The tree is down, the house is mostly clean. My parents are headed north to face the storm they missed, Ruby generously shared her cold with Sterling and I, likely Blaine as well, but hopefully not Grandpa and Grandma. The pine needles have been cleaned up – but I’ll likely find them for months to […]
Christmas 2009
Our Christmas letter… if you didn’t get one, didn’t get one yet… or something like that! If you want to get technical, this is a year late. I didn’t get a letter sent out last year at all. But if you’re getting this before Christmas 2009, I’m going to consider it on time anyhow. Some […]
Yesterday on the way to church we were about two blocks from home when Blaine realized he forgot something. He turned, I didn’t grab the crockpot full of pulled pork fast enough… can you see where this is going? Yep, on the floor. Not just tipped, propelled across the front seat’s floor. Some neighborhood dog […]
Would this be wrong?
The bathroom is the warmest in the house when the door is closed and the heat is running. Would it be wrong to grab my book and hang out in there? When I asked Liberty why she took the approach (strange as it was) that she did to her schoolwork today, she replied, “Well, I […]
Should I be worried?
This was what Sterling emerged wearing this morning. Eden’s tights, Liberty’s bathing suit, and shoes – Sterling is never without shoes – and they were backwards – also something pretty common for Sterling. This was after he’d come out with the bathing suit over his boxers – apparently that was a little cold. I got […]
Blaine’s work for the morning…
For those interested, this is the article Blaine wrote and took the photos for this morning. 🙂 http://www.pulaskicountydaily.com/news.php?viewStory=1468
Who spilled on my pj’s?
December. Really?! The girls and I watched “The Baby Story” today. They are fascinated with that show. There was a little girl on there today who was named Eden. She was 3 and, well, Eden. Eden means “delightful” and it was so funny to see another little girl with the same name – and so […]
Stuff vs. People: A good choice – unless you’re Christmas shopping.
I haven’t done any Christmas shopping yet. It’s bad. I usually have these things at least brainstormed about for a bit, but I rather forgot this year. So I’ve been trying to come up with ideas of things to get the kids… and Liberty has several things she likes – she’s not too hard. Eden, […]
It’s all in the numbers.
Number of times I’ve sent children back to bed this morning before 9am: 4. One didn’t get sent back, one got sent twice.Number of times I get told I have my hands full when we go grocery shopping (on average, no lie): 6.Number of kisses I get in a day (from children under 6): 30Number […]
Fun times, for sure.
Home again. 🙂 We spent the last week in South Dakota at my parents. Blaine stayed home to work and a friend and I ventured north. I left my friend in Iowa with her family and continued on, spending Mon-Sat with my parents. The kids had a blast. Notice all the photos here? Yep, I […]
