Ode to Coffee

Coffee is sweet.
Black, frothy and bold.
It makes a great treat.
Until it gets cold.

morning java ryhme

Fillin up
my coffee cup,
with sweet sweet java juice.

Sip it down,
dance around.
Monday's sworn a truce.

Limerick about Everett

Everett is a boy with blue eyes,
determined, he tirelessly tries
to make a big mess,
not give mom a rest,
and eat nothing but nuggets and fries.

Coffee Limerick

I just had to repost this. I liked it. :)


A lady once owned an espresso machine,
It wasn't as sleek as it's exterior seemed,
It would sputter and spit,
Throw loud hissing fits,
Brewing sweet nectar from beans.

Kids Christmas List

Sorry it took me so long to make the list this year, but here it is:

Beccah

Roller blades
BMX helmet
Nintendo DSI and games (horses, cooking, math, etc)

Aidan

Star Wars Clone Trooper Transport (yes, the $100 one)
Anything Star Wars
Playmobile Toys or small soldiers/figures

Everett

Trains! Anything train related
Puzzles
Toy Story toys. He's into Buzz Lightyear and Woody.

Rohnan

Trains, cars, planes, and Fire trucks/Police cars
Dinosaurs

General

The boys could use bedding (twin sheets, comforters, pillow cases)
We could use a new wii remote or two and a nunchuck
Also looking for ideas on storage and kid friendly furniture so they can keep toys picked up and play easier, let me know if you see something that looks sturdy at a good price. :)
We are going to get Beccah money for clothes and take her shopping at after Christmas sales.

Hope this helps!

Softball Practice

I actually remembered to bring the camera yesterday at softball practice! Beccah is having alot of fun, and she can't wait for her first game! Hopefully it will be this Saturday, unless the rain cancels it again.

Boys with Light Sabers

The sun was out for a bit today. So Aidan and Everett were having a Jedi adventure in the tall, tall grass. They were very cute for all of 10 minutes. Then they decided tv would be more fun and have been following me around begging and pleading and yelling at me to turn it on. How can Dora and Diego be more fun than pushing your brother off the bench with your light saber??
Rohnan very smartly keeps his distance and plays ball with Sasha.
