Children/Kids

I never have enough groceries!

So over the weekend, I gave in and took E. to see Jurassic Park in IMAX 3D.

Last week my itty bitty sweet and innocent little angel went for her first job interview.  Uh, when did this little baby get told she could grow up?  She was just my baby, all sweet and perfect.

We don't eat out a whole lot, by a whole lot, I mean about once per week.  No matter where we go I always get E. a kids meal.  It seems like the easiest option.

Sometimes, I am amazed that I am still able to function with at least a minimal level of sanity.

This is the fourth and final week of the Happy Plate series in honor of National Nutrition Month “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day” which encourages the development of a healthful eating plan that incorporates individual food choices and preferences...

Last week we had some beautiful days, so we  packed up the kids when Daddy got home from work and off to the park we went.  It was so very nice.  The kids went to the playground, Daddy and Mommy went for a walk, and it was such a great time.

There is one question that plagues me daily… “What’s for dinner?”  While it may sound simple for some, just the idea of meal planning for my family stresses me out.

Like so many other things in my life, blah woe is me, I dropped the ball in turning in my Sunday night homework last week. Big surprise. I literally floated through the weekend and Monday morning came and I had never given a single thought to writing up a blog. Mom brain, much? Mom-in-the-middle-of-planning-a-first-birthday-party brain is more like it.

So over the last few days my son has been talking about the Easter Bunny.  He keeps talking about what the Easter Bunny is gonna bring him.  I am not talking just a basket full of candy, and eggs.  He is expecting the Easter Bunny to bring him an $85 Lego set.  I have no idea where he got the idea that the bunny is the equivalent to Santa.

As a younger adult/teen, I never thought a shower would be so wonderful.  Sometimes as a parent the shower is my escape, my sweet quiet moment from the chaos of having 6 kids in a really small house.
