Today is National Tooth Fairy Day and National Chocolate Souffle Day. I got up early and took Phelix out for our weekly hike at Arabia Mountain. When he realized where we were, he was SOOO happy! Afterwards, Camille and I enjoyed lunch at Moe’s and ran some errands. Rob and Chloe participated in the Great

As our trip approach, I thought I covered just about anything I might want to do with the kids on our big “Thanksgiving trip to NYC”. But then I realized I had forgotten one big thing — the Rockettes’ Christmas Spectacular! Luckily, there were plenty of tickets left and a showtime that worked for our

Today is National Pistachio Day and Tell a Fairy Tale Day and National Chili Day and Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day. The kids were home from school on this “snowless” day. A constant flow of kids coming and going and then a houseful of 7-8 kids made it hard for me to get my

Today is National Chocolate Covered Nuts Day and Paper Currency Introduced in US Day. The girls had a “snow” day though it didn’t even start to rain until the afternoon. We had a little bit of snow fall, but nothing stuck except in a few small places. Chloe hung out with friends on the square

Today is National Tortilla Chip Day. The girls headed off to school in snow flurries. After working during the morning, I spent 4.5 hours at the Red Cross and still didn’t get done all that I needed to do. I spent the next two hours shopping at IKEA, Target and Kroger. I’m getting closer to

photo friday: window shopping in nyc
After skating and breakfast at Rockefeller Center and then at various times during the day, we had a hour or two to spend. We spent it window shopping. Some time in the Nintendo store playing. Some time at American Girl reminiscing. Some time at the Lego store adding to the wish list. And time at

Today is National Chocolate Mint Day and Chinese New Year. Chilly out this morning. My hair froze while walking Phelix. I still went without socks… Barbara came down from the cabin to take Chloe shopping during the afternoon despite the chilly weather. Our Moore’s Farm box came in – grapefruits, strawberries, duck eggs! (accidental mixup),

Today is “Drink Wine Day”. Ironic since I gave up alcohol and candy for Lent… I spent most of my day working. I had fallen a little bit behind with the girls around needing me to do things, but I caught up and also accomplished two major tasks and am feeling more confident, so that’s

Today is National Gumdrop Day. A quiet Sunday at our house. Rob and the girls headed out so Camille could help in the art store in Avondale and go to the library. I finished reading Walking Home: A Pilgrimage from Humbled to Healed by Sonia Choquette. I like this one much more than “Eat, Pray,

Today is Valentine’s Day. Other than all the conversation hearts and decorations, we didn’t really celebrate … My parents arrived a bit after noon. Phelix was over the moon to see his grandparents! And then a “hike”, even if urban, could not be beat! When we got back from our Decatur adventures, the poor, exhausted
photo friday: skating at rockefeller center
While planning our Thanksgiving week in New York City, I thought it might be fun for the girls to get a chance to skate at Rockefeller Center. The idea of standing in a line to do so was not attractive to me, so instead I signed us up for the Perfect Start. The pakcage included
