The LDS church celebrated 1oo year of Scouting two weekends ago. There was a huge celebration with lots of activities for the scouts. I went up to the fun celebration with Curtis and his friends. We had fun playing at the different stations that were set up. One of my favorites was Name That Sweet. The kids had to close… Read more →
Gianluca has been super grumpy the past week or so. He cries if I hold him, he cries if I don’t hold him. He begs for food and once I give it to him he throws it and cries some more. After about thirty minutes of screaming I can usually get him to sit still enough to calm down. Then… Read more →
Does Halloween seem like a monthly affair to everyone else? It is not just a one day Holiday here. By the end of the day on Oct. 31st I am more than happy to bid farewell to Halloween. Don’t get me wrong, I love Halloween. It just seems to last a long time. This year we went with a Despicable… Read more →
Our elementary school has a few family fun runs a year. We just had our pumpkin run right before Halloween. Every time you complete a mile you can collect a prize. The kids each did 3 miles and so we can home with a lot of toys.

I was able to see Alessia and Micah do their part but I missed Curtis completely. Luckily, the morning of the program Curtis said something about singing with his class and… Read more →

I wanted to do just cereal but decided we had time so I would make waffle. Big Mistake. I start the waffles by separating the eggs but then add the other wet ingredients to the whites instead of… Read more →
A few weeks ago the kids were off of school but John was out of town so I took them to a park that is close by that had been recently re-done. Micah has seen this new bridge that was constructed and has been dying to try it out. The bridge actually connects two parks to each other. We loaded… Read more →
A few weeks ago I had some how managed to get all fours kids dressed and ready for school early. Alessia went to play in the backyard and I sent Gianluca out with her. I stayed in the house and was folding the bottom-less pit of laundry. All of a sudden I hear Alessia screaming. She runs into the house… Read more →
Oh my little Curtis is growing up on me. A few weeks ago I was disciplining him for biting his sister. He told me biting just makes his teeth feel so good. He just can’t help himself. He also informed me that sending him to time out when he does something naughty isn’t hard for him because he now likes… Read more →
