Ah-two!

Ah-two!

Two.  What a marvelous age! This little monkey man is at the stage most would call “handful.” How’s that? Well, let’s just say I discovered this week that he has the amazing ability to turn a bottle of glue into a 35-ft trail across the house… in all of about 30 seconds.  Maybe he needed the trail...

Do you play crochet?

Do you play crochet?

So I stuck C & D in a “creative movement” class.  It was right after C’s ballet, and it was at the same time as the adult clogging.  Seemed like a good thing, especially since I really enjoy clogging.  (That way I “only” had two kids to manage while dancing.  Mm-hm.) Surprise, surprise, they had...

Flowers in D

When I signed my kids up with a small dance studio (or group, rather, so I thought) for homeschoolers, I had no idea the quality was comparable to… well, let’s just say that when the recital came together last week, I was impressed.  Very, very impressed. This was no “small dance group” for geeky, withdrawn,...

Lately

Lately

She’s been creative lately. And so has her two-year-old brother.  Nothing like straight protein powder while mom nurses the baby. Doodle, on the other hand, has been strong.  Super strong! He was a little bit happy about splitting that board.  I’ll have to load the video of him telling us the story.  Someday. Freedom has been learning to...

Compassion

I love ah-ha moments.  Wish they came more often.  In writing “Part Four: Show Time!” (about F’s delivery) I reminded myself of a sweet little moment that happened a few weeks before Freedom was born.  Then I wrote a few lines and never came back to it.  Well, here it is, finally fleshed out...

Those Silkies

Remember what the Birthday Fairy brought C this year? The parents kids have enjoyed them to no end, as you will see. Yes, Eagle won the binky war. For now, anyway. He started searching out small choking hazards and putting them in his mouth in absence of the pacifier… You understand. Added note:...

Taking it Easy

Taking it Easy

Sometimes the answer to “What should I do?” is more simple than we want to hear. Amidst all the clutter calling to screaming at me in the library/office, laundry room, and all the bedrooms upstairs, there’s a little voice telling me to “Maintain ground covered.  Slow down.” So that’s what I’m doing.  Sometimes I sneak in and...

To Comment or Not To Comment…

That's a very good question, and while we're thinking about comments, note: I used to live for comments here. Silly, isn't it? I've grown up a little. Now... I am happy to hear from you, but I am also happy to have you drop by, read a little, laugh a little, and move on quietly to whatever else you have to do. This is a guilt-free blog. ;)
