It's not so much Amish, as shaggy and unkempt.

But, I still think he's a hunk.

A Little Bit of Our Last Sunday

Someday I Will Have Time To Write...

But for now...

Come in, but don't expect to find 


All dishes done, all floors ashine. 


Observe the crumgs and toys galore. 


The smudgy prints upon the door. 


The little ones we shelter here 


Don't thrive on a spotless atmosphere. 


They're more inclined to disarray


And carefree even messy play. 


Their needs are great, their patience small. 


All day I'm at their beck and call. 


It's Mommy come! Mommy see! 


Wiggly worms and red scraped knee. 


Painted pictures, blocks piled high. 


My floors unshined, the days go by. 


Some future day they'll flee this nest, 


And I at last will have a rest! 


Now you tell me which matters more, 


A happy child or a polished floor?

Really?

I guess I see it a little... in the belly!

You didn't know she could get cuter, did ya?

Are Your Taxes Done?

Smoochy and Normy worked hard on finishing them up yesterday. At last they are done...

We can always count on Normy's sound advice come tax season. He's quite the guru.

We're all looking forward to next year when we'll have two babies to claim for our deductions!

It's SNOWING!

For all of my friends and family back in Florida... It is snowing in the midwest right now. And not wonderful it's-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-Christmas snow, but awful wet it's-April-for-Pete's-sake snow. I am desperate for spring. I want to take walks, go to the park, and push Normy on a swing. *Sigh* Not this week it seems. But, soon enough I suppose. I'd love to shed our winter layer. A conversation with a good friend yesterday has me coveting one of these... Oh well. For now I'll have to content myself with toddler wrestling and stair climbing (hauling the laundry from the upstairs to the basement and back!) to loose the baby weight. That might actually be effective if I could give up ice cream after dinner and ready whip on my coffee in the mornings. Yea right! ;-)
