The Mandel5 bio picture

Welcome to the Mandel 5!

Thanks for stopping by our little world.  There is never a dull moment in this house with Rob's teaching jobs, my part-time teaching and part-time photography, three busy kids, and more pets than we need.  Check out the links above to read my friends' blogs, find old posts, or get in touch with me.

yummy dessert

Rob took the kids to super walmart tonight while I had a session. Where else can you buy fruit and fishing line? They also bought ingredients to make a “treat.” Then he let them make this: marshmallows, pudding, bananas, vanilla wafers, chocolate chips, and chocolate graham crakers.

Last Saturday was date night and we bought a new addition to the family while we were out – my new MacBook. This will be my work computer. I also bought some spiffy new presentation software – big changes are coming for the biz in 2007. Did anyone get the Santa Clarita Magazine in the...

let there be light

Or I could call this post “How pathetic are WE?” I went to Wal Mart today and dropped $40 on light bulbs. Yes light bulbs. I just finished going from room to room and I changed 18 bulbs! And most of those I had to stand on a ladder to change. That does...

I dressed Megan up cute since we were headed to the park to fly a kite. I got the pictures I wanted. She is really good at flying it and keeping it up there.

Logan was a little stuffed up when I put him to bed last night. I heard him crying around 3AM and when I went in to see him, I asked what was wrong. He sobbed, “My nose is not working.”

3 in underwear!

Logan is officially potty trained. Can you believe it? He’s not three until December 30th. Megan ditched diapers at 36 months, Nathan at 39, and Logan now at 32. I have to give credit to his 3-year old pal Kylie and Auntie Mann. Even when he was staying dry at the sitter’s, I had him...
