I asked Sterling about 20 questions this afternoon. I do this every so often, mostly to keep tabs on what any one of my kids are thinking and to keep them on their toes and able to answer questions (that they should know the answer to) as fast as I can ask them. Plus, it’s […]
What are the chances?
Last week, I washed and rewashed the couch covers, trying to get out Charlotte’s dry-erase marker drawings. Giving up, I put them back on the couch, priced dye and remained indecisive on whether to let well enough alone or attempt to dye them from tan to a dark brown. Today, having eaten leftover sloppy joe […]
A glimpse of my life.
I was looking at a map on google of a nearby park, and it had me curious what our house looked like from overhead. It’s not completely recent – it still has our old van in the driveway – but it’s been taken since we bought the house. Kinda cool. Upon closer examination, I realized […]
Vote now!
See that badge over on the right, for the top 25 big family blogs? Please? Vote for me? How cool would that be?! Thanks. I owe you one. 🙂
Competition for top honors.
Charlotte has a little competition for the messiest eater contest these days. Yes, I know they are practically the same photo. But which one’s cuter?! I couldn’t decide. Either way, Mr. P. likes sloppy joe. A lot.
F on ‘Effort’.
I asked Sterling to help Charlotte get some shoes on her feet. This is what he came up with. Either I’m asking a little much or he’s not giving me 100%. I’m thinking it’s the latter.
And… DONE!
Formerly white, peeling, and nearly always in need of a good scrubbing, my kitchen cabinets now sport a (in my opinion) lovely shade of gray. I ended up painting far more than I’d intended, spent more time fighting with 34 hinges than I hope to ever spend again, and have yet to wash out my […]
It was awful quiet in there.
I’ve been busy with the kitchen cupboards. Charlotte must have been feeling ignored. She did a little artwork with a red marker. On the coffee table, on the furniture, on the couch. She was destroyed when I had to inform her in no uncertain terms that I did not like her drawings. Never fear, though. […]
A letter.
Dear Child, (who shall remain nameless, because I promise you, this will embarrass you later) There’s a saying about not putting a ‘p’ in the ‘ool. You know the one. Please don’t. I know you were told by an outside source that peeing in the lake is acceptable. I cringe, but the fish do it, […]
According to Ruby.
I’ve been working on our kitchen cabinet doors and drawers. Sanding, priming, and painting aren’t new things around this old little house – as evidenced by Ruby’s comments as she watched me paint yesterday. “Can you paint other things with that paint?” “Yes.” “Can you paint the cat?” “I suppose I could. I don’t imagine […]
