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 […]
Old Man Pants, Bandaids, and more, at a store near you.
Ah, it’s been too long. I know. The weather here, I must say, is beautiful. 70+ degree days makes for happy kids outside – which makes for one happy momma. It’s hard to remember it’s November. This week is a crazy one. Appointments all week, Sunday dinner for the church at our house, then Monday […]
Some things you just never think about – until they happen.
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!
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…
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 […]
