In the beginning...

Well, after lots of thought here I am... blogging! There has been so many moments over the past several weeks that have made me think, "this is why I need to blog... if I had a blog that thing right there would be in it!". And so "hello" friends and welcome to the daily chaos and comics of The Treacle Tribe.

So, if you've missed out at all on what has been happening around our house in the past 3 weeks, I'll try to recap:

• We're renting a huge house (for us) in Springfield, Virginia. I'm talkin 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, finished basement, 2 living areas.... I know for some of you that seems normal. But, if you think back to what our house was like in Indy.... we super sized the value meal.

• Bryant decided to shave off his hair (in recognition of his balding destiny). It began with a discussion over dinner, then resulted in a trip to CVS and ended with his hair on the bathroom floor and him saying, "can you believe that's all my hair!"

• My children discovered (to my dismay) that Kmart has the same video shopping cart that Meijer used to have. And Gracie was sure to let me know as well as everyone else in the store that she was not happy sitting in a regular cart but that she needed to watch Dora in the Dollar mobile. I on the other hand did not give in (as I used to in Meijer) but, instead let her ride in the basket of the boring shopping cart and play with all the "stuff" that her momma threw in there.

So, there ya go. There's three brief highlights from these past three weeks. The later one occurred just this morning!
