Weekend Re-Cap

One of the kids threw a pull-up in the dirty clothes, 
and I didn't realize it until after I had washed it. 
(Hey, at least it was a clean one.)  
That was a lot of fun to try 
and clean out of the washer. 
(And then have to re-wash a bunch of clothes.) 
 

Keith bought me flowers. ♥ 
And then the kids decorated my credenza 
with "Easter animals". 
Please do not argue with Keira
 about the "Easter penguins". 
You won't win.


My town had an Easter egg hunt on Saturday. 
The kids had a great time. 
After finding their eggs and getting their goody bags, 
we headed over to the village hall where 
they got "hopped" up on sugar with cookies and munchkins.  
Good times. Not.  



Then we met the Easter Bunny. 
Well, everyone but Keira who is scared of him. 
 A female police officer even offered to go up 
with Keira to meet the bunny, but she declined. 
Loudly.

I did a little shopping at Kohls and picked me up some 
of those stackable bracelets.
I also got this watch and bracelet set.
I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that 
the colors do not coordinate, 
but for $4.60 I will deal with it.

I don't have any phone pics, but on Sunday, 
we went to celebrate my cousin's twins' first birthday. 
My kids had an absolute blast coloring pictures for the twins.
I also got to rock a 4 month old baby for awhile.
Ah... teeny tiny babies are so much fun.
Although I'm glad I got to hand him back to his dad. :)



Colin and Connor had the "best night ever" staying up late and reading books 
until they ratted themselves out and came downstairs to tell me it was the best night ever. 
Connor went to bed after that.
20 minutes later I found Colin 
hiding in the office and pretending to drink my wine.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite their renewed feel

Enjoy the little things...

The music filled my head as I drove my car along the winding river road on that dark and snowy night.  I had just left my grandpa's wake and was headed home... alone.....  My husband had the stomach flu, we had moved into our new house the day before my grandpa passed, and I was 5 1/2 months pregnant.  The baby boy inside me kicked along with the song, as I cried and listened to the words. Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above. I've always found comfort in songs... the words of the artists resonating with me through even my darkest times. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man is one of those songs that just happens to play on the radio at the precise moment that I need a remind

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?
