You don’t need a play by play of our Turkey Day dinner – but here’s a few pictures. Everything was delicious (if I do say so myself) and we had a really nice time with our little family.
By the way, no mashed potatoes – they were the last thing to make and once we realized [...]

I was sitting on the couch. Megan was in the chair. Ryan was on the floor in front of Meg and Dad was standing. It was time for Megan to go to bed.
Dad: Megan, kisses for Ryan.
(Cutest little kiss between bro and sis…)
Dad: Kisses for Daddy
(Sweet kiss for Dad)
Dad: Kisses for Mommy
Megan: (holds her hand [...]

Megan was crying. She woke up early and was probably cold or something…usually she lays back down and goes back to sleep for a little while. She was only crying for about 2-3 minutes when we heard from Ryan…
MEGAN! GO TO SWEEP!

Just so you don’t think that all I do is complain…here’s a few things I’m thankful for right now. :)
I’m grateful for my new Pampered Chef Silicone Pastry Mat. LOVE that it’s so easy to clean up after kneading the French Bread! (So worth the price after not having anything for so long!)
I’m grateful for [...]

Since I’m almost positive that most of Ric’s family doesn’t visit our blog, I’m relatively safe in posting this here. Even if they do – I’m not worried about what I have to say. I know that Ric feels the same way, but won’t say it. So here goes…this will probably be random and thrown [...]

*I’m almost 40. As a result, things are starting to fall apart, as in things in my body. I just found out today that I have “multiple small movable gall stones” and that I need to have my gallbladder out. I [...]

I put my brand new bra in the dryer. (Actually it was Ric, but more about that later.) The result was that the underwire on one side came out! I cannot find anywhere on this thing HOW it escaped! There are no holes, no open seams, no nothing! Believe me – I’ve been checking everywhere!
It’s [...]

This is the window in the kids room. That hole in the window was the result of Ryan banging his head into it because he didn’t want to take a nap. (Just a bump on his head, no cuts or anything – thank goodness!)
Apparently, we’re doing something wrong with our almost 3 year old son. [...]

I have learned at work that there will be another rate increase for shipping packages on January 18, 2009. This does not affect the price of stamps, only for packages. For more information, follow this link: 2009 USPS rates .Ship anything and everything you can before that date in order to save money and make [...]

CHECK YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS ONLINE EVERY DAY!
Sorry for shouting. :) But you’ll be glad that you did.
I usually check every other day or so (if not every day) to see what has cleared and make sure that nothing bounces. (Since we’re not “rollin’ in the dough” over here, I have to keep on top of [...]
