I Can’t Believe…
Posted on April 29, 2011 by Nancy
…Mike is at the Red Sox game tonight. Yes. You read that right. The Indians fan is at the Sox game. (One of *two* games he’ll head to this year without me!!)
I mean, I can be happy for him (he’s got terrific seats), but sheesh – seems kinda wrong that the Sox fan is at home while the Indians fan is at Fenway. 😉

Slightly Off
Posted on April 26, 2011 by Nancy
I hate feeling slightly "off"…but that’s how I’m feeling…today? Lately? Not sure how long.
I’d blame the monster headache I have right now – but again, not sure if that covers it.
I just wish the warm weather would hurry up and get here!!

Makes My Monday: Easter Traditions
Posted on April 25, 2011 by Nancy
After "the Hunt"
Dressing up for Church
(yes, Burke is a little sulky in this…he was mad that Maggie wouldn’t let him put his arm around her…apparently he thought that would make for a great photo. 😉 )
We have a family photo too – but those are all on my camera still (these are from my phone). I’ll put a picture up once they’re off my camera!

Burke is reading the Easter Bunny’s letter to Grey and Maggie (pictured), and Logan and Petra (not pictured).

Giveaway: Box Tops for Education Prize Pack
Posted on April 22, 2011 by Nancy
I have a stack of box tops waiting to head to Burke and Maggie’s school – the Parent Advisory Committee (of which I’m treasurer) collects them. I think this year alone, we’ve earned over $500 through box tops! (Hm. I should probably know the exact number as treasurer, but I don’t have that in front of me right now…) Anyway – it’s FREE money for the school if you get the parents involved. Who doesn’t want free money??
I can’t even believe all the stuff Box Tops for Education through MyBlogSpark sent to me! And all of it – of course – has box tops that I can use for Burke and Maggie’s school! Everything fit in this super-huge Ziploc bag (seriously, you could fit a comforter in this thing). In no particular order: Hi-Lighters, ZooPals funtensils, Avery NoteTabs, Avery PocketTabs, Avery Name Tags, a USB thumb drive, a tumbler (that is perfect for my iced tea!), Hefty paper (well, not-really-paper) plates, Hefty plastic cups, Ziploc freezer bags, Ziploc Twist ‘n Loc containers, a Golden Grahams bar, a Box Tops car decal, a Box Tops magnet, a packet (not pictured because I forgot) of Land O Lakes coupons, a box (not pictured because I put it away and forgot about it) of cereal, and two (not pictured because I already ate them) Chex Mix single-serve bags.
Guess what? I get to give one of these prize packs away!!!
Here’s the official blurb they provided:
Since 1996, schools have earned more than $375 million through Box Tops for Education, a program that allows you to give back to your local school. With Box Tops coupons available on over 250 products, it’s easy to start clipping and collecting to help local schools in need. Keep an eye out for Box Tops and start your own collection today. You can also earn eBox Tops by shopping online through the Box Tops Marketplace and be sure to check out the BTFE website to find out what your school’s goal is!

Well. It FINALLY Happened.
Posted on April 21, 2011 by Nancy
I forgot to post yesterday. The first time *EVER* that I’ve let an entire day go by since I started blogging.
Does this mean I’ll be more forgiving and let more days slip on by? Is it like when you get that first ding in your car over and done with so the rest don’t hurt as much?
I’m kind of bummed…but a bit relieved as well.
It’s not my intent to forget again…but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
