Today, we made slingshots. Sterling was using a hairband as a slingshot and I decided we could do better. We wandered our woods, found sticks (4… we couldn’t not make one for all the bigger kids) and patched together rubber bands, dental floss and fabric. Sterling was thrilled. Liberty used hers to swing a small […]
Daddy’s away… again. And finally:
One year and three days ago, I posted this post: https://abiglittlefamily.com/2011/01/when-daddy-is-away-the-girls-will-find-something-anything-to-keep-busy/ Today, I can finally post this picture: I love it. And now, so I can place your talent admiration squarely where it belongs… in March, my mother offered to make the quilt. I declined. In July, she offered again. Still I dumbly declined. And […]
Hello, can you say distracted?
A friend from church volunteered to watch my kids for a few hours today.My kids love when she comes, I get a break, and it amazes me how many stores I can go to in a short time without dealing with so many kids and car seats. Thank you, Janie. So, so much appreciated. And […]
Dear Blaine,
Hurry home. They are in cahoots together. 2 against 1. I lose. Love, Adrienne
A truer measure, perhaps?
Friends keep asking how I’m doing with Blaine gone. I keep saying I’m fine. Blaine spent a lot of time getting things set up around here so this month would go smoothly. This morning I started pouring Cheerios in my coffee. Maybe I’m not doing as well as I thought.
What I walked into the kitchen to find just now…
Ruby liked it. Obviously. She even added a bit to her hair. You know, for color. As did Charlotte. And now that she’s soaked in the tub for a bit, I’m going to go see if I can chisel her cheeks free…
Your world, according to Ruby.
Ruby and Sterling were arguing. Sterling stated he didn’t like supper. Ruby insisted he did. That was an interesting conversation. (Amazingly enough, Sterling ate it anyway. Turns out, not eating lunch – because he didn’t like what I made – makes him very hungry!) Why, when I leave the room because I cannot hear my […]
Pierce: 16 weeks
In honor of Pierce’s 3 month and one week birthday, some photos. He’s 15 pounds, growing some impressive eyelashes (and eyebrows) happy (part of the time) when he’s held or swinging and far larger than any of my other babies at three months old. It’s crazy. He likes to sleep in my bed, and rarely […]
Wanted: One mommy.
Ruby informed me this morning “If I hugged you really tight on your neck and you couldn’t breathe you would die.” “Yes, I suppose that could happen. But it would have to be a really long hug,” I replied. “Then I’d have to buy a new mommy.” So glad to know I’m easily replaced.
Ah, the lovely gravelly feeling of staying up half the night to aid in hanging sheetrock on the ceiling… and the joy of almost having a ceiling in the laundry room! Achy. Totally worth it. Thanks, B.
