Dirt, Sticks and Mud
I am always amazed by children that don’t like to get dirty. Like if something sticky touches their hands they immediately stop doing that, or if they are outside playing they don’t specifically pick up dirt and sticks to chew on. Really, I guess amazed isn’t more the word but jealous of the mother of […]
Hand prints = Mothering fail
There are moments during motherhood where you feel you are striving, really providing, and teaching your children well. Like, when they use manners and share their toys with others. I smile, yes, I am doing something right. Then there are moments when you feel like you have completely, utterly failed. Today I am writing about […]
Rain, Rain, Come Our Way!
It rained here in southeast Texas, first time in forever, or, as I heard on the news, Texas is in the worst recorded drought ever! Ever folks, and it rained a lot, for a good hour. Needless to say we are a bit thrilled. Rain now is almost as fun as snow in Texas and […]
What’s that on your legs?
Yesterday morning the boys were playing outside in the back yard, while I was running (around the back yard), I stopped off in the house for a quick water and potty break. I mean heck they are almost 3 and there is absolutely nothing they could get into back there. You know where this is […]
Prairie Days festival
We went to our annual Prairie Day festival last weekend. They had lots of fun stuff for the kids to do, so we had to check it out. The boys rode the ponies, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Though they only walked them around 1 lap, ugh. They had face painting, a pumpkin for my pumpkins, […]
A day at the Rice fields
I am glad I know a few, good, hard working men in my life. You know the kind that drive big tractors, combines and trucks. The hardworking, sweaty kind. The kind that don’t mind getting dirty or a little physical work. The kind that have callused, dirt, engraved hands. The kind that wear wranglers and […]
For the weekend
Another where have I been post, they are getting a bit redundant aren’t they? But I promise this will be the last one, for awhile at least. As I am going to the bay for a relaxing, refreshing, rejuvenating trip. Yes the boys will be along. Yes there will be the hot sun, and cool […]
Where have I been?
I was lost in the bliss that is Jalapeno Margarita’s. Nah, though I can dream; Can’t I? This week I have been thrust in the trenches of potty training and dieting. Both in and of themselves could really make a person want to drink, and drink a lot. I started Monday morning with the Sacred […]
Dairy Farm Adventure
This week has been a little hectic, I am busy getting our house in order for the boys 2nd birthday party, and let me tell you our house needs some work. The clutter and junk that just piles up, ugh. Or the fact that as soon as I clean the floors in a matter of […]
Playing in the rain
Sometimes I think I must be the best mom in the world. See its been raining everyday for the past week, not that I am complaining we need it desperately. But the boys have been lacking in their outside time, so I figured they could play in the rain. I knew they would make a […]
