Christmas, homemade.

December 15, 2010 by Adrienne

My sewing machine and I have been hard at work making Christmas dresses (less the green and red, since I do not plan on putting in so many hours sewing for something that can be worn just at Christmas!) for the girls. Sterling wondered what he was getting, so I made him a shirt to […]

It’s a good thing you’re cute, Dog.

Brady seems to have caught the flu from the kids. At least that’s what I’m assuming that’s what she was telling me with her little surprises all over the house this morning. Note to self: kennel Brady tonight.

All great literature… leads to great quotes.

“Eden, I needed that spoon to get MY yogurt!” “Sorry Lib.” “Just wash it.” Eden washes the table. “Not the table Eden! The spoon!” Eden wipes the spoon with the dishrag. “Eden! Wash the spoon in the sink, not with that rag! You’re just like Amelia Bedelia.” I love it.

Hmm… poor, poor boy.

"Did you go potty?" "No, I couldn’t." “Why not?” “Because I tried to open the toilet, but the lid was too heavy.” We’ve been dealing with vomit – or did deal with it, since it seems to have passed. Sterling, though, must be experiencing loss of strength. Or something like that.

Adrienne’s helpful hints #256

Spreading a thin layer of honey in a strip along the front edge of your cabinets allows you to fill the cabinet to the line and those pesky items that protest the overfill will stick into the honey and stay put when you open the cupboard! Problem solved! Be aware that doing this on lower […]

After spending an hour cleaning the tub that I scrubbed less than a week ago, I’ve come to one conclusion: the maize color that was so popular in the 70’s? It was for a reason. Instead of Rust-B-Gone, it was “Rust? Where?” I mean, really, if you can’t see it, who cares? I find myself […]

Ruby wins.

December 1, 2010 by Adrienne

Ruby likes to procrastinate at bedtime. She’ll go potty, get her diaper on, and then decide she needs to go again. And again. As many times as she can convince you. Diaper off. Diaper on. Off. On. Tired of this scheme, the new rule: go before the diaper goes on. Go to bed. Stay there! […]

I sneezed 4 times this morning and was informed by my son that it was funny because I had “three snore sneezes and only one ‘Bless you!’”. Funniness. I was nursing Charlie this morning without covering myself, sitting at the computer in front of the window. A Dodge Charger drove past, stopped in front of […]

Who done it?

November 22, 2010 by Adrienne

The toilet won’t flush; Blaine’s getting something to fix it, and I gathered the kids together to find out who flushed something they weren’t supposed to. Ruby was quiet, I asked her what she flushed, and finally admits it, scared and whispering. “My poopy.” Oh, honey.

Thank you, my Dear.

November 17, 2010 by Adrienne

As a bridal shower gift, my now sister-in-laws bought me a set of pans. A few years ago, Blaine found a matching saucepan, larger than I had, and added that to my collection. The littlest saucepan, once well-used, had gotten too small to be useful with meal prep for my crew. Today, we hit a […]
