I’ve been sewing. Determined to make a sling for Pierce that will get me hands free again after he outgrew my tube sling, I found a pattern for a Mei Tai and went to work. Hello, land of the living. Sling’s finished, and Pierce took a nap in it ten minutes after I tied him […]
Well, hello.
The neighbor from half a mile down the road pulled into the driveway as we were outside this afternoon to introduce himself and welcome us to the neighborhood. We bought the place and moved in just shy of two years ago. Friendly place. In all fairness, we’ve certainly not experienced any unfriendliness. People just leave […]
How rude.
Charlotte’s a little mimic. Her new word? “Rude.” It’ll break any tense moment when I’m scolding someone for being rude when her little one and a half year old voice pipes in and says “Rude!”. Guess what we’ve been talking a lot about lately?
Paper Underwear?
We were given a set of encyclopedias on Sunday. The girls are in love with all the knowledge at their fingertips. Today, Liberty was telling me of people who wear paper underwear held up with rubber bands to be modest. She can’t remember what entry she was reading.
Charlotte got tipped over in the shopping cart on Saturday. Talk about a heart stopping moment. Charlotte was in the cart, Ruby stepped on the side, and over they went. I watched from the other side, diving for a falling cart that I couldn’t catch. You’ll never guess what they landed in. Lawn mower blades. […]
The case of the runaway eyebrow curler.
I was doing my makeup when Sterling asked if he could use my eyebrow curler. I handed it to him, explaining the difference between eyelashes and eyebrows. He nodded, smiled, and went on to attempt to curl his eyelashes. Next thing I know, he had the curler, handle side down, opening and closing it and […]
Sounds from the kitchen.
Sterling is saying “Hi Poopy Alexandra” over and over again to Ruby. I have to say, when we named Ruby I’d feared the rhyming nicknames, but that’s not the name I was fearing. Oh dear.
Happy Half Birthday to you…
Happy half birthday, Charlie girl. Your siblings are thrilled that you are one and a half now. You’re walking and running and jumping and talking in two and three word phrases these days. You wore your hair in a tiny braid for the first time yesterday, but you still prefer it down. You inhale bananas […]
Oh where, oh where, oh where?
We spent two hours looking for my keys yesterday. We pretty much turned it upside down, looking. The problem is, after exhausting all places that I would have put them, I have to put myself in the place of a one year old. And a three year old. And a four year old. And then […]
Worth it?
I worked and cooked for several hours to produce one awesome pan of lasagna tonight. It’s a lot of work, but fun to spend some extra energy to make a nice meal once in a while. Everything I make is from scratch, but we eat a lot of stir fry or meat and potatoes. Quick, […]
