Great news. I have it all so together. I just ordered prints for the first time since October 2010. You know, when Charlotte was a newborn. On the bright side, my cart in Snapfish sat so long that the coupon codes saved me $21. Sweet! I’ll catch up someday. Maybe. Probably not.
Time for a more masculine project.
I’ve been wanting to use this pattern for a while, but I couldn’t find wool at any of my local stores and hadn’t gotten the chance to trek across town to better stores. Complaining to Blaine about Hobby Lobby’s lack of wool material, he suggested cutting up his coat. You know, the one that has […]
Dumb bug.
Friday had four girls throwing up. Saturday had Momma wishing she would. Sunday it was Daddy’s turn and Charlotte went for round two. FYI: Do not feed a child hot dogs if there is even a remote chance of seeing it for a second time. Sterling and Pierce are the anomalies around here. Sterling is […]
Mercies.
Just when I think God’s given me more than I think I can handle, He shows me mercy. Pierce is napping in his own bed. Just this week, after fighting and losing and spending ridiculous amounts of money for D batteries since the swing was the only place he’d sleep, he started napping in his […]
Sweet.
Every so often, I get a crafty idea. And thanks to the internet and people far more crafty than me, I can usually find a tutorial for whatever I can dream up. Someone before me has already thought of it, made it, took pictures of it, and gave me the measurements needed. It’s fabulous. Today, […]
It’s a ‘Girls Only’ club.
Yesterday, we had a fun day with no school, friends coming over for supper, and a little bit of cleaning before a lot of free time planned. And then… at noon, Eden lost her breakfast. By 2pm, Liberty lost her lunch. Around 3pm, Ruby lost hers. At 6pm, Charlotte joined the club. We have a […]
We’re quarantined.
Why is it that just when the floors are cleaned and the laundry done and the house is company ready, a child loses her breakfast (and lunch and snack) and all plans are off? So frustrating.
Nothing like a little demo.
Trying to teach Pierce to nap in his bed instead of on me. Crying it out isn’t my method of choice, but since informing him of his responsibilities isn’t working, it’s my only option. Pierce has the crying part down pat. But yesterday, when Blaine decided he’d had enough of Pierce’s crying in the living […]
Phonics with a four year old.
Sterling was sounding out three letter words in the beginning of our reading venture… we haven’t made it very far. m…..e…..n….. m…..e…..n….. m…..e…..n….. m…..e…..n….. He wasn’t getting it. “We call boys this,” I hinted. “Dude?” he guessed. Oh dear.
Umm… sure.
“Ruby, can you take your bloomers off, because we’re pretend cops and cops don’t wear bloomers?” Nod and smile. Sometimes it just doesn’t have to make sense. Nod and smile.
