Not Me Monday - 5th Edition

I did not wear 11 different articles of clothing in order to stay warm on our trip.
I did not wear the same shirts for 4 days straight.
I did not forget about our dog the entire time we were gone until the drive home and I saw a dog in someone's yard.
Brian did not tip over the canoe when he was going out to fish before dinner.
I did not just blog about Brian tipping over the canoe despite him saying that we weren't going to speak of this...ever.
We did not break camp over an hour before the sun came up in order to get home to see the kids sooner.
No, that would be stupid and dangerous. We wouldn't go up the rapids in the dark.
Brian would never carry a canoe over rocky terrain in the dark.
I did not spell Stellan's name incorrectly and then proceed to take a bunch of pictures of my mistake.

Julia did not fall into the pond while we were gone.














I most certainly didn't laugh at her reaction at seeing this picture
of herself covered in green algae.

I didn't tear up this morning when I read the note Brian's mom wrote in the front of the movie she left for the kids.

I don't think the kids had any fun with their grandparents and aunt. We'll never leave the house again. The kids cannot survive without us!



Thanks Gene, Rena, and Sharon for taking such good care of our Sammy Sam and JoJo while we were gone!



I did not let Julia play with water in the bathroom sink while I put the finishing touches on my Not Me post this morning.
I did not hear the dreaded "uh-oh" and run in to find water running over the edge of the sink onto the floor. Nope. That would have been too predicable.


What didn't you do this week?

  1. OMG that is so funny!!! Loved your post!

    And might I add...I am SOOOOO glad you do NOT have the verification thing! I mean...not that I would avoid leaving comments on someone's blog because they DID have those horrid, irritating things....I mean, that would be shallow and lazy of me! LOL

  3. Loved your Not Me's ...especially the one about never speaking of the tipped over canoe again....can blogging technically be considered speaking though?? Love your header picture also!

  4. I did not feel somewhat satisfied that Brian tipped the canoe. After all, he did not get mad at me when I did the same thing at the same place last year! Nor did I laugh at JoJo when she looked at her algae covered hair and said "I durty."

  5. What a wonderful 4 days we all had. You and Brian had a chance to get some time alone and get some R&R (although portaging never did seem like a easy vacation to me) and Gene and I had a chance to be with the kids 24/7. I didn't think I could love anyone more than I do my hubby and children BUT there is always room in ones heart for the grand kids. Especially since they are the best, cutest, and most loveable kids in the world. Loved every minute of it!!!!!!

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
