Shock. Because Oh my Holy Stars, is that Kendrie? IN A DRESS????????????????? With leggings and neon colors and oh my word, is that a ponytail in her hair???? Are you kidding me???? Awwwwwwwwwww. Yep, that is Kendrie, indeed, in a dress. Specifically, for VBS 2011, “Kicking it Old School”, where each grade was assigned a decade [...]
The olden days: I would hurry, on the last afternoon at school, from class to class to class. When they were all in elementary school together, it was not really that hard to do. I traveled the most when they were in three different hallways, hoofing it from room to room to room, but could [...]
I spent last evening doing pretty much one of my favorite things in the world, taking photos. Early, I did my first-ever Senior Shoot, which was fun and enjoyable and not near as stressful as I worried it would be, mainly because his mom had told me he’d rather have his eyes gouged out with [...]
…. because I really can’t think of anything else to talk about. (this is what happens when your mom is in charge of ticket sales and she makes you go early and pose for pictures before any of your friends have shown up …..)
Oh, wait. Not puppies. Children.

That’s right, time for the annual Back to School tradition of Hallelujah Chorus on this site. It’s all about the shoes. And the new clothes, and school supply lists, and backpacks. And the fact mom got to run errands today for the first time in nine endless weeks without her three little helpers, something worthy [...]
So, my kids watched “Max Keeble’s Big Move” for like, the eight BILLIONTH time this afternoon on Disney channel. They figured out how to work the DVR and now I’m basically screwed. For those of you unfamiliar with the story, it’s about a young boy who has to stand up to bullies, both of the [...]
You *think* it’s time for summer to be over when you tell your children that you are going out to lunch with friends (your friends, not theirs) and they whine about how boring it will be. You *think* it’s time for summer to be over when you haven’t been seated two minutes before they are [...]
