Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Looking at my photos you'd think I do nothing other than drive to and fro from one soccer practice/game to another.  Well friends, you would be correct and Mother's Day was no exception.  In fact, the middle child promised me a championship medal for mom's day and boy did he and the team deliver.  Proud mama here for sure.  

The best brotherly cheer squad on earth.

Hope your Mother's Day was all blue skies and sunshine, as well!

P.S.- here's a fun, new-to-me discovery for printing those ever-multiplying Instagram pics.  I came across this easy to use app, Printicular, this weekend.  It's billed as "the most convenient way to print your Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox and Camera Roll at Walgreens."  I picked up my first order today and love the fun 4 x 4 format.  I feel a new addiction developing...so be forewarned. 

Game On.

It's soccer Saturday.  Heck, around here, it's soccer everyday.  We are finally coming out of the winter doldrums and the forecast calls for 73 beautiful degrees.  Hello sunscreen!

And in case you were wondering about the photo above, yes, it was a goal.

Happy almost Spring, friends.

Happy New Year!

Hellooooo!  And Happy New Year!  Long time no talk.  I'm not back to blogging, alas, no time as the threesome below has been keeping me busy nonstop, but if for no one other than myself, I try to document a snapshot of my offspring at least once a year.  If you have children then you know how difficult it is to get even one good image of a smiling, cooperative child.  However, if you have upwards of one child, well, it's almost impossible to get said shot.  See proof below.

Nonetheless, looking at my boys goofing around, I'm reminded as always to count my blessings and, truth be told, I think I like the blurry, fuzzy, slightly out of focus shots the best.  After all, life doesn't stand still and clearly, neither do my threesome.

And yes, in case you were wondering, this one is almost always the culprit.

Happy New Year, friends.  I hope 2013 brings you all joy, peace, and blessings too numerous to count.

Grateful

This threesome has been particularly troublesome lately. Mind you, not all three at once. It's usually two out of the three that are on a wild streak. Just enough to push me to the edge, but not quite over. Sneaky, aren't they. So I thought it was a good time to stop and smell the roses. Cause even when they're bad, they're so, so good. And the roses, well, they're pretty damn cute, huh?

Boo Crew, 2011

Ghosts and goblins, soldiers, crazy pizza delivery men, and zombie soccer players...phew, I'm pooped! I think I need a couple of days to recover my mojo. I believe I lost it in the candy cauldron and I fully blame the Hershey's miniatures. They are sneaky in their promise of bite size perfection.

Be back soon.

Desk Job

It's that time of year again, back-to-school. My threesome officially started back yesterday and let me tell you, it might have been the longest day of my life. From left to right: 4th grade, Kindergarten, and 6th(!) grade. All of that equated to a mama who is kid-free most of the day. Heart. Broken. And to think, I have to do it all over again for the next 180 days. Sigh.

In the meantime, lets take a look at some great "work" spaces. 'Cause if you gotta do homework, you might as well have a pretty perch to work from!

Guess Who's SIX!

Impossible, but true. Right from the get-go he surprised us with his blond hair and hasn't stopped wowing us since. His boundless energy, effervescent personality, inimitable smile, athletic prowess, superstar dance moves never cease to amaze me. We love you little big boy and are truly blessed to watch you grow and blossom into the most astonishing human being. Happy Birthday, J!
