Happy half birthday, Charlie girl. Your siblings are thrilled that you are one and a half now. You’re walking and running and jumping and talking in two and three word phrases these days. You wore your hair in a tiny braid for the first time yesterday, but you still prefer it down. You inhale bananas […]
Oh where, oh where, oh where?
We spent two hours looking for my keys yesterday. We pretty much turned it upside down, looking. The problem is, after exhausting all places that I would have put them, I have to put myself in the place of a one year old. And a three year old. And a four year old. And then […]
Worth it?
I worked and cooked for several hours to produce one awesome pan of lasagna tonight. It’s a lot of work, but fun to spend some extra energy to make a nice meal once in a while. Everything I make is from scratch, but we eat a lot of stir fry or meat and potatoes. Quick, […]
Brothers.
*Sterling picked out a new sun hat yesterday. Momma cringed and went with it. I do love hats… but I’m not so certain I love that hat. Pierce’s sun hat is leftover from years past… when I got to pick out the one that I liked – but Pierce rather likes his pj’s.
Dear Daddy, We’re cold. It’s 63 degrees in the house, Momma refuses to put a fire in the stove and says to put more clothes on. Ruby’s version of more clothes: A t-shirt, a fleece, a tank top over the fleece, sweat pants, and pajama pants over the sweat pants. Oh yea, and flip flops. […]
One classy girl.
I love hats. I wish I looked better in them, but I love them just the same. Eden’s in the same boat. I’m not certain if it’s just to please me – she swears it isn’t – or if she truly loves them as much as I do, but she wears them often. Yesterday, we […]
Brought to you by Eden Rayne.
Eden saw something with a “Since 1942.” label on it. “Momma, were you alive in 1942?” “Nope.” “Wow, that really was a long time ago!” Blaine is out of town for work tonight and Eden asked why he wasn’t coming home. I explained the whole working thing and got an incredulous, “So he’s staying in […]
Dearest Pierce, We all know you’re a crank. Since day one, you have let the world know of your displeasure, loud and often. We all ignore it to some extent, cater to it to some extent, and look forward to the day that you decide we didn’t do you such the disservice as you seem […]
Mmm, chicken.
We got 12 broiler chicks last Saturday. At the moment, they are in a giant wooden box (thanks, Dad!) in the garage. Sterling and Ruby have taken to running down about once per hour to check on them. “Momma! They have blood on them!” Oh honey. That’s their behind. It’s supposed to be pink. No […]
Dear Charlotte, I appreciate your attempts to be thrifty. Adding water to my face wash was a nice touch. It’ll stretch so much farther now. I’m not sure I like the new consistency, but I’m sure it’ll pour grow on me. The eating toothpaste habit we must discuss. I’m about to make everyone use baking […]
