Paradise!

San Diego * 75 degrees * Happy Children * ALL the animals came out to say hi
(this truly would have been a perfect day if only Seth and Matthew came...)

Our Valentine turns 2!

Matthew celebrated his second birthday on Valentine's Day, once again, where does the time go? We took him to Toys R Us to pick out some toys from the grandparents! The boys were in heaven because we had to the store to ourselves. With a Magna-Doodle and more Geo Trax, we were set! A cow cake and motorcycle completed the perfect birthday! Matthew and Charlie have become great buddies, most of the time, and it's fun to watch them interact more that Matthew is older. Matthew's funny new activity is dancing when I sew on my sewing machine. I guess it kind of sounds like music. We love this boy and his zeal for life.

Pottery Barn, Smottery Barn....

If you had your choice between a bedding set from Walmart and one from Pottery Barn, which would you pick?


What if one bedding set costs $40 (includes the sham) and the other costs $130 (the sham is another $30).
Don't worry, that stripe in the second picture is NOT pink.

RedBox Reaches the Midwest!

Yipee! We were so sad when we moved to Michigan almost 3 1/2 years ago and found there where not a RedBox in sight in this state! People gave me a blank stare when I asked of a movie rental vending machine. Anyway, it's finally here (there have been a few rip-offs that I've seen at Kroger but $1.50 and bad selection is not RedBox). The Meijer on Carpenter has a RedBox in their little alcove (where the horses used to be). Enjoy your new-releases for only $1.00!
