  We decided at the last minute for the kids and me to go to Wyoming!  So we’re running around trying to get everything ready.  Grocery bags make great organizers.

  For something totally different, we decided to go try out the Sonic Drive-In that opened a little while ago.  It was fun!  Even though it was the six of us (well, just five eating) sitting in our van with not a whole lot of room, we talked and talked.  Some of our conversation included […]

  My sister-in-law braided her two girls’ hair while we were out at my parents’-in-law.  E3 wanted her to braid hers just like her cousins, and then she showed off the result so I could take 1 picture (and she was not budging on the only 1- the second is hilarious with her hiding behind her […]

  I think I have mentioned before that part of our family’s birthday celebrations include the birthday person getting to decide on a place to eat out.  Because of everything going on at the time, we didn’t get to go out for a birthday lunch for K. I guess it had been a pretty yucky day […]

  The oldest 2 were watching an episode of the evening Pokemon marathon that was going on all week.  E4 was crawling around them, trying to get them to play with her, so E2 gave her pieces of his Yu-Gi-Oh pyramid puzzles.  I thought there was something a bit ironic with her chewing on Yu-Gi-Oh while they […]
