My girls are too good to me!

Background info: Every Monday, I have my kids do their "Weekend Writing". The only rule is that they have to write at least as many sentences as they are years old. I love reading these, because it is so much fun to get all the scoop on what is going on their lives. However, sometimes I get papers like this. :(

Prepping for my next crafty project!

Quality time with Mere

Thank goodness for empty seats by the fire pit!

Finally clean. Now I can breathe again.

Getting the word out!

I feel like I'm kind of "cheating" by using this for my photo of the day, but I wanted to spread the word about Ellen's entry in the KC Star - Best Dressed Halloween Costume contest!

Check out my blog for more info!

I've been spending lots of time with Ellen this weekend while Molly & Erik are on vacation in Hawaii. (Yes, we're all jealous!). Hoping the plethora of Ellen pictures & videos can keep them updated from afar since this is the first time they've been away from her!
