Long have I claimed that children are a little loose in the screws, but now I have photographic evidence. You know how most people sleep in their beds with actual blankets covering them? Well, my smaller girls have decided that something so pedestrian really will not do and have come up with alternative sleeping arrangements: [...]
I finally got a new camera battery a few weeks ago, and since then I’ve been taking tons of pictures. Consequently, I have multiple items I wish to blog about. Luckily for you, I plan spread them out over a few posts; however, today I have something too awesome to wait. The kids’ baseball games [...]
Good morning, world, I thought to myself as I popped out of bed this morning. It was 8:30 and the whole house was quiet. Even Georgie was still asleep in the top bunk of my bed. I’ll go upstairs and see Mom. Hmmm, everything was quiet upstairs, too. Maybe I’ll just peek in her bedroom [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
