Okay, this was supposed to be Wordless Wednesday, emphasis on wordless. But, clearly, I must explain. I thought this picture was funny. It made me giggle when I saw it in Dalton’s backpack and I thought it might make you giggle too. Even Tori laughed, and I didn’t even have to explain why I was giggling. So I thought you… Read More
The beach
Went to the beach over the weekend. Since Chris is down in Florida for work, we decided to pay him a visit. Unfortunately all the wildfires had left quite a bit of smoke in the air, but it was still a beautiful day, even without the sun shining. It was the first trip to the ocean for Sophie and Isabelle,… Read More
a marshmallow-y good time
My mom came down to spend part of the weekend since the kids had a holiday on Monday. The kids were in rare form, the weather was perfect and everyone was on a sugar induced high. We spent a good bit of the day outside and when evening fell we started up the mini fire pit and cracked open the… Read More
The park
Fun in the tub
Thank goodness this house came with a huge garden tub in the master bath. Our nightly ritual is to toss all four of the youngest kids into the tub for bath time. They love this time together and usually end up well-pruned by the time they get out. Sophie is still acclimating to the bubbles, she seems to think they… Read More
Happiness is a trip to Target
Since we live so far away from a lot of our family and friends, we often receive (and LOVE!) gift cards from Target for Christmas gifts. Even Isabelle and Sophie were armed with their cards on a trip to Target the other night. As we perused the aisles, I was pleasantly surprised at how many toys were on sale, nay… Read More
The ‘New Jammies’ Dance
I went out the other day for some ‘alone time’ and found some Dora and Disney Princess jammies for the girls at an outrageously low price. Too cheap to pass up. Even if you’re not a real character-on-clothing-lover (myself included). But the girls love nightgowns and Sophie loves Dora (and ‘Bukes’ as she calls ‘Boots’). Isabelle doesn’t care too much… Read More
Dalton: learning to read
Today was the first time he’d even looked at this Bob Book and he picked it up right away! He just turned 5 less than a month ago… he is so proud and so are momma and baba!
A Very Merry Christmas
Whew! All the preparing and planning we’ve done for the last few months paid off in spades on Christmas morning. It was so precious watching the kids open their gifts, ripping off the paper and realizing that Santa had come through for them again this year. We spent Christmas Eve at an evening church service and then came home and… Read More
Gingerbread Houses: Take Two
My mom, sister and her kids came down on Friday to spend the night. Four years ago, we all got together and let the kids make gingerbread houses out of graham crackers, icing and various candies. We decided to do it again this year, except this time there were three new participants. Very willing participants, I must say. Tori helped… Read More
