The boys have been tramautised . . .

So, my two oldest boys arrived home from school only to be tramautised by the sight of their grandparents clad only in their swimming gear lazing around the pool.  When asked if they wanted to go in the pool and join them, the oldest replied, “No, it’s too bright out there with grandad’s white stomach!!”
Sorry [...]

Nature Coast Botanical Gardens playdate . . .

 
So, this morning we met my friend Ruth and co. for a play date with my munchkin and in-laws at the local botanical gardens.  Hubby decided at the last minute that he would like to tag along so we ended up being a little bit late waiting on him to clean himself up!  Anyway, we [...]

Tuesday Toot Time . . .

I’ve trained Logan to put his dirty diapers (not the poopy ones!) in the trash can!!  Makes us a much more efficient diaper changing team!
And, I’ve lasted 2 weeks with the in-laws without killing anyone!!!  Still a week to go though and anything can happen!!

Aaah, the weekend . . .

Saturday was a pretty quiet day in all.  DS#1 added some excitement to the morning by announcing at 10:30 a.m. that he was supposed to have been at a group piano lesson for 10 a.m.  So, I kicked DH’s arse in gear and had him take the young lad to his lesson! 
We decided to spend the [...]

Bit of bad news . . .

So, yesterday DH comes home from work earlier than expected.  I jumped up all pleased and excited as I thought he had actually come home to spend some time with his parents (they came to see him after all, not me) only to have him to tell us that he had been laid off.  OMFG!  [...]

Cereal in the morning might conceive a boy?

According to a new study from Exeter University, eating cereal for breakfast dramatically increases a woman’s chances of conceiving a boy rather than a girl. Researchers found up to 59% of women who got pregnant after eating high-energy breakfasts had sons, compared with only 43% of women in a control group who skipped breakfast.
Well, I’m [...]

How to feel like the worst host possible . . . and on St. George’s Day too!

So, my Brit friend Ruth came over yesterday for a cuppa tea and a sit down with her little munchkin James and her parents who are visiting from the UK.   We thought it would be nice for the little ones and the old ones to have a combined play date and we could maybe sneak [...]

Tarpon Springs . . .

So, today I feel like we actually did SOMETHING with the in-laws other than shop or eat!  Well, we actually did that too!  He he! 
Anyway, DH took the day off work so we decided to go to the lovely Greek community of Tarpon Springs for a wander along the world famous Sponge Docks. Located on Florida’s [...]
