I have been searching everywhere for a Luke Skywalker costume! I found a few online, but the choices were very limited and expensive for what they were – mostly polyester. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find any Luke costumes locally. I looked at Target, Walmart, and the Halloween [...]

My Boy Is In Love

My boy CJ is in love. A month ago he got this huge smile on his face and told me “I think I’m falling in love with Katrina.”
Katrina is a cute 2nd grader (older woman!) in CJ’s class.
This past weekend CJ said “I’m going to marry Katrina.”
I said “Oh really? What do you like about [...]

Hello, I’m still here! Some of you may have noticed that it has been a long time since I’ve blogged. I don’t have any great excuses, except that I’ve been particularly busy lately – probably just like the rest of you.
My sweet boy CJ turned 6 recently and my Dad and stepmom drove up for [...]

I’m not saying we’re too lazy to take CJ to the park – but this seems to do the trick. It’s too cold at the park anyway.
My hubby DA says it looks like he’s “kicking him to the curb” LOL!
Who knew DA could kick that high?

I have been wishing for more cozy Winter days and my wish was granted on Tuesday. The weather man said snow was coming, but I didn’t really believe it until it happened. We awakened to a winter wonderland – and it was beautiful. It snowed heavily all morning and we waited and watched. In the [...]

Now that Christmas is over we have spent a nice, relaxing week being lazy and cozy. In fact, I’m having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. It has rained a lot here and that makes it easier to stay inside and be close. We’ve spent our time playing board games, watching [...]
The Spirit of Christmas

CJ took a carousel ride tonight – his first one ever. I don’t know why he never liked to ride them before, I think it had something to do with fluid in his ears. But tonight we went to a big park in our new city where they have a holiday train, lots of Christmas [...]
Merry Christmas – Baaaah

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas from me and my little sheep. This is my son CJ dressed up like a sheep for last year’s Christmas pageant at our church. Check out those ears! I made them myself from a ladies Winter headband and some pieces of wooly felt and flannel. My husband says he looks like a [...]
