Memorial Day
Posted on May 26, 2009 by Nancy
Our town holds a Memorial Day parade. And – holy convenience – it marches right past our street! All we have to do is walk 3 houses down and we’re in the right spot.
Waiting for the Parade to Start
"I think I see something!"
"Are you sure, Burke?"
The High School Marching Band
(For you, Sue *grin* )
"Cool! We got a flag!"
"Parades are neat"
When the parade was over, we walked ALLLLL the way back home (tee hee) and hung out in the back yard.
Fun in the Sandbox

Book Review – Chicken Soup for the Soul: Twins and More
Posted on May 25, 2009 by Nancy
I just finished reading Chicken Soup for the Soul: Twins and More By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Susan Heim.
How can you not like a book when it starts out with a quote from Aerosmith? *grin*
Seriously, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Twins and More is a wonderful book. I could relate to so many of the stories. (Ya…I was totally right there with the woman who had a nervous breakdown that she wouldn’t be able to tell her twins apart once she removed the hospital IDs … until her husband gently reminder her that all she had to do was remove their diapers. Yep – boy/girl twins LOL!) I laughed out loud at some of the stories; shed a tear for a few others. But mostly, I found myself nodding in agreement with what I was reading, thinking “oh ya – I remember that” or “oh man – I can totally see that happening soon!” I have to admit that I did skip over some of the stories – I simply couldn’t relate at all – but with so many different ones, that’s bound to happen.
This book is perfect for busy moms. The stories are short and sweet and I could usually get through at least one before being interrupted. If you are a Taxi-mom like me, Twins and More is great for waiting in the car for the kids’ activities to finish up; read a story or two and you’re set!

Blog Farts
Posted on May 23, 2009 by Nancy
Blog Farts – noun. Def: Crappy ideas that are too short to make a real blog post, but when combined, join forces to make one unified, albeit half a$$ed, post. see also: memes, surveys.
I’m just “borrowing” the term 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Why is it that my very red strands of hair fall out or get stuck in my brush with no problem, but my gray strands hold on to my head for dear life??
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Migraine medicine makes me feel like I have to pee.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wanting to wear multiple pull-ups the other night, Burke told us he has 3 bums.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Am I the only one who can’t open the box of Mac & Cheese with the “Push Here” tab???
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Maggie is such a GIRL!! She changed her dress-up dress because she couldn’t find the right dress-up shoes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Is it bad that my kids think playing “Swiper” is fun? Do they not know that Swiper is the BAD guy in Dora?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The sweetest 5 words I’ve ever heard from another adult: “Your kids are so polite!”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Maggie fell off the swing the other day. When I asked her why she was crying, she said: “Now my pretty face is broken! My smile is gone.”
