I haven't posted anything we've done since Christmas – so scroll down periodically – I am trying to catch up but am posting with old dates to keep things in order  in case I ever print this out.  

On good days when Zach's at school and Carter takes a nap and she gets to choose what just the two of us do together… it's almost always a game.  This was the fourth this afternoon.  I love my game girl!  

Same place it always is… clean but not folded on top of our work table in the laundry room.  I have to give Nate a heads-up when it's actually put away so he can look for clothes in his drawers instead.  

We are all about the military at our house.  This night, Zach got Emma all geared up to go out in the freezing cold and watch for the "bad guys".  They were serious about it – and the only way I could get them in for bedtime was trying to convince them that in the…
