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 […]
Why don’t you make yourself at home, my dear?
We came home from errands today and within moments of walking into the house, Charlotte took her shorts off. Potty-training bare-bottom technique backfire. Take 254. I’ll just be thankful it wasn’t at the store. Or at a church we were visiting again after having moved away seven years earlier. Oh yeah, that’s never happened.
It’s been hot. Hot enough that, were I really on top of things, I could have the clothes hung on the clothesline, back off the clothesline, folded and put away by the time the next load is finished washing. If only I were that good. Pierce is, slowly but surely, deciding to move. He propels […]
Exposed.
Motherhood moment of the day: At the second to last stop, including a bit of time spent at the park, finding your dear newly potty trained daughter without her undergarments. Sad admission: It’s not the first time it’s happened. FYI: I found said undergarments in our bathroom, upon arrival at home. Apparently, while I put […]
Another giveaway. If you can handle it.
Purex, as a thank you for making their Dry Idea campaign successful, has sent me three (more!) coupons to give away. Can you handle more freebies? I have three coupons for free Purex TripleAction laundry detergent. Comment here or on a big (little) family facebook page for a drawing. I’ll draw on Friday.
Shortcomings. Major shortcomings.
I made rice crispy bars yesterday. I made them for community group… and forgot to take them. Perfect. Ruby’s been eyeing them ever since though. She has a question though. “Why, when you buy them from the store, they aren’t attached, but when you make them, they are all attached? And in a pan?” I’m […]
