Not only does he do dishes---but he does math homework and always puts gas in my car, too. Now if only I could get him to do 4th grade book reports......

These flowers, serendipitously delivered by a favorite friend of mine, sure brightened my day.

This is absolutely positively BRAGGING. A perfect math test from our 7th grade smarty pants.

Amazing! The light-up souvenir bubble gun from Sea World (last summer) is still working! Maybe it wasn't so over-priced after all.....

Look at this fun Valentine idea I stole....I bought each of the kids and Rich a weekly medicine organizer and filled each day's compartment with a different type of  candy and a handwritten note telling them things I love about them. They started by opening the Monday compartment today and hopefully if we don't have any cheaters they'll be treated to some candy and a note every day for the next 6 days. Happy Valentine's Week!

I was so very tired tonight that I almost forgot to do my picture. So sorry, the subject is really lame.
But I do love my computer!

I have the best 100% whole wheat bread recipe in the world! I've tried many, many recipes but this is my favorite. It is soft and chewy and delish and very easy to make. It's been about 2 years now since we've stopped buying store bread (braggedy brag brag brag!). And the best part? The children hardly ever complain about eating "wheat" bread (not that they don't devour white bread when they get a chance!).

Dear B, C, and G: I just want you to know that even though I photograph S way more than any of you, I love you all the same. Mostly.
