keeping it real


What Brady does when he discovers his siblings left unauthorized writing utensils out in the bedroom where he naps.


Samantha getting ready for Hurricane Sandy. I made her go back in and put on more clothing.


Hubs and the ladies preparing to go for a walk in the storm. It was strangely warm and the rain was blowing sideways. As you can see, Samantha is not thrilled she had to change out of her swim suit.


Cookie found something to get upset about and would NOT go on the walk in the storm. Everyone loses when Cookie gets upset. I tried so hard to help him work through quickly so he could join them on their adventure, which he really wanted to do. But it didn't work.




*I calmed my sweet boy down after an hour with, of course, a cookie and a story. I don't know who weathered the worse storm, me inside or the crew outside in Sandy...

Love the swimsuit and snow boot combo. The lady has style! Add an umbrella and - she's runway ready

Oh that wall made me laugh. I had a child who shall remain nameless always picking his nose and wiping them on his wall. We had a nasty surprise when we moved the beds around that year. Kids r gross!

Honestly, I'm not sure what your problem is with the boots and swimsuit... ;)

But really, don't the boots make up for the lack of coverage of the swim suit? Buzz kill.

You always have the greatest adventures with your kids, that about sums it up. Totally think it's funny that she wanted to wear her swimsuit. Glad he was able to calm down (our little guy could probably give him a run for his money. . . as demonstrated by his non-performance in the Church program and then getting mad that he didn't participate. . . yeah, it took me an hour and a half before he was back to himself)and that you weathered Hurricane Sandy alright. So glad that you're all safe and well.
