Christmas Cookies

The boys and I made Christmas cookies this week. What I thought would be a magical bonding experience with my 2 small children turned into one LARGE mess. Trying to get a 5 year old & a 2 year old to share the bowl, the spoon and most importantly--the sprinkles was quite a feat in itself!!! The boys had so many squabbles (is that a word?) I began to wonder---"What am I doing and more importantly--- WHY????" I hope the boys had fun through all the crying because I had no idea how tired I would be when those cookies came out of the oven! Whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww......

Wordless Wednesday...

Christmas Past # 2

These pictures were taken in November of 2006. It's crazy to see how much the boys have grown, esp. Dargan. He was such a little fat round baby...Now he's just as skinny as his big brother was when he was that age. 2006 was a good year.....

Deal of the Day

I do pride myself in being a "GOOD" shopper. Let me translate a bit if I may. I am a FIRM believer that the MORE you shop, the BETTER shopper you become. I have repeatedly tried to explain this to my husband who just does NOT get it! But it's true-prime example was today. Being the CLEAN HOUSE (my favorite TV show) fanatic that I am, I took a load of stuff to my nearest Good Will this morning. Well, if I'm already there I thought I might as well take a peak inside. To my amazement I found this nearly NEW Kelly's Kids romper with a dump truck on the front! To top it off I got it for a mere $2.99!!! Now that has to be the deal of the day or maybe the week, or should I shudder to say-the month???? I'll let you decide....

Russ and I went to the Minnesota Vikings vs. Jacksonville Jaguars football game in Jacksonville on November 23rd. It was a 4 and 1/2 hour drive to Jacksonville, but with no kids it was quite a vacation! We got there early on Saturday and did a little shopping and had dinner at a Little Italy restaurant. I even treated myself to a Raspberry cosmo---yummy. The game was great since the Vikings lead the entire time. It was a lot of fun and the boys had a great visit with Rusty's Mom "Mimi."
