Play dates, alarm clocks , and ER visits

After a fun filled morning with friends Moe is fast asleep! I heard his alarm clock going off in his room and rushed in there to turn it off. It didn't even wake him. I have no idea why it keeps going off at seemingly random times....I am not good with technology!



I can't believe our baby is in a big boy toddler bed!



Oh, and we are one step closer to an ER visit. We got a good quote on getting a maple tree removed from our backyard...So, here we come SWING SET! :) Kevin keeps saying "Are you sure Moe is old enough?" Our little daredevil is fearless...

ADDITION: I came across this in my friend's blog...It is a good site, and it put into words how I feel about a lot of the parties my kiddos have been invited to attend . Check it out here

Having an older sister....

...means sometimes you get to play with her dress up clothes! :) This picture always makes me smile. And someday Kevin and I will get to blackmail him with it!
Have a good Tuesday!

Isn't it lovely?

I opened my mailbox today and these lovelies were waiting for me! Please visit
here for more beauties!
On other fronts, we are all well again and back among the living.
Last night when I tucked Mimi in bed she asked me how I could get our family on "the list" to get some sheep! Apparently she did listen when we talked about Heifer and decided that we need some sheep! HA :)

Pay it forward....

In May most of us will be getting a check from the government to encourage spending and thus stimulate the economy. I won't go over where the money is coming from or if I agree with our government taking out a loan to do this. Instead I would like to talk about what we can do with this money. I have seen polls that show most Americans are planning to pay down bills with it and save it. I doubt this is what most Americans will do since Americans aren't typically known to be savers. So what I propose is that we all "pay it forward" in some way. I really like Heifer International, which is a non profit organization whose "goal is to end world hunger and poverty through self reliance...."

On the mend....

Moe is ready (or at least he thinks he is) to go play outside. He has on his sister's scarf and hat. Think he's trying to tell me something??

I think there is light at the end of this tunnel of sickness.

I am sooo ready for warmer weather, zoo trips, days at the park, and playing in the backyard. I miss the sun!

Hanging on by a thread...

Just because you're sick....
doesn't mean you can't be cool!

Look at a the mohawk on moe! Yes, we are still "junking it up with tv." To be more accurate, we are watching lots of commercial free, mom/dad approved dvds. Lots of Sesame Street and Hooked on Phonics movies. Oh, and season one of Inspector Gadget!
Well, today is an important day for Senators Clinton and Obama. I wore my Clinton shirt with pride today! Fingers crossed!!
Have a great day!

Sickness

It is official. My healthy child who never gets anything is now sick too. Both Mimi and Moe are on the couch "junking it up with tv" because anything else is just too much work.
Yesterday, before Mimi got sick, I took her on a couple errands. As we passed a grocery store parking lot she says "Mommy, that's not a very good snowman." I looked over only to see a mound of snow that was obviously not a snowman. I looked back at her in the rear view mirror and she was laughing. She is already sarcastic at age 3!
Hope everyone stays healthy and has a great Monday!
