Our tree, cut in the back pasture, decorated very carefully with only the lightest unbreakable ornaments, and much-loved by children who do not remember what a real Christmas tree is supposed to look like.
Well, that was just cool.
Sterling loved his work boots. All summer, he’d put on his work boots, his “work” jeans (jeans with holes in the knees, to match the holes in his Daddy’s jeans that were well-earned crawling in the crawlspace) and he’d head out to help his Daddy. Blaine had much to do, mostly in the crawlspace, involving […]
What does that mean?
Apparently Brady has me trained. She barks at her water bowl, I rinse and fill it. Really now. Eden heard the “making a list/checking it twice” line and asked what it meant. The idea of Santa is a fairly foreign concept to her, and after explaining it, she asked, “If it really was true, if […]
Adrienne’s* helpful hints #153
Taking a pair of tights – women’s or girls’ (Liberty’s worked. Thanks, L.) – and cutting a two inch wide strip from around the top of the leg (so that it’s still an unbroken circle) and then hot-gluing a 1” or so length of ribbon around it in one spot, overlapping the ribbon and gluing […]
Christmas, homemade.
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 […]
