Thursday Things I Knew I'd Hear...

Published on 9.27.2012 in

Monday morning I was trying to get Mini #2 ready for school.  My family had been here all weekend and were also getting ready to leave. 
 
Mini #2 was NOT cooperating.
 
"Buddy, we've got to get ready to go to school."
 
"Me no go school."
 
"Oh really?  Where are you going then?"
 
"Me go Papa's house."
 
Of course...

DIY of the week...going healthy

Published on 9.25.2012 in

Engineering Man has been annoying me with these wonderful food documentaries.
 
Documentaries about how I need to cut out butter, and sugar, and animal fats...
 
For a farm girl...this sucks...
 
But, I love my husband, so I've been looking for some recipes...
 
This is on my to do list for the week.
 
I'll keep you posted...

Friday's Favorites...communication in marriage

Published on 9.21.2012 in ,

A little over a week ago, Engineering Man got strep throat...again.

And couldn't talk during the Nebraska game.

It had it perks.

Anyway, after the game, he tried to tell me something and I decided to record it.

Enjoy!

Mini #1's first baseball game...OR...The next 14+ years of our lives...

Published on 9.18.2012 in ,

***For those of you following my P90X saga, I'm skipping the next two weeks.  On Tuesday, October 1, I'll post our before and after final shots...***
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mini #1 had his first baseball game on Saturday.

It made me super happy.

One...because I love the game...

...and TWO...because it's 5-year-old baseball...  It's hilarious.

Anyway, here's some shots from the game...
 
...warming up with his coach...
