Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
It’s amazing how lonely uneventful my days are now that all of my Dudes are in school all day. Whereas we used to spend our days taking awesome photos featuring the sunglasses from the sunglasses of the month club we’re a part of… Now, I spend my days with the dog (snore) and our evenings are filled with homework and sports practices while our weekends
What we did the weekend before compulsory education came and took my baby to the big kid school… Hung out with friends… Rolled out the race cars… Smiled awkwardly with Papa’s race car… And hung out with some cowboys… We even got the middle schooler to hang out with us (even though he sat two rows back and further down)… What do you have to
This week I was planning on sharing a post about our last days of summer. Pictures of the rodeo and a really awesome night at the drag race track with Mimi and Papa, The Dudes, and some friends were on the agenda (don’t worry, I’ll give it to you next week). Only I can’t. Because of this… And, I need to talk about this kindergarten
Grandparents are awesome. Specifically the ones I call Mom and Dad. We love being able to spend summer days at their house. Lounging around the pool, letting Mimi make delicious food stuffs for us, gorging ourselves on Papa’s would-be-world-famous-if-the-world-could-taste BBQ ribs.

Summer is over. Okay, not really, but essentially. We only have 13 days until school starts. Thirteen. Days. And then no more cuddling in bed for hours in the morning followed by pancakes and cartoons and trips to the lake… Sigh. We didn’t do super amazing at our summer bucket list thingy, but I’m not too torn up about it. We wound up creating some
I’m always looking for easier ways to get better nutrition into the dudes. If it were up to them we’d probably eat BBQ chicken and Cinnamon Toast Crunch with M&Ms in it for dinner every night. Go ahead and gag. You know you want to. But actually, Cinnamon Toast Crunch is pretty tasty with M&Ms mixed in and everything is tasty if you BBQ it.
I consider myself an honorary army brat (I had to Google why people call them us that). My parents weren’t active duty military, but they were support staff for the army for most of my life. Like many active duty military families we moved a lot. We lived overseas. We went to Department of Defense schools. We shopped for clothing at the PX and got
So, you want to hear about the movie first or just see the premiere pictures? Fine. Pictures it is… Wipe your mouth, woman, you’re drooling! Let me try to answer the questions I know are running through your head right now… Yes. He is even more fabulous in person. No kidding. No. He didn’t take his shirt off. We were in a movie theater and
Summer is here people. Ain’t no denying it. I sweated straight though my panties at the soccer field last weekend. Gross if you attempt to conjure an image of me in my soaking wet drawers, so yeah, don’t do that. Just know that the kids are home, the sun is out (when it’s not a torrential downpour), the humidity is starting to make me hallucinate,
