Loot

February 27, 2008 – 6:36 pm

Last night was the baby shower for our new little guy, and it was wonderful! Since we weren’t expecting to have another baby at all and haven’t had a boy baby in nearly ten years, our pile ‘o stuff was a bit thin. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying shopping the Gymboree sales for actual proper clothes [...]

And the X-Ray Came Back…..

February 18, 2008 – 9:20 pm

Clear! No broken arm. Phew! Messing with a two year old with a cast sounded rather miserable for all involved. George is recovering but still not quite all together so I took Faithy to the radiologist.
It occurred to me that she would probably need someone to stay in the room with her and they [...]

Pancake Making, the Violent Spectator Sport

February 16, 2008 – 5:55 pm

Well, Kyra and Anika are now pretty fully recovered, but Faith had the flu earlier in the week (fever only lasted two days for her instead of seven like Kyra or five like Anika). She’s not sick anymore, but now my husband has it and has been mostly zombified since Thursday. He seems worse every [...]

Is This Funny Enough for AFV, Mom?

February 10, 2008 – 9:58 pm

Several weeks back my older three children finally got collectively clever enough to pull a prank on my Hubby. Trinity called him into the dining room to “show him something” and when he got beneath the stair railing, the other kids upstairs dumped all the laundry directly out of their hamper and onto his unsuspecting [...]

Mommy, I Have Mushroom Eyes

February 7, 2008 – 12:00 pm

Don’t you just hate it when you get those? Two of my children are sick, Anika and Kyra. Ani came down with a whopping fever on Tuesday and has been pretty much glued to the couch ever since. Her fever seems a bit lower this morning than the 104 it was yesterday, but now she’s [...]

Dinner Dialogue with Pig Boy plus Birthday Party Pics

February 4, 2008 – 9:15 pm

We got in a discussion tonight about various things the children remember being disciplined for (the kids brought this up, not us). Georgie said mostly he gets in trouble for messing with the girls. I replied that you’d think he’d figure out to be nice to them! This ensued:
Georgie: Sometimes the brutal urge just whacks [...]

Theological Questions from My Seven Year Old

February 4, 2008 – 1:28 pm

Yesterday was SuperBowl Sunday and we spent the afternoon with George’s sister and some friends at George’s parents house. Before church while I was sitting on the floor in the big kids’ room helping Anika get her tights on, I told the kids we were going over to Auntie Masha’s to go watch the football [...]

I May Be Obsessing….

February 1, 2008 – 11:11 am

I’m having a boy. You already know this, of course, but you see I have pretty much no boy clothes left from Georgie, who was born nine years ago and then was followed by four girls. Naturally this means I must shop. Darn! Gymboree has been having a bunch of great clearance stuff so I’ve [...]
