Stellan is a sponge. It’s super fun to fill his little brain with information that he spits back at you when requested. I’ll attempt to embed a video. Let me know if I’m successful? If not, I’ll go about it differently. 643C66C1-4C87-4CBA-B1B5-6A1D97A9B020
Valentine’s Dance 2019
Liberty and Eden attended our co-op Valentine Dance just after Valentine’s Day. It was good to get back to the land of the living after our run in with influenza. They danced the night away and had a great time. I hung out with a job at the dance… and an excuse to be there! […]
Elliot Adelaide: 5.
This sweet girl turned five on Friday. We celebrated her day with sticky buns, strawberry shortcake, and a trip to the chicken hatchery. We thought the little Jersey Giant that hatched a month ago needed friends. And we need egg layers. Aren’t they cute? We got Barred Rocks, Silver Laced Black Wyandottes, and Easter Eggers. […]
Hank, Hazel, and a wretched bout of the flu.
Last Sunday, two day old baby goat Hank crashed. He was too weak to stand. We brought him inside, brought his temp up, stomach tubed him and fed him, and still he died. It was a hard day. Hazel acts like she doesn’t even notice. It’s so weird. We’ve been milking her for now. I’ll […]
So many babies.
It’s been a week of new babies around here. We started out last Wednesday with a baby chick hatched by a broody hen. She sat on eight and hatched one. Checking the eggs to see if others were viable was a whole other story. My house smelled like death and destruction and burning it seemed […]
Stellan Wyatt: 3.
Stellan wanted to color. He went to the printer, hit “copy” and with nothing in it to copy, it spit out a blank sheet of paper. He thinks the printer is a paper dispenser. And he’s figured out how to make it work for him. I can’t decide if I should be proud of his […]
Ewww. Just ewww.
Eden made a cell model for her biology class at co-op. Because she procrastinates ridiculously well, she was down to the wire, and I wasn’t going grocery shopping before it was due. Meet: the cell model, completely edible, made with entirely out-of-the-cupboards ingredients. She managed to pull extra points out of her… forced creativity, shall […]
Skating.
I took the kids roller skating today. It was supposed to be just Liberty and Eden skating, and I was going to kill two hours elsewhere while they skated with friends. The trip there and a bunch of random events had us discussing changing plans and everyone skating instead. I asked if everyone had socks […]
Christmas Week and Dancing… without clothes.
“Stellan, can you dance?” ”No. I have clothes on.” ”You can’t dance with clothes on?” ”No!” He looked at me like I had three heads. I learn something new every day. He is entirely comfy with running through a room without clothes in a mad dash from the laundry room to his dresser… but dancing? […]
Christmas plans.
Sometime before we went to church yesterday, my back decided to call it quits for the day. I’m getting old. 35 is apparently the new 80. I can do nothing specific to hurt myself, and spend a day barely able to move. Day two isn’t looking much better. On the bright side, almost every gift […]
