Last week, we officially kicked off basketball. And somehow, mommy got nabbed to be the head coach….or as the boy says, “mom, you’ll be a great coach, tough but fair”. The first week of practice went fairly well. Six really good players and one that had never played, but is athletic. I can …

XMAS Rush
Whew, the last few weeks have been daunting. School, basketball practice, karate black belt test and, of course, the much anticipated arrival of Christmas. We’ve been nibbling at our Christmas list, slowly but surely. The boy’s big wish list this year, nerf and video games. Where did the days of Tonka Ttucks and Race …
Beach Day
To unwind from Turkey Day, we made a quick trip to the beach. Thankfully Santa was arriving into town that very day Ocean City at Christmas, extra special Nice way to kick off the holiday season
Thanksgiving
We celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday. There was much preparation, everyone lent a hand. Our favorite Great Grandmom had the gravy tasting like perfection. We sat down to a delicious meal And after a quick clean up, the games began. Who knew Great Grandmom is a ringer…and the boys, well the boys, will be boys with …
Santa
Will the real Santa please stand up, please stand up, please stand up. Last weekend, Z casually mentioned that certain Santas couldn’t be real. I mean “how could he possibly be in a thousand places at once”. So, we broke and told him that certain Santas are indeed not real but they do work …

Odds N Ends

Our favorite was the drunk sailor look, with her body hanging precariously off the sofa’s edge Mommy made a quick trip to Pittsburgh and ran the bridge into Pittsburgh. Many leaves have fallen and the girls like …
Halloween
It was a quick Halloween. Zachary went as a bad guy from Star Wars. Mommy took a picture of the wrong dark costumed kid at the school’s parade (mommy fail) and the boy walked around with a dinosaur. Our Halloween in a nut shell The better part was getting those look back photos on Facebook. …
Last Hooray
Last weekend, we were in Ocean City. The Boardwalk was a lot less crowded and the wind howled a little louder, but it was still very nice there. The boy helped daddy paint the upper deck And we took the pups out for an early morning walk on the beach. Trojan ran around like her …
Bella
Last week, we noticed that crazy Bella was a little off her game. After breakfast on Saturday morning, she went absolutely nutty, prancing around, drumming her two front paws like Joe Walsh, and in utter pain. By Tuesday it was obvious, Bella needed to see the vet. So off we all went Trojan for her …
