E.B. woke up with a coughing fit at 2 AM this morning, then proceeded to get sick. All over the bed. It required a bath for him and lots of sheet washing. Once I got him bathed, he settled back in for the rest of the night and slept well. He has been View Post
I thought I’d show off a few more reading fair projects from our district reading fair last month. There were so many great reading fair projects that it sure was tough to judge. What made this even more fun was how excited the students were to View Post
Yesterday E.B. was in a grouchy mood. His video game was frustrating him and everything else, it seemed, in his little world was just not right. Poor baby. He gets it honest from his mama. It was a beautiful day, so my husband View Post
Yesterday, I had a pretty big bout of the "ungratefuls". I stomped around and huffed and puffed until I finally took a break and ran to the grocery store. The little "alone time" in doing that left me feeling pretty ridiculous by the time I had View Post

After the wonderful reading fair we had at the school 2 weeks ago, the district reading fair was this past Friday and…WOW! I was so amazed by the creative story boards these kids came up with. I am SO glad I did not have to judge this one because View Post
This past Saturday E.B. got to experience his first horse ride. He went to a cowboy-themed birthday party at a real barn out in the country. It was absolutely freezing, but that didn’t stop my little guy from thoroughly enjoying View Post
