Its been so cold here lately and my poor chickens aren’t loving it! Some days they don’t venture out of their little house but I don’t know how much warmer they are in there. We have 2 red heat lights in it but their water still freezes. 4 of the birds were brave enought to [...]
My sister in law recently asked if I really like the products I review here and I just wanted to answer that before this review. The answer is YES because I am picky about what I say yes to review and also because if I do get something and it disappoints me I just don’t [...]
Its been offical for a little while now that we have our first left handed child! My mom and dad and John’s aunt are lefties but I think that is all until Jamie. Not only does she paint left-handed but she uses 3 brushes at once. I thought I’d give her the chance to have [...]
John has been posting WITHOUT PICTURES! I needed to add some to make up for it. The girls don’t mind me taking pictures of them (Ben doesn’t mind usually but Ethan has had enough). I was actually just trying to get pictures of Jillian alone with her cute new cupcake onesie from Aunt Kate and [...]
“What in the Gods is this?” -Ben’s reaction to dinner last night. No idea where he picked up that phrase. “Oh pickles!” – Ethan’s new favorite phrase whenever he gets mad. Learned this one from a friend. “You’re my little girl” – What Jamie just said to me when she crawled into my lap while [...]
In 2 weeks Ethan and I are going to the dentist for a cleaning. Our last trip, in July, did not go well. In fact, it was one of those horrible, embarrassing parenting moments where you just apologize to everyone and leave so fast you forget to pay. Ethan’s other trips to the dentist went [...]
I love the words that kids create for things. I’ve been trying to keep track of all the things our boys have said, but I know I’ve forgotten some and I want to make sure I don’t forget anymore. Kneebow pads – shin guards Canyon Balls – cannon balls Turbets – turrets (from playing Spore [...]
I’ve been really slacking off the blogging, partly because I’ve been spending a lot of time replying to ice rink comments, but also I’m just out of practice. Blogging is such a strange experience. When you start it is exciting and you are full of ideas. After awhile it can get a little tiresome and [...]
Nothing horrible has happened today but I’m just in a funk and feeling inadequate. Some days I feel close to together and I recall feeling close to supermom occasionally when I only had 3 kids but boy do I feel super far from supermom today! Thats all for now, don’t want to drift too far [...]
We have been busy enjoying the holidays and so I haven’t been blogging much. I wanted to share these cookies the boys and I have been making since its still snowman time and these aren’t just for the holidays. We made them for Ethan’s kindergarten class and on Christmas eve and I plan to make [...]
