I’m so far behind, it’s ridiculous. Moving on. June 15 Father’s Day, and T was still out of town (because apparently, working on Father’s Day several hours from home is perfectly acceptable to a company. Ahem) So, video chat. June 16 Ivy took a picture of Skeeter, and we […]
This was a down week…only one or two things planned. I like having things to do and places to go during the summer, but I definitely like to have some relaxed, take it easy, do whatever we feel like doing time, too. It never got above 80 degrees, though, so […]
Due to crappy work circumstances, my husband can’t be home for Father’s Day and we don’t know when we’ll be able to see him again. But, we didn’t want to miss a chance to celebrate our favorite man of the house, daddy, hubs. I asked the kids to let me […]
It’s June! Already! June 1 Batman marathon on BBC. All. Day. Long. June 2 First day of bible school! All four kids were old enough to go (yay!), so I had three whole hours to myself every morning this week. Swimming. Erv wasn’t too thrilled, so basically I […]
May 25 Toddlers have style, yo. And big imaginations. May 26 On Memorial Day morning, my mom and I got up and did a 5K. May 27 The big two went to a two-night camp! It was Henry’s second year and Ivy’s first. And because the big […]
My husband thinks I’m addicted to car seats. I’m not, I swear. But I might be addicted to not having to switch car seats around to a different car in the morning when we’re trying to leave for school, or to replacing old ones that you can no longer adjust […]
Summer break has started! I’m both excited and scared! But really, we have a lot of fun things planned, plus plenty of down time, so it should be good. May 18 I finished the weekend with the Mamavation 5K (and ended the #2weekchallenge). I tried really, really hard to get […]
We live just off a rural highway. We have a false sense of secrecy, almost, with the canopy of leaves and trees.
We hear birds chirping and farm equipment rumbling as often as we hear the cars go by.
Though the sense of alone-ness is vague and all-encompassing, the sense of danger […]
May 11
Mother’s Day. We went out for lunch, as is our “tradition” (going on three years now), and I made the kids take a picture with me. It wasn’t the most successful photo shoot we’ve ever had…
(This picture is an optical illusion…I am NOT pregnant. Thanks, Ivy, for the belly […]
The big two have less than 2 weeks of school left and the preschool is done on Friday. !!!! That’s the advantage of going back earlier than everybody else in the country, in August….we get out earlier, too. But seriously, I can’t believe it’s almost summer. May 4 I finally […]
