I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I started making bento lunches for CJ. We have had a fun-filled year of lunch adventures. Thanks to my friend Keiko, my bento stash has expanded [...]

How To Make A Luke Skywalker Costume
Posted in Crafts, Everything Else, Family, kids, tagged costume, halloween, light saber, sewing, star wars on October 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Previously posted as “Luke, I Am Your…Mother” in October 2008.
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 [...]

What are these Bakugan
I seem to keep stepping on?
Little balls that pop right open,
waiting for my feet to trip on.
Do they really need an arena
When they won’t stay where you can see them?
I tell my boy to put them away,
But he says “Please Mommy, just one more day!”
I guess I’ll learn to play myself,
I don’t think [...]

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 [...]
My Valentine Boy

CJ had his school Valentine’s Day party yesterday. It was actually called “Love Day” at his school and was filled with all things about love – a chapel lesson about Jesus’ love for us, stories about love, and valentines to exchange with his classmates. CJ wore his red Valentine’s Day shirt from two years ago with the little dog [...]

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?
Snow Day

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 [...]
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 [...]
