Saturday Morning

This Saturday morning is different from every other in that Papa Johnson is not here to make the big breakfast.  No waking up to the smell of sauteed onions, or the sound of Owen and Papa choosing which color guts to put in the pancakes.  Mama and Papa Johnson have taken off on their European adventure leaving the Wortingers alone in our tiny kingdom.  As I was eating my current favorite cereal, Just the Clusters Maple Pecan Granola, I decided to create a blog.  Any who read this will share in the joys and travails of a Mommy and her three boys (two boys and a Daddy).  
  So with a whole weekend stretching out in front of us, the possibilities are endless.  Fun and games will prevail, but we also have some work (i.e. errands) to do namely...Costco.  I know what you're thinking "Costco on a Saturday??!!" but needs must.  Loren is off and it's so much easier shopping with kids when there is another adult.  So aside from Costco, my goals for this weekend are to fix Owen's bookcase (which I broke trying to redecorate his room.  Blame it on too much HGtv), and to find a way to label his clothes (other than using a Sharpie).  If anyone has a suggestion I would love to hear what worked for you.
  That's news from our tiny kingdom. XOXO

Karen,
This is such a great way to keep up with you guys. Distance may keep us apart but technology keeps us close. Jill and Family

At JoAnne's, Walmart, etc. you can find tags that read "made with love by...", and "this belongs to...." which you can sew on to clothes very easily. Thats a cute and easy way to label Owen's stuff.
Love you,
Nina

Karen:Those are some very cool pictures. Thanks for sharing with us the pictures and histories of the kids growing up (the pear is a great idea). We never made it to Portland, but Central Oregon is a beautiful area. Take care and best wishes for the family.
