Just a Bunch of Words…
| April 14, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Random Crap |
Amidst the Washi Tape craze that is going on here, other stuff is happening also. It’s good to be back in St. Louis. If you follow hockey, you then know that the Blues are in the Stanley Cup playoffs. If you follow baseball, then you know that today was the Cardinals home opener. It rained all day and the Cards lost to the stupid Cubs. I blame Friday the 13th. I went over to my parents house on Thursday evening after dinner to borrow a sander from my dad. It was awesome. I packed up the kids, I drove 2… Continue reading…
You Can Just Call Me Bobby…
| March 12, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Family |
OK so Ryan is talking up a storm which is great and all. The thing is…he seems to like to replace the “M” sound with a “B” sound… Milk = Bilk (not to be confused in the car for BOOK which he will then shoot you the look from hell and throw the book across the seat until you realize he meant MILK…true story) Cows say “Boo!” instead of MOO Momma = Bobba Which leads us to Mommy = Bobby. I now answer to Bobby. Michael has stared calling me Bobba and so has Freddy…it’s. just. wonderful. Let me tell… Continue reading…
Children’s Sensory Fun–Soft Pom-Poms
| March 8, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Activities, Family |
I mentioned before how much we loved our Water Table! Water is a great sensory tool for kids, especially in the summer! When it got cooler out, I brought our water table inside (empty of course) and then filled it with CRUNCHY hard, dry pasta noodles and let the boys have at it. They scooped and poured and crunched and loved it! To mix things up this time we used colored pom-pom cotton balls! A SOFT sensory object. I bought about 8 bags at the dollar store of these colored fuzzy guys. I dumped them in a small bin and… Continue reading…
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Activity
| March 4, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Activities |
It’s no secret my 5 year old loves letters. It’s also no surprise that he LOVES the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. I mean, a book…about LETTERS! OMG! He can recite it…without the book. He also loves to act out the book with his magnetic letters. I made him this printable that I just attach to a cheap cookie sheet an then he can use his magnetic letters on the board. He loves it. It works great in the car also because the letters stay stuck to the cookie sheet and he knows the book by heart! Here is what… Continue reading…
Lost or Missing Parts
| March 2, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Organization |
In my packing fun we have going on here I find myself running across moving furniture, cleaning out behind shelves, beds and dressers, and sorting drawers to discover pieces to games and toys that I have already packed. As much as I’d like to think I stay on top of keeping my kids toys and games in order, it never fails parts get left out. I wanted to create a fun way to collect all these missing toys so that when we unpack they can all find their home again. This was so easy. It was one of the first… Continue reading…
Arizona Hates Me
| February 29, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Family |
It’s official…I have declared that the state of Arizona tried to kill me. Arizona hates me. After you read this and I tell you how much I LOVE MY IN-LAWS…some of you with in-laws from hell may hate me also. Trip down went alright. Flight was delayed an hour before we left but I just took the boys down to an almost empty concourse and they had a whole side emptied out of all the seats as they were upgrading the gate areas and I let them run around and play. And sprawl all out on the floor (new carpet)… Continue reading…

Today we are boarding a plane (with 2 small children) to fly to Arizona (with 2 small children) to see my parents-in-love, sister/brother-in love and their kids and their kids (with 2 small children). One of our nieces & nephews just had a BABY GIRL earlier this month and I am dying to get my hands on her (with 2 small children in tow). I ask a favor of you all. Please say a prayer that our travels go smoothly (with 2 small children)!!! I would super, duper appreciate it. I have travelled with one. I have travelled with one… Continue reading…

Yearly Memory Calendar
| January 17, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Activities, Crafts, DIY, Family, Organization |
I do realize that I may be posting this project a wee bit late but since it is revolving, it really doesn’t matter when you start it! With the colds we caught from the Holidays and then the recent passing of one of our family dogs, I am just moving a bit slow! I’d love to say that I am that mom that has her children’s baby books up to date, all shots recorded, when each of their teeth popped through, the funny things they say all documented in a cute baby book that holds their first cut lock of… Continue reading…
Best. Christmas. Ever.
| December 25, 2011 | Posted by Cheryl under Christmas, Family |
This was the Best. Christmas. Ever. Michael and Ryan were AWESOME! Ryan was such a trooper with all the different people and places and missing naps and late, late bedtimes! Every gift Michael opened, he exclaimed “Oh I this is so great and I LOVE YOU (insert gift giver’s name) !” It was FANTASTIC! He also got to go shopping at school for gifts for Freddy, Ryan and I. That was back on November 28th…so needless to say Ryan opened his gift the next day because Michael COULD NOT WAIT to give his brother his gift! It was a slinky… Continue reading…
