Our church has the coolest Sunday School classes ever! A month or so ago Georgie came home all excited because he had homework from his Sunday School class (!!). He had two weeks to build a complete tabernacle out of whatever he wanted, so naturally he decided to make his from Bionicles. In case you [...]
Ever wondered what happens when your four year old does your hair? When I was pregnant with Henry last year I spent several months on the couch trying really hard not to vomit, and Kyra decided that good Mommy and Kyra time would involve her sitting on the arm of the couch right by my [...]

When Georgie and I returned from a brief shopping excursion the other day, we discovered the girls all dejectedly milling about the kitchen. They had wanted to make frosted graham crackers out of Anika’s cookbook but couldn’t find any graham crackers.
I headed upstairs to go monkey around for half an hour before dinner prep needed [...]

Overheard this morning:
Faithy: Bad Georgie. Bad Georgie!
Georgie: No, not Bad Georgie. Bad Faithy. Bad Faithy!
Faithy: Hey, I’m not bad Faithy. DON’T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!!
Faithy’s almost three. Not so much of a pushover that one….
Fiendish friend for effusive fun!

Friday night for Halloween we went to our church’s annual Reformation Night party (did you know that Martin Luther nailed the 95 theses on the door of the Wittenburg Castle Church on October 31, 1517? This, of course, was the spark for the Protestant Reformation). The party always involves booths with games and things that [...]

So I don’t know whether it’s just because Georgie is getting to be a bigger boy now and not a littler boy, but he seems to be stepping up his domination quotient a bit lately. As fun as that may sound, it usually results in lots of loud “Georgie, stop that!” from the girls and/or [...]

Georgie is ten! His birthday was Sunday, and somehow he has made it to ten years old. I gotta tell you, every day from the time he was eighteen months to four and a half, I wondered how in the world he was going to make it to the next day without me strangling him. [...]

Monday night as we were all loaded into the van trundling down the Babunya’s (a.k.a. “Hubby’s Mom”) house for dinner, I could have sworn I heard the word “damn” ushering from my darling eight-year old daughter’s lips. Not only that, but it was being pronounced in the same way you would hear it from a [...]

George’s youngest brother Jon got married on Saturday. Four of the kids plus George were in the wedding, and George’s brother David and his family were up from Arizona. Their kids are around the same ages as ours, so they had a wonderful time playing together. They regularly ask to go visit or when the [...]

This morning as we were barreling down the freeway my children began to sing the Twelve Days of Christmas because really, Christmas is a mere four months away!! This delightfully repetitive and obnoxious song that is pretty much the holiday equivalent of 99 bottles of beer on the wall began to evolve after about the [...]
