Yes, we do have the 4th of July in the UK . . .

 . . .  it’s right after the 3rd of July and before the 5th!
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.  This is a question that I have been asked so many times over the years and there you have the answer I usually give with the most audacious grin you’ve ever seen! 
My family has actually celebrated Independence Day over the years wherever [...]

Anyone want to babysit my darling boys?

Got a joke for ya:
How many people does it take to babysit your kids when you’re not around?
Two.
One to entertain the littlest one and the other to just maintain order!
 I know!  It’s not REALLY a joke, but I found it rather amusing!  Both my Mum and my sister came over yesterday to babysit my boys [...]

Busy weekend . . .

Another day, another dollar! 
That is how I feel about working already! 
But, I did get to leave work early on Saturday so I could make it to my oldest son’s piano recital.  Hubby did well to get all three boys ready, looking smart and there on time as I met him at the local church where [...]

Memorial Day Weekend . . .

We spent Memorial Day at my mum’s house on the water and very nice it was as well! 
Well, except for my oldest brother who was a tad bit sarcy and the littlest munchkin kept whining and crying and the oldest one kept asking if he could go for a swim in the muddy water and the [...]

My brother, the MBA . . .

My oldest brother Allan graduated from the University of Tampa on Saturday with his MBA.  I forgot how long that ceremony is — we had to wait 2 hours to hear his name!  I left the boys home with DH — I knew if we all went along, I would just spend the time chasing Logan [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Renaissance Festival, here we come . . .

So, today I stupidly agreed to chaperon DS#1’s school field trip to Tampa’s Renaissance Festival along with my 8 and 1 year old!  I know, I know . . . what on earth was I thinking?  I hardly slept the night before for worrying about losing a child to a jester or a jousting knight, [...]

Nice Saturday afternoon out . . .

On Saturday, we headed out to the local botanical gardens, but after arriving there, my newly “extreme” hubby decided it wasn’t an exciting enough place.  He persuaded me to go walking at the Weeki Wachee preserve which suited me fine as DS#3 had just fallen asleep and there is no way a stroller would get through [...]
