I Am a Terrible Photographer
2012-01-05 09:04
I got a new camera for Christmas. It's a Canon and waaaay better than that piece of crap Nikon I had. I thought I would be a super- awesome- fantastic photographer with my new, fancy camera, but it turns out I suck. Luckily the camera compensates somewhat, so I managed to get a...
Girls' Day Out
2011-12-04 09:59
Yesterday Vic and I took Sophie to her very first movie. I was nervous, because you really never know how Sophie will react to new experiences. It ranges from full on bloody murder screaming to hysterical giggles and squeals. Yesterday was somewhere in between. The loud...
Girls Gone Wild

I love a tacky Christmas. I especially love it when Christmas lights are synced to music, so I hooked our Christmas tree lights up to a machine that makes the lights dance to my Ipod. Apparently my girls do, too, because they had a blast dancing to the lights last night.
Thankful

Thanksgiving is the time in which we are supposed to reflect on what we're thankful for, but we're usually too busy cooking dinner, decorating for the next holiday, or yelling at the kids to do so. This year, however, we stayed at my in-laws, and my mother-in-law graciously cooked the...
Vic's Pics
2011-11-12 14:26
When downloading some pictures from my camera, I came across some apparent self portraits done by Victoria. I felt her work should be displayed, so enjoy the fruits of my 6yo's labor. Oh, and the last pic is one Victoria took for evidence of Sophie jumping on the bed. Such a little...
I Thought October Had 31 Days. What Do You Mean It Did?
2011-11-01 10:11
What the hell happened to October? I had all of these great things planned- Halloween menus, homemade spooky lollipops, carving pumpkins-and none of it happened. I managed to squeeze in 1 Halloween recipe and some half-assed decorations, but I still have things I bought on clearance...
Carowinds

I'm old, and I'm even older on Monday. In the annual tradition of pretending I don't have a birthday and going on a fun family adventure instead, we went to Carowinds today. In typical fashion, the kids were much better behaved on the trip than they are in real life, thankfully....
Dancing Queen

Last night Victoria had her first date...with her father, of course. They had a father/daughter dance at the school, so like the dutiful daddy he is, Wesley dressed to the nines and took out his princess. I did her hair and makeup, which I thought came out beautiful. Of course,...
Hooray for Fall!

Pumpkin pie, costumes, chili, and birthdays...It must be October. Finally, after a blazing hot, miserable summer, my favorite season is here. The holidays are right around the corner, and everything kicks off with the princess's birthday. She turned 6 this year, so this was her...
No Applause Necessary

This weekend we went to to Jellystone Park, which is a resort campground in NC. Since I'm not an outdoorsy girl (shocker, I know), we roughed it in a 1 bedroom 1 bath cabin with a 13 in. tv. Luckily there was so much to do, the tv was mainly used only to watch our respective...
