mama.

It’s been quite a day.First, Essie saw an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor about her tongue tie. The doctor said the skin thingy under her tongue is definitely longer than average, and we decided that even if it wasn’t certain that it would affect her speech or anything later on, […]

Thinning.

I’m on my second week of Weight Watchers (lost five pounds so far-yay!). But this isn’t about me.This is about him:My boy is losing his hair. Fast. The hair he DOES still have is long…and straggly.Do you remember this luscious hair, only four and a half months ago?I think he’s […]
