October 2009


I think I discovered the secret to peace in this house. Are you ready? It’s Lawrence Welk. I’m not kidding. Everyone was tired and cranky and whining until I flipped through the channels…..instant peace when they heard it. Mental note to self: Saturday night 7:00 PBS. Kids were in bed and sleeping just after 7:30!!!

There’s a little pirate invading our house.  A hat, a patch, and a parrot on his shoulder saying Aarrggghh!!

Instead of asking ‘where’s my pirate costume?’  He says, “Where’s this at momma…..Aarrggghh?”  Cracks me up every time:-)

Love it.  The whole house smells like chili.  Love it.  Nice fresh and cool air coming in through the front door.  Love it.  Jeans and sweaters.  Love it.

We are almost back into our old routine after a whole week with Grandma and Grandpa R.  After a week of sans naps, late nights, and lots and lots of play we really r-e-a-l-l-y needed to get back into the swing of things.  Today went much better, so I’m hoping everyone will be a little happier now:-)

Hope you have a nice peaceful, restful week!!
