Joshua's Memory Quilt

Ok, it's been a year since he was born and I've probably had his quilt for at least 6 months. Here it is for all of you who helped to create it. Thank you Laura for all your hard work!

Completely Addicted

I admit it.

I wanna buy it, Mom.

Zack was supposed to be in bed, but came waltzing downstairs about 8pm. A commercial came on for this pasta cooker. Zack says, "Mom, I wanna buy it. It would be SO fun!"

If He HAD to buy a Harley

It would be this one.

Labor Day Weekend

We spent the weekend at Campland by the Bay in Mission Bay. What a wonderful weekend of swimming, boating, camping, smores (made with Ritz crackers rather than graham crackers) and many long talks about life. Thank you Jen for a wonderful weekend! What a nice way to round out the summer.

First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Gabby's first day of Kindergarten. I would post pictures, but my computer's harddrive failed and I'm blogging from Dave's computer. Her first day photos are in my iPhone so as soon as I can sync up with my machine, I'll post her first day photos.
I really thought we'd have a little bit of tears or at least a little clingyness...but no, it was "Bye Mom! See you after school!"
My girl is growing up!

In the Buff

Why is it that my son will make it to bathroom every time when he's naked, but try to put clothes on him and we soak the world? It makes this potty training thing awful difficult. I can't go anywhere! And today, the ADT man came to check our house alarm and of course, my son makes it to the door before I do and he opens the door, butt naked! I feel like a total white trash mom as I apologize to the technician and try to explain that we are potty training. The technician couldn't have been a year over 24 and he just looked at me with this blank stare. All this while Zack is running around in his birthday suit, Josh is screaming in the highchair because there are no more cherrios on his tray and Gabby has the TV blaring Sponge Bob.

This IS the life of a Mom of 3 under 5.
