It was a busy week with the boys home sick from school sick most of it! Both boys got bad colds, Ethan’s was much worse but Ben had a bad ear infection too. Somehow the girls both stayed healthy though! I tried to keep them quiet so they could rest but Ethan got super Halloween [...]
Oooh things have been crazy around here lately! I am blaming my lack of blogging on the craziness AND the fact that our Mac was out of commission (John had to operate on it and install a new hard drive). I have been focusing my energy on trying to get the house in order but [...]
I have mixed emotions about school today but all in all the first day went fairly well. When John and I dropped them off Ben was excited and Ethan wasn’t and that’s pretty much how they felt after school too. Ethan takes awhile to adjust to the start of the year and he reacted to [...]
We own 2 vacuums that totally suck in a BAD way. One is 10 years old and the other is only 2 years old but both belong in a landfill. I had researched the newer one and thought it was perfect for us (it was what I asked for for Mother’s Day) but I am [...]
We just got 3 new chickens yesterday: 2 Salmon Faverolle Bantams and 1 Cuckoo Maran. Our Ameraucana Chickie-Poo is no longer alone! We are keeping all 4 confined to the coop/pen for now and we plan on moving the entire coop to the other side of the house and giving them a bigger fenced in [...]
So much for having free-range chickens! Yesterday morning I heard Hen get killed by what I’m guessing was a hawk. Its so sad since these birds turned out to be so friendly, comical, cute and lovable. Our chickens let us pick them up and pet them and they have the softest feathers. They were really [...]
I am in a funk at the moment! I have lots of great product reviews and other stuff to blog about and I want to get those posts up here ASAP but I can’t seem to get my act together lately. There is no one big HORRIBLE thing going on but I am just feeling [...]
I am going to take some time to do nothing for at least today! With the busy end of the school year over, company gone and the big living painting just finished yesterday (well minus the baseboards), I am thinking we need to schedule some days with absolutely nothing. We will have to prep for [...]
Ethan came up with this project all on his own by arranging his silly bandz behind his paper and doing crayon rubbings! He made it a “puzzle” for Jamie, he wanted her to match up the silly bandz to the ones on his paper. I think Silly Bandz art is a great idea since when [...]
Well I have been wanting to do a freezer paper stencil for awhile now but I just got around to buying the freezer paper last week. Then I needed to decide on something to stencil on some of my boys’ shirts…. I did some googling of “lego guys” and found this flickr picture. Thought it [...]
