Yesterday, we went grocery shopping. We needed bread – I buy that about every 5 weeks – and a week and a half worth of groceries. I hate taking all the kids these days, but that’s what yesterday needed to be. Five hours in, ready to go home, worn out from dealing with kids and […]
Time for some vocab. After I finish laughing.
Eden’s doing a report on Thomas Edison for our homeschool co-op. A voracious reader with a seven year old vocabulary, she was telling me about what she’d read. “A bear he’d caught in town and tied to a tree broke loose, blundered into his lab, and wrecked hay-vock. What’s hay-vock mean anyway? And I don’t […]
Happy half-birthday, Mr. Pierce.
These little toes, these baby blues, and this sweet smile first made their appearance six months and forty minutes ago. Quite the little man he’s becoming. He’s working hard to sit on his own, still all gums and no teeth, blond as can be, and quite opinionated. Nursing between two and six times, every night, […]
Tilled garden and grades completed. What a day.
I’ve been sewing. Determined to make a sling for Pierce that will get me hands free again after he outgrew my tube sling, I found a pattern for a Mei Tai and went to work. Hello, land of the living. Sling’s finished, and Pierce took a nap in it ten minutes after I tied him […]
Well, hello.
The neighbor from half a mile down the road pulled into the driveway as we were outside this afternoon to introduce himself and welcome us to the neighborhood. We bought the place and moved in just shy of two years ago. Friendly place. In all fairness, we’ve certainly not experienced any unfriendliness. People just leave […]
How rude.
Charlotte’s a little mimic. Her new word? “Rude.” It’ll break any tense moment when I’m scolding someone for being rude when her little one and a half year old voice pipes in and says “Rude!”. Guess what we’ve been talking a lot about lately?
Paper Underwear?
We were given a set of encyclopedias on Sunday. The girls are in love with all the knowledge at their fingertips. Today, Liberty was telling me of people who wear paper underwear held up with rubber bands to be modest. She can’t remember what entry she was reading.
Charlotte got tipped over in the shopping cart on Saturday. Talk about a heart stopping moment. Charlotte was in the cart, Ruby stepped on the side, and over they went. I watched from the other side, diving for a falling cart that I couldn’t catch. You’ll never guess what they landed in. Lawn mower blades. […]
The case of the runaway eyebrow curler.
I was doing my makeup when Sterling asked if he could use my eyebrow curler. I handed it to him, explaining the difference between eyelashes and eyebrows. He nodded, smiled, and went on to attempt to curl his eyelashes. Next thing I know, he had the curler, handle side down, opening and closing it and […]
Sounds from the kitchen.
Sterling is saying “Hi Poopy Alexandra” over and over again to Ruby. I have to say, when we named Ruby I’d feared the rhyming nicknames, but that’s not the name I was fearing. Oh dear.
