Belated Birthday

This beauty turned 8 on HALLOWEEN 

EIGHT!  

Unbelievable.

I love her more than ever.  Really, I do.  I think she is totally awesome.  

I'm trying to lure her into being my best friend by teaching her sexy cheers for her spelling words.  

I think it's working.

You should come over at 5 PM on school nights.  It is hilarious.

I could go on and on about how much she means to me.  

She knows (which I consider a great parenting accomplishment... I didn't grow up knowing that in the unquestioning deep way that she does).

Last night I said...

"Do you think anyone loves their kids as much as I do?"  

"Nope." She answered confidently.  

"Why don't they?"  She inquired.  

"Because the level of love I feel for you would kill most people."  I replied.   

Thank You

Just want to quickly say that we have really appreciated all the comments in the last couple of days.  I'm sorry that I can't return them all personally, but want you to know that (as usual) this community of readers has been a great support to us.  Thanks so much for listening and actually caring about our life. It really does mean a lot and has gotten us (both of us) through some times that would have been really difficult if we felt alone in them (I don't know who checks my comments more... me or Mr F).  It is still amazing to us that there are people out there... people who know more and care more about our actual life than many of the people who are in our life (or are supposed to be). Really it's amazing and we never stop appreciating it.  

Love,

Mrs F

Sunday Morning Musings

I've been checking out a couple new blogs lately. They are both, oddly enough, equally appealing to me. The
FIRST one is chronicling one family's journey as they attempt to take a year off of mindless spending. And the second one? Well, the SECOND one is devoted to an undying love of Target. You see I am somewhat conflicted.


But today Target wins...


wait... Baby can't resist the ding of the photo booth camera!
