5 Years

This past Friday, Brandon and I celebrated five years of marriage. To commemorate this momentous occasion, we enjoyed a romantic dinner... at Outback Steakhouse... with our children. That's how we roll these days.

Death by Pollen

Stay away from pollen. It's bad stuff. Before you know it, you could overdose and end up like this...



After being cooped up all winter, we soon found ourselves cooped up once again due to the inch of pollen covering every bit of every playground, yard, deck, etc. I never had problems with allergies until I moved to Alabama, but this month we sure have been through our fair share of tissues. It's just gross. But thankfully, it rained since that bee met its demise, so we're back outside...



I may have said this before but this little boy is SUCH A BOY! He cracks me up. If there is mud or dirt around, he's into it. Today he was loading big rocks into the bucket of his tractor and moving pipes around under the deck. Maybe I ought to have Brandon make sure there's no dangerous stuff down there?



On the other hand, Madeline has taken to several outfit changes a day, and she wears at least 3 different pairs of shoes every day. Last night, Brandon went in to tuck her in before we went to bed and she was wearing a pair of sandals underneath her sheets. It's always a surprise what we're going to find when we go to tuck her in. The other night I removed the following items from her bed (she was sound asleep): a babydoll stroller, a babydoll highchair, 4 babydolls, one stuffed monkey, one stuffed dog, two pairs of pants, one pair of shorts and one pair of dress shoes. It's a good thing she's a skinny mini or I'm not sure how she would fit in that bed!
