The art of avoidance

This morning was the first day in three that we didn't have plans to run around and have family fun time so that meant we needed to get up and hit the ground running since evil moving people will descent upon our house in 2 days. Luckily for Madelyn it was a chilly morning and I am a master at avoiding what needs to be done.

Hey Madelyn, you need some shoes!


I think your foot is broken, we'll have to operate...


Nevermind, it's just Elmo Feet!

Please, pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and make yourself comfortable.  Hi!  I am Katrina aka Froggy Lady.  I like frogs.   No really.   I do. The Lily Pad is my little space on the internet that I like to call home.  It's a place where I take off my shoes, relax and get a little crazy sometimes. I also like to visit Four Ribbons   and get my craft on. This is my Marine, he fights for freedom.

Can't wait

On holidays I think forward to how they will be when we have our own child. I think of what my parents did with and for us and imagine doing those same things for my own child. It's the small day to day things that shape us into what we are. In our house, Valentines Day was never about romantic love, even though Mom and Dad obviously loved each other and did things for one another.
