February 6, 2011, at 11:19 pm | Well, the mood in our household is a bit dejected due to the Steelers’ heartbreaking loss tonight to the Green Bay Packers, but we won’t let that dampen our joy at the wonderful weekend we were able to spend with our friends (and we still gladly call them friends, despite the fact that they attempted to brainwash our children into shouting “Go Pack Go!” and “Big Ben Stinks” during the Super Bowl).
We filled the weekend with lots of hard work:
But we made sure to reward our hard-working friends with leisure time:
And cuddle time:
And plenty of food:
See my attempt at football brownies?
So even if Jim’s diehard black-and-yellow blood prevents him from fully agreeing with me, I’d say this was a winner of a weekend!
February 4, 2011, at 11:23 pm | I’ve heard of a diet where you eat only what you can pick up with chopsticks. But this one is new to me:
Maybe Susie is trying to invent the multi-utensil diet, where you eat only what can be picked up simultaneously by four spoons and a fork?
February 3, 2011, at 9:45 pm | Nothing beats a spontaneous “Ring around the Rosie” session!
P.S. Can you tell Susie is fond of winter clothing? The child is never happier than when wearing a hat, coat and boots!
February 2, 2011, at 10:49 pm | Sometimes the best place to be…
…is in the lap of your best friend.
February 1, 2011, at 9:33 pm | Tonight the girls spent a long time entertaining themselves by leaping from an ottoman to a nearby couch. I probably shouldn’t let them jump on the furniture because of the risk of injury to themselves and the furniture, but I just can’t bring myself to stop them. Here’s my list of justifications for letting their wild and crazy behavior continue uninhibited:
1) They’re wearing themselves out, presumably leading to better sleep
2) They’re practicing taking turns
3) They’re developing coordination and balance
4) They’re exercising their muscles
5) It makes them happy.
6) Judging by their hair, they’re generating enough static electricity to power a house, which may come in handy if the impending ice storm knocks out our power
So jump away, kiddos!

ABOUT US I'm blessed to be saved by the grace of God, loved by my wonderful husband Jim, and embraced by my twin girls, Rebecca Faith and Susanna Joy and my sons Jimmy and Danny. I started this blog in May 2008 when I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 24 weeks gestation. The Lord allowed me to keep the girls inside until they were 34 weeks along, and on July 27th, Rebecca made her debut, followed by Susanna, five minutes later, on July 28th. We ecstatically welcomed Jimmy into our lives on April 25th, 2011, and Danny on August 31, 2012. This blog has been a personal journal of faith and motherhood and the only way I can remember which child did what and when. Thanks for stopping by to share in my Faith and Joy!
