I don’t do nearly enough homeschooling posts. On that note, we tried building a nest this week. A nest. For birds. Not as easy as you might think! My girls learned quickly that they would not make great birds. They can’t build a brilliant nest. {That… and they can’t fly… weird!} Their science book [...]   So much to catch up on… Let’s see, Baby B has a tooth as of April 8th (much to the detriment of his nursing mother… he’s a biter!), he also started sitting up all by himself a couple days later, and at his appointment at exactly 5 months old he weighed 18 pounds 11.5 oz. [...] We moved into this house about 7 years ago. In the winter. Little did we know that the backyard was not covered in luscious, green grass come spring and summer. Oh no, it was covered in lovely weeds. Anthony tried his hardest to keep the ‘lawn’ mowed and looking nice. Well, as nice [...] **WARNING: High volume of pictures… and a video… but first there’s a whole lot of babbling! Warned again. It was one of those weekends! Jam-packed and so much fun… yet so much drama! First off, I took the kids to get their pictures taken. My mother-in-law had given each grandchild $50 for the [...] It’s been said that children tend to follow in the footsteps of the parent with the same gender. They look up to that parent as the role model and emulate traits that he/she has. And it comes naturally. No one has to tell the child which parent they should pattern after. I absolutely agree! [...] My father-in-law had his hip replaced just over four months ago… July 5th. That meant that he had to fast after a certain time on the 4th of July. What a day to have to fast, eh? Well, we asked him ahead of time what he would want as his ‘last meal’ before the [...] Sometimes, when I’m feeling especially down about our current struggles, it’s my kids that lift my spirits. They remind me of the butterflies and rainbows that are all around me. And they make me laugh. Several weeks ago, K said something to me that has stuck with me ever since. Something so simple. [...] Over the summer, my girls and I decided we needed a project. And by ‘we’ I really mean, ‘I’. We decided to try and get a postcard from every state in the U.S. Since we are studying U.S. History this year in our homeschool, it’s a perfect fit! The problem is that we [...] I realize that watermelons should have absolutely nothing to do with hair. And really they don’t have anything to do with each other in this post. That would be gross! It’s just that I was on Pinterest the other day and saw that someone had pinned “how to cut a watermelon”. From what I [...] {Sorry Kristin. Totally stole your title but seriously, what else do you call it?} Way back in high school, Anthony LOVED to run. At least that’s what he always claimed. He said it made him feel free and helped clear his mind. Did I believe him? Sure, why not? But if I’m being honest, [...]  |
