Grapefruit! And a blood orange, who should have stuck to modeling.

Nothing more exciting than my menu planning madness to share with you today. Actually, it's very exciting to me because I planned a ton of meals for the month today and did so without crying! In all honesty, it has been so overwhelming for me to get my head into the zone of cooking lately, and today it just clicked. Rather than trying to do it on the computer I ripped open a pizza box and let my thoughts flow. There is a method to the madness before you!

McDonalds has free coffee for the next two weeks - yahoo!! We met my dad at the one near our house this morning, and the boys had a great time at the playground.

Markus and Wyatt were quite inspired by watching the Olympics over the past few weeks. Most trips down a slide are declared as sledding - feet first is luge (complete with the rocking back and forth at the top to get momentum for a better run) and head first, well, skeleton of course!

What more is there to say? Sweet victory!!

My little Puzzle Masters were hard at work this evening, and I forgot to have them clean up after themselves before we tucked them into bed. It's a many-times-a-day feeling to get frustrated with the mess I am constantly walking around/walking over/stubbing my toes on, but from what those older and wiser have told me, I am sure there will come a day when the house will feel too clean. I know there will come a day when I'll wish the floor showed some signs of life. So in the meantime I will try to look at the mess with a heart of joy and I praise God for the children who left the house looking like a tornado tore through it.

This little gal is always full of smiles, and I'm always happy to capture them.

Her little pal Beckett came for a visit today but they're getting to be so wiggly that it's tough to get a good shot of them together. They had a great time visiting - sure I wish I knew what they were saying to each other!

My dear oldest boy Markus, sporting a sweet hairdo thanks to his toque, in a rare moment of camera compliance. Even when his hair gets this wild, it's flat an hour later :)

I cannot believe he is going to be FOUR in less than a month! Where has the time gone?!

Ultimate nachos, ready for the oven. Supper was de-lish tonight!

"Bailey's a piggy!" exclaims Wyatt in his baby talk voice.

I can't believe how long her hair is getting!

I've spent this evening doing some major paper purging. I've got a huge stack of paper that needs to be shredded, and looking at it I thought, "Isn't bills, bills, bills the name of a Destiny's Child song?" Please understand, I'm no fan, but it's strange how silly things like this stick in your memory from a high school past one would sooner forget. "Can you pay my bills? Pay my telephone bills? Pay my automobills....I don't think you do! So...." Alright, that is definitely enough!
