Mom, Geek and Kids

Busy, busy...

For a while now, the geek and I have been trying to figure out a way to keep track of all the kid's appointments... along with playgroups and school functions and everything else. We finally decided to create a large calendar to hang in our entryway. I found an empty frame at a thrift store, he cut a piece of masonite to fit, and I painted it with chalkboard paint. I finally got it hung up yesterday. It's scary to see it all written out- we really are busy!

Notice tomorrow's square? There's nothing in it! It's the first weekday this month we haven't had an appointment scheduled! Yay!

Kid's Tree

Here's our downstairs tree- the kid's tree... also known as the "Dora the Explorer" tree. There's Dora ornaments, Dora lights... even presents wrapped with Dora paper! Anything for the kids!
It's a-DORA-ble! (sorry, I couldn't resist!)

Every year we take a picture of the kid's helping us put the tree-topper on- it's amazing to see how much bigger they've gotten (the kids, not the tree)!


While we were decorating the tree, DS thought it was hilarious to stand on the coffee table, jump up onto the couch, climb onto the back of the couch, and jump off... hoping someone would catch him along the way! The geek and I didn't think it was hilarious!

Five Years Ago Today...

Happy five-year anniversary honey! I love you!

A Visit with Santa...

A few weeks ago our playgroup hosted a holiday party for all its members. There was great food, fun, games and crafts for both kids and adults!

Santa even paid us a visit!! Neither DD or DS seemed especially thrilled with meeting him, but we did manage to get a couple pics of all of us!





Is it just me or does Santa look somewhat concerned in this picture? We were one of the last groups to get our pics taken... I think Santa was ready to be done!



It was a great party! We have really enjoyed meeting the other parents in the group and the kids love to scope out all the other little ones! It's a great group!

Bye, Bye Crib!

Well, DD's crib has officially been dismantled and passed onto another family! Luckily, this transition hasn't been too difficult- DD seems to love her new big-girl bed! Of course, I'm knocking on wood even as I type this- I would hate to jinx it!
We've been having some bad weather, so no school for DD today! We're all feeling a little claustrophobic here!
I'll load some pics soon! I can't find the memory card to load anything!

Success!

DD slept in her "big-girl" bed for the entire night last night! It's been a slow transition, but we're hoping this continues!
Both the kids have colds and DD has been home from school all week! Makes for long days for Mommy!
Hope to post some pics soon! The kids aren't looking their best this week- there's a lot of runny noses and snotty faces!
