    A Trash Truck Party for Hudson’s 4th Birthday

    Because that is now a thing. Several months before his birthday (much too early, in fact), Hudson announced out of the blue that he was going to have “a trash truck party at the dump, and everyone in our whole entire city is invited!” My initial reaction was, “Umm… No.” But after some coaxing from my husband, and a few Pinterest searches, I decided to give it a go. Turns out it’s easier to throw a trashy party than I thought! Okay, stop right here. Before I go…

    Family Halloween Costumes – 101 Dalmatians

    Over the years, we have become well known among friends and neighbors for our family Halloween costumes. People wait anxiously every year to see what ridiculous looks we can come up with. I wasn’t sure how this year’s theme of 101 Dalmatians would turn out, but as usual, I think we nailed it! Hudson has been in a “doggy” phase. All day long he barks, licks, and walks around on all fours. If he is being human, it is only because Harper is now his doggy. We had…

    Camping Parties are S’more Fun!

    Every single year as I am prepping for Harper’s birthday party I swear up and down that the next year we are doing it somewhere else. Somewhere that requires me to do nothing but hand over my credit card. Having her parties at home I always go overboard. I always spend too much money. I always stress about decorations and food being ready in time. I always invite more people than could possibly fit inside my home. And I always, I mean always drive my husband crazy.  But…

    Halloween Costume Themes

    If my family is known for anything it is for our Halloween costumes. And maybe that our house always reeks of stinky bulldog, or that we have a ton of pilots, or that the kids are… crazy… But we are definitely known for our family Halloween costume themes. I wouldn’t even say Halloween is anyone’s favorite holiday, but it has kinda become a thing with my family. Way back when our dogs were our only children, we started dressing them up for Halloween… okay we dressed them up…

    Hudson is a Wild ONE!

    Back in the days when I thought I could plan a pregnancy and birth whenever I wanted, I swore I would never have a summer baby because, well, Houston. But because God likes to laugh at me, I delivered a sweet baby boy at the end of June. This means summer birthdays for the rest of my life. On the bright side, at least He had a little mercy on me and didn’t go for August. It could always be worse. Before my sister had kids, she always…

    My mom always said that the older her kids got, the more she was truly able to enjoy them. Then she would have to clarify that she loved us when we were little, but blah, blah, blah… My kids are still pretty small(ish) and I can totally agree that the older they get, the more I can do with them, but I just cannot get enough of their babyness. Their eyelashes, their chubby toes, the way they smother themselves with a blanket to go to sleep, I just…

    Best Photo Printing Sites

    Guys, my pictures are probably more important to me than they should be. So when I have them printed I want the very best quality I can possibly get. But I’ve wondered for years though which site really is the very best. Usually, the site I choose is based on what I plan to do with the pictures. If they are going in a frame or a scrapbook it has to be Mpix. I know they aren’t cheap but money is no object in those situations, though my…

Of course, I was still freezing. But I was happy.
Few things cause as much stress for me as family b Few things cause as much stress for me as family bingo night at school.

Kinda triggers a roll call flashback. That heart-pounding morning ritual where every day I would count the names leading up to the dreaded moment when the teacher would call my name and I would be forced to utter a single word in front of a room full of my peers. 

 Here.

What if I missed my name and got counted absent?
What if I answer to the wrong name?
What if I wasn’t loud enough and everyone looked for me?
What if I was too loud and everyone looked AT me?
What if my voice cracked and they all laughed?
What if I got confused and said the wrong word?

I’d practice silently with each name before mine. Here… here… here…

BINGO!!

I have no understanding of this. ⁣⁣

Does this also mean they do not spend weeks and months leading up to said vacation planning and researching and shopping? ⁣⁣
Do they not have lists of things to pack and places to eat and sites to see?⁣⁣
Do they not go places to see and do everything they POSSIBLY can?!?!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I know I get a bad rep for over scheduling and not planning any down time, but it’s not actually true. There are some things I have to schedule in advance, but usually I make a list of things we MIGHT like to do, research the heck out of them, and then we just decide what we want to do each day from there. The last time I planned nothing on a vacation, my husband got bored and wanted to go home early. 😏 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I am currently in planning mode and we are not going home early this time! ⁣⁣

Are you an adventurer, an experiencer and a planner? Orrrrr do you actually travel for rest and relaxation? ⁣⁣

For more cousin time we took the kids to a trampol For more cousin time we took the kids to a trampoline park. I tried for a little bit to capture this rare time they get together, but I couldn’t keep up and it is impossible to even know where they are at a place like this. I finally gave up and figured someone would let me know if they were dead. I sat my butt down and scrolled for so long I actually started reading news articles. 😳 The kids stopped by from time to time and only minor injuries were sustained. Another success.
