This is has been my project. For awhile now, I’ve had my grandma’s old Scrabble game. I kind of love it. Memories. I wanted to make something like this but it took me a while to figure out just what. Today, I put this together, bought scrapbooking papers for the matting, and framed it in […]
Stellan Enters Toddler Bootcamp
We’re done with co-op until after thanksgiving. I thought I’d take advantage of the time home and take away Stellan’s binky. Or potty train. I couldn’t decide. When one cannot decide, choose both. It’s like ripping off a bandaid. Might as well get the crying done quickly. So Stellan woke up to a different world […]
Hunter
Our neighbor asked if Sterling might enjoy learning to hunt, and has taken Sterling several times. Last weekend, he and our neighbor both got a turkey! They have yet to fill Sterling’s deer tag, but Sterling was thrilled to have been successful. My ten year old is filling my freezer! Pretty cool. Good skills. Growing […]
Homecoming 2017
Liberty attended her first homecoming dance last weekend. It all actuality, I attended my first homecoming dance last weekend as well. I was homeschooled, but homecoming wasn’t a homeschooling thing back then. But our co-op hosts one, and I worked at it on the security team. Fun times. Liberty looked amazing. A friend from co-op […]
Remain faithful.
School. It’s all we’re up to around here lately. I can’t seem to get ahead. Co-op homework keeps getting left until Monday, the days are all long, and fun is rare. I finally took Stellan outside to the swing this afternoon, and his giddiness was almost sad. We don’t get to do that very often […]
And… goats.
Meet Opal, Millie, Hazel, and Abram. We’ve talked of getting goats to eat down the brush for a while, but finding does proved complicated. This morning I found an ad, texted, and picked them up – an hour away – two hours later. I planned to buy the three Boer and Boer/Alpine cross does. But […]
Zoo Night
Tuesday was member’s night at the zoo. The kids had a blast. Everyone but Stellan had their faces painted. (Pierce escaped my photography?!) We’ve made a point of going each time they have it, and riding the train too. It’s the only time we ride it, and the only time Blaine is with us at […]
Happy Birthday, Mr. P.
Today, Pierce Allan turned six years old. The years are speeding up on me all of there sudden. I went from the throes of spit up, nursing babies, and six years accumulated time of pregnancy to kids growing up, talking about homecoming dances, learning to hunt, and most of them “in school”. It’s so odd. […]
It ain’t easy.
This week Blaine has been off from work. We’ve continued with school, but it’s been an enjoyable week regardless. Blaine rebuilt my front porch bench with cedar. (It smells amazing!) We bought fifteen laying hens, and Blaine fixed up the coop for them. I got my hair cut for the first time in over a […]
It’s a Zoo.
The two oldest girls went off with friends today, so I planned a trip to the zoo with the little six. We walked the zoo for four hours. I hit 10,000 steps on my Fitbit by 2pm. I. Am. Tired. Also, the term glutton for punishment comes to mind. I have given in. Stellan is […]
