Top Ten: Ode to Indiana
"Back home again in Indiana..." (sing with me)While the old saying is true (You can take the kid out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the kid), Scott and I were able to spend 5 precious years in Indiana which we cherish very much. This Easter season, we ventured back for a long weekend and the trip did not disappoint. It was super-fantabulous. This week's top ten is dedicated to our trek cross country. Buckle your seatbelts ...
Hot Diggety Dog!
Will is O-fficially CAST-FREE! He and Scott headed to the doctor's office this morning and they removed the cast. Dr. S did give him a temporary removable splint to wear for the next couple of weeks while the tenderness goes away. This morning, as Will was getting dressed, I could hear him singing, "Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog, I get my cast off..."We're gearing up for a busy week - a couple of pretty cool William's are celebrating ...
Top Ten: Travel fears
Wondered where we were? I'm in super-fantastic packing mode. We're getting ready to leave for Indiana for Easter and I'm freaking out. You should see the million organized piles around our house. They're organized, but they're everywhere. I feel like I'm packing for an army, preparing for the worst possible scenario. The kids all have extra changes of clothes and we're carrying on the Easter outfits because I'm convinced that if we don't our luggage will end up in Hawaii. ...

It’s a Wrap
Is anybody else out there as sad as we are? Spring Break is officially over. (insert heavy sobbing here) Goodbye showers at 10am, goodbye late night ice cream, goodbye "let's wait until tomorrow to give the kids a bath" nights, goodbye late night HGTV, we'll see you this summer...But, there's still a few hours left of this glorious week and I would be remiss without sharing some of our best photos from the Zilker adventure on Wednesday. When you have ...
Snapshots: A Day at the O.C.
We spent yesterday at Onion Creek, otherwise known as the O.C. Papa cooked some gourmet omelets, with his sous chef John Paul. They made quite a duo and the eggs were delish. Then, Papa and Scott took the boys golfing. It appears they had a good time. Although at hole #2, they were already asking for a bathroom and lunch.Nana and I took the girls shopping, of course. Unfortunately, there are no pictures of our excursion, only receipts 🙂 It's ...

... and welcome to the chaos. I know a thing or two about big families (I've got 6 kids), carpool, Catholic converts, the Texas Aggies, prematurity, date nights with Mr. Whitaker, organization and party planning, but I still don't know why it's so hard for my kids to put up their shoes. My Texas-sized heart is honored to have you here! Contact me at kathrynwhitakertx@gmail.com
