Alrighty, then.
I know that they say kids can sleep anywhere but this one takes the cake. I guess her science book was a little tiresome.
one bright sunny day…
I am proud to announce that we no longer have any plain white walls in this house. Whew. It was really weighing on me. Mom’s here, and a post with photos is forthcoming. We’ve been busy. In the meantime, memories of yesterday’s bright sunny day (and playing with Mom’s new camera)…
Save the marshmallows!
I became Sterling’s hero tonight. After hearing a raccoon in the shed growling at the dog and kids several times today, I finally caught sight of it. Since I had thoughts of children’s safety and the chickens we’ve been raising and the others than lay eggs… Sterling’s comment as we walked back down the hill, […]
Yesterday Charlotte climbed to the top of the Little Tykes slide, slid down, and landed nose to bench with the big wooden picnic table. There was blood. If you ask her about it, she’ll tell you. She was pretty devastated that her fun was ruined in a ridiculous amount of pain. So, so sad.
a big (little) Academy is now closed.
Yesterday the last school book closed on the school year 2011-2012 for a big (little) Academy. What to do with today? When we started this homeschooling venture 5 years ago, I knew that it was all or nothing. My kids shudder when they hear “all or nothing” because we dive in, head first, and looking […]

That moment when you walk into the kid’s bedroom to find your three year old on the top bunk, poised to jump onto the mattress on the floor. It looks like fun. It looks like she could get hurt. I paid a lot of money for that mattress. It looks like fun. Then, upon finding […]
Sheer exhaustion. Or perhaps stupidity. You decide.
Last Friday night, after a disastrous trip to the park that ended in me carrying two babies and one 12” bike a mile… that was a mile in my shoes no one would care to walk, let me assure you… I got home, exhausted. Knowing I still had a coat of paint to put on […]
Which consonant do you need?
As we were headed out the driveway this morning, the conversation in the backseat was quite intriguing. Ruby commented she’d seen something in the yard. “It’s not a cow and it’s not a horse. I think it’s a doose.” Sterling replied, quite confused, “A doose?!” “No, a doose. Da Da Da Doose! Or a deese. […]
