Great Children!

Yesterday was crazy and I had a lot to do.  The kids were locked into what I had to do and not able to do much of what they wanted.  We created this little giving tree for our family.  It consists of a cut out tree and slips of rolled paper with things we can [...]

Happy Presidents’ Day

Since this is a Federal holiday I’m off work today, which gave me no reason to be lazy around the house. The boys were away at their Grandma’s (with Kristy) and I was home with Alyson. We turned on some music, did a little dance and then tidied up a little. I also took down [...]

Alyson has a fever
