I’ve been reviewing a DVD series from Institute for Excellence in Writing called Teaching the Classics in May and June. I received the 4 DVDs and the accompanying workbook. I watched the over 5 hours of DVDs with workbook in hand and tried to absorb all. Wow! It was pretty incredible. My kids were around […]
Just because I felt like it.
Pierce walked up to Sterling, grabbed his arm at the wrist and elbow, and bit him for all he was worth mid-forearm. He got enough skin it apparently didn’t hurt too bad, because in slow motion, Sterling realized he was being bitten, turned, saw Pierce, and hollered, “Pie-rce!” Pierce let go, looked up, saw I’d […]
Stink.
Yesterday during the worship service at church Charlie thrust her little finger in the air and said, “THAT came out of MY NOSE!” Watch me sink into the pew just a bit and pretend that didn’t just happen. Pierce is fully pee-trained. It’s going fabulously. (Well, except for when Daddy gave him chocolate milk and […]

From the mouths of…
Last night, as I walked the halls of the church where the kids have been attending VBS, I overheard the following conversation: Older gentleman: “How are you?” Five(ish) little girl: “Em-barr-assed.” Older gentleman: “Aww, why?” Five(ish) little girl: “I passed gas.” Older gentleman, after a moment of silence during which I can only assume, not […]
Sterling’s new glasses.
Sterling had to get new glasses… again… because his dear brother broke them… again… so instead of blue, he chose the same frame in black. He’s pretty happy. I loved the blue, but he tells me that was so yesterday. In other news, my flower beds are oh so colorful right now. It makes me […]
You know those weeks where you’re stressed to the max and nothing is getting accomplished properly? When I have those, blogging falls by the wayside. I’ve been having those kinds of days. On the bright side, we had the rest of the older kids eye appointments yesterday and Pierce didn’t poop on the floor again. […]

Get the little sister to do it.
Overheard between Charlotte and Ruby: “You just swing your hand like this and it’ll fly away.” Charlotte stood, hand raised above the moth, frozen in fear. “Charlie! You just swing your hand like this and it’ll fly off the chair.” Still, Charlie stared at the bug, unwilling to swing. “Char-lie! Just swing at it. It […]
Smelly tales.
Yesterday, after a great morning at home, I decided Pierce was ready to go to the store without a diaper. It was his first outing, so we packed lots of extra clothes and headed out, hoping for the best. He did great. He used the bathrooms in Walmart and Dillons, keeping his pants dry like […]
