Trick-or-Treat!

Posted by Trisha on Nov 2, 2008 in Family, Halloween, Holidays, the kids

Thought I’d post out Halloween trick-or-treating pics for everyone. We went with some friends from church (who also have 3 boys) and had a blast! First things first: Here’s a pumpkin patch the boys made, which I thought was very cute. Here’s our jack-o-lantern. He’s patterned after Jack the pumpkin king from The Nightmare Before [...]

Halloween marks the start of our busy season around here. After Halloween, we prepare for Thanksgiving and Brian’s birthday. Fortunately, this year they aren’t the same day! 15 days later is Alex’s birthday.

With Mother’s Day just over 2 weeks away, I have (finally) started thinking about what to get my mom. I’m probably a bit late in my planning, but I just have to get through the twins’ birthday before I can think about Mother’s Day. I decided I’d start with a search for the “hot” gifts [...]

I have a great mother-in-law

Posted by Trisha on Dec 5, 2007 in Christmas, Family, Holidays, The Inlaws, blogging, fun

To be fair, I have two pretty good mother-in-laws and I have something in common with both of them. Brian’s mom is a special education teacher, so am I. Brian’s step-mom likes to cook/bake and so do I. She’s also an avid reader, as is his dad. A couple of years ago, when they were [...]
