The Secret to a Successful Relationship

If she eats garlic, he eats garlic.
If he eats onions, she eats onions.
(You get the idea.)
Makes for equal kissing ground later on.

Various Wonderings

I’ve had various thoughts float through my head over the past few days:
Is it bad that the kids like Hot Pockets? And worse that I know Logan can eat two of them?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Why did the new sheets only work at keeping Burke in bed for one night?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Why is it that Logan can play by [...]

How To Keep a 4 Year Old In Bed

New sheets! (and comforter)
Last night marked the VERY first night that I didn’t have to move Burke into bed from the floor, or rocking chair, or some other spot he’d decided was a good place to sleep.

Snow?

Remember all that snow we had last week?? It’s pretty much GONE. Over 20 inches of snow disappeared while we were in Vermont. The kids are heartbroken!

I hope you’re having a nice, relaxing day that goes exactly the way you want.
Love you!

There were too many gifts to go through, but I have to say, I think Aunt Sharon and Uncle Jason take [...]

Christmas Morning Craziness

With 13 people gathered – 4 under the age of 4, Christmas morning can get a little overwhelming.
Burke and Maggie found their stockings almost immediately.
And where was Logan this fine morning at 8am?
Logan slept until 9:30 until my Dad went in and poked him. Poor guy had two nights in a row where he was [...]

Merry Christmas!

Cruising to Vermont

We drove to Vermont yesterday and had a relatively easy time. (*gasp* No potty stops!) Burke fell to sleep for a little bit, but for the most part all 3 kids were awake and in pretty good moods the whole way.
Along the way, Maggie and I had the following conversation:
Maggie: What’s your name?
Me: My name [...]
