365 days, 365 pictures. That's my goal. Am I a photographer? Spend 30 seconds looking around, and you will see clearly I am not. But I do love preserving these days I have been given so that I can one day look back and remember them, because my memory is just not efficient enough to count on. Trust me.

We got a big package in the mail today, a belated anniversary gift from my long lost husband. I guess he knew I needed to wear some children out in a major way.

Preparations for summer are already underway. Today I found 5 carb popsicles, which means Hailey can eat them without a getting an injection. That pretty much makes these a summer staple..

This boy needs his routines. Every day his naps happen only if he has his paci, his blanket, a car or two or 5, a sippie, a snack unopened but to be consumed upon waking, (see rice crispie treat one the floor), and the same three songs. It's an event.

June 3


Many years ago, when I had just one boy, I was under the impression that they all liked action figures and super heros and all that boy stuff. So I purchased all sorts of "boy items" including this Star Wars sticker book. Jonas, not the typical boy, never touched it. So it has sat on our library shelf, undisturbed until Caleb. Now, it is officially the best book I have ever bought according to The Boy.

When Hailey earned Prestigious Student award again this year, her dad gave explicit instructions to take this little girl shopping for an outfit. So, we headed to the mall where she picked up the skirt, shirt, earrings, and headband. And she has worn them and worn them and worn them. Her dad knows the way to Hailey's heart.

While cleaning up today, I began to wonder how many Lightning McQueens we atcually have? And once I stopped counting at 13, I began to wonder if any of them are the same. No two alike in this bunch!

day 150

The bishopric came over to visit me today, since I am a temporary single mom. They came to see if I was okay. Luckily the table was clear and wiped clean. But cars were littered all over the library and the boys looked like homeless children. As they stood to leave, they had to step over Porter's bologna, and I knew I was anything but okay.
