lepers or leprechauns?

Posted by Gina on August 18th, 2008

whose to say…
one of my LifeKIDS left CrossTown Saturday night telling his mom all about how Jesus healed the 10 leprechauns.

same crap… different wrapper

Posted by Gina on August 16th, 2008

Sitting in the McDonald’s drive thru waiting to order a highly nutritious meal for my kids, I’m amused by the pictures on the drive-thru menu.

Toxic Bath

Posted by Gina on August 6th, 2008

Was having one of my super mom moments last night.  Kids splashing in the bath.  Laughing and playing.  Got one head washed with minimal tears.  Got the second head scrubbed.  While rinsing out the suds, I just didn’t pay much attention to the toddler repeatedly saying, “EEEWWWW!” holding his finger in my face.  Just kept [...]
