The Safe I Never Knew I Had ... 2007-06-14 07:45:00 Emily was recently an afternoon of coloring, which is one of her favorite past times. Every single piece of paper that she lays a crayon or marker to is a masterpiece in her eyes (and mine as well). To make it even better, she takes the scissors and cuts each...

He's a Little Runaway ... 2007-06-12 08:33:21 The night before last, Jake was not happy with a decision hubby and I had made as parents.

THE GREATEST LOSER 2007-06-16 15:47:00 My Up For A Challenge thing didn't really pan out. Except for Crissy Bug, no one wanted to participate. Boo Hoo. Thank you Crissy Bug. I hope you had better luck than I. It's just not in the cards for me, I suppose. However, if any of you IOWA readers...
Why #2 2007-06-16 12:43:34 Why does an isolated shower always come through about 2 hours after I spend 30 minutes in the heat watering my flowers and garden? WHY!?...
Family of 8 2007-06-20 07:47:19 It won't be long until my family of six, turns into a family of eight. No! I'm not pregnant with twins. No! We're not adopting.

On The Road Again ... 2007-06-19 09:42:39 This past weekend was spent traveling again for Jake's baseball. It was over in Rock Island, IL which only about an hour and a half from here, so the drive wasn't too bad. However, the heat was. As parents, are we nuts to sit out in upper 90 degree heat,...

Who Needs a Housekeeper? 2007-06-25 08:55:41 Not me! Well, I could surely use one to make my life easier, but that's not going to happen at this point in our lives. Raising four children isn't exactly cheap, and while I'd like to hire someone to come in and clean bathrooms and mop floors, I realize that... Read more:Needs
Where are you set? 2007-06-22 09:39:48 Every summer, it's an issue. Every summer, it's a disagreement. Every summer, it's a struggle. How can a simple number cause so much havoc in one household? Just out of curiosity, where is your thermostat set during the summer months?...

Swiper, No Swiping! 2007-07-02 07:41:00 I admit, Dora the Explorer is on the television in this house probably more than it should be. If I had to guess, I would assume every toddler and preschooler who is totally infatuated with this show (as my two girls are) would see Dora as their idol. Not my...
Not Nice To Judge ... 2007-07-01 22:39:17 Two of my kids ate bologna and cheese sandwiches for dinner. One had cereal. One a PBJ. If you can guess which kids had what ... I'll send you a nice prize (seriously). I think I should win Mother of The Year, don't you? ... ya know, because I make... Read more:Judge

The Beginning of Withdrawls 2007-06-29 07:36:00 This afternoon we leave for Des Moines, Ankeny actually, for the State Baseball Tournament. Being the last tournament of the year, I can't help but be a little sad. My heart hurts a bit thinking that it will all be over in just 3 short days. After watching all of...

The Innocence of A ... Ah ... Drew! 2007-07-03 19:40:00 I was watching a movie from long ago, though I hadn't seen it yet. Cold Mountain. Great movie I might add.

Why #3 2007-07-02 14:16:00 Why can Jake go out in the backyard to play baseball with all his friends and hit the ball every single time, but when he is up to bat at his games, he strikes out more than he hits? WHY?...
