  2011 started with a clean sweep, literally. Damion cleaned the garage while I was waking up (it's a process that shouldn't be rushed) We raked and bagged the rest of the leaves out front. Went on a family walk and played on the neighborhood graffiti wall  playground. We also took a plastic bag and picked up trash on our walk. Princess Girly Girl loved making the earth "all pretty". She's such a girl. Went to dinner at Fudruckers, which I LOVE. I think it's the cheese sauce. It reminds me of the skating rink in the summer of 5th grade. 99% of the time I went there to see the … [Read more...]

Remember yesterday when I told you that our neighbors might possible hate us because of the ratio of leaves to trees in our and now their yards? Here's the proof: Their yards: Our Yard: Finally it started to bug me enough that I wanted to rake it up. Damion wasn't home and there was no way I was getting all this done by myself so I convinced two princesses, dressed in their Sunday best (seriously), to help me. Of course I didn't just say, "let's go break our backs for three hours to rake this up and bag it."  I'm clever and the product of a work horse father, so I know how to get kids … [Read more...]

Today things bubbled over   Someone apparently put dish soap in the dishwasher instead of dish washing soap. That person shall remain nameless even though she is my oldest and I love her. This is also her second time to do this in the past few months.  The dog was a huge help .... See him laying there. What do we keep him around for again? I sent Damion this picture and he called me immediately to make sure that I was cleaning it up and not just standing there, taking pictures. I had to finish running the dishwasher with towels jam packed underneath it and bubbles pouring out … [Read more...]

Honestly, I don't like Halloween. I'm not a lover of ghouls, ghosts, devils, etc.  I celebrate it with our kids because Damion wants to. If it was just up to me, we would not have done anything this year, which turns out would have been missing a great day. Today was wonderful. I sewed all the costumes for the girls, a princess, a Tinkerbell, and a M&M.  This afternoon while Princess Newbie was napping, we did hair, make up, and our nails. It was fun, the kind of fun that I didn't think would happen until school dances come into play. (if Damion will put down his shotgun long … [Read more...]
