Isaac on . . . Play dough

Isaac on playing with play dough:
“Mommy, how do I get all of this playdough out of my pants?”

Wordless Wednesday

Here is our lovely Miss M sitting at the table putting her feet on it.  A new, very bad habit that I just had to photograph.

It is Sad . . .

Tonight I watched the show Jon and Kate Plus 8.  It used to be one of my favorites.  I watched it every Monday night, then I started noticing Kate being a tad harsh in the way that she talked to Jon and I just quick watching it.  Every time she spoke, she talked about their [...]

For all of my dear Baptist friends and relatives (yes you, Dad), you may want to look away because I am going to be talking about dancing and syncopated music.  Today my son decided to turn on our CD player and bust a move.  I tried to capture the essence of his awesome dance moves, [...]
