Some things you just never think about – until they happen.

October 30, 2009 by Adrienne

I’ve never “taught” any of my children to dress themselves. The just did it. Until now. Sterling, at the ripe old age of nearly two and a half, needs to learn this. Clothes, in his opinion, are meant to be worn until they wear off. He loves whatever he has on, most certainly does not […]

The work of a master.

Sterling wanted bread the other day. Blaine was eating some with his soup, and Sterling wanted two pieces. He was pretty direct about the two pieces part. This is what Blaine found a few minutes later… Closer still…. Ah, yes. One hotdog still-in-the-package sandwich. Mmmmm.

Mom?

“Mom, that sign says people who smoke can’t shop in this store.” “Um, not exactly Eden. They can shop here. They just can’t smoke inside while they are shopping.” “Oh. Do they know how to stop smoking for a few minutes while they get the things they need?” “Oh, baby, I sure hope so!”

Turns out, the earth is round.

Did you know? It’s impossible to fall off the face of the earth. The internet, however, is flat, and there’s a curb. It’s possible to disappear in these parts. Somewhere between laundry, dishes, school, chasing after Ruby the Terror and Sterling with his Bare Bottom, I got lost on my way back to the blog. […]

Random non-news and… well, that’s pretty much it.

Our shower whistles sometimes. Who knows? Eden was a bit concerned when it started it’s shriek this morning. “Daddy! The alarm o’clock is beeping!” Ah, yes. We laughed. Went for a drive tonight. We found a house for sale, with the info out front. Before I went to the info envelope, we both guessed on […]

You told me to blow!

September 21, 2009 by Adrienne

Ruby, birthday cake in front of her, in the front yard. Like my sprinkle work? I know, I’m so very talented, I can’t even stand it.Told to blow, she blew! Oh, baby.Mmm, cake. Decorated by Ruby, even. She blew her two cents in. Yep, must be good. Ruby got a baby doll for her birthday. […]

Presenting…

September 21, 2009 by Adrienne

We’ve been here three and a half weeks, so I’m going to consider this on time – mostly. The computer didn’t crash when I uploaded the camera, but I’ve chosen not to check the memory usage. It’s better that way, right?! Without further ado… our house. I have a few more blogs coming asap, now […]

Nope, still no photos.

September 8, 2009 by Adrienne

Sorry folks. I’m just not that good. Mostly, my computer is full and dumping a memory card full of photos is more than likely going to be the death of it. We’ll get there though. We’ve been in Springfield for a week and a half at this point. I’ve gotten lost half a dozen times, […]

They spend WAY too much time around me.

September 3, 2009 by Adrienne

We were at a meeting for the soon-to-be-no-longer-URC URC church last night. Afterward, the one and only elder was talking to Eden and he suggested we could meet for services in her room. She giggled, said there wasn’t enough room, and he said maybe we could all fit under her bed. Her reply made me […]

Yes, I am a bit slow.

August 30, 2009 by Adrienne

But admitting it is the first step to recovery, right? We got here Friday morning. We left Wednesday, saw cousins in Columbus Ohio, pulled one all nighter, got better gas mileage than we expected with both vehicles, returned the “big yellow uck” (Sterling speak for truck) yesterday, and now we’re trying to find the living […]
