Santa has come and gone, the ham has been eaten, and the living room is a wasteland of paper and boxes. MechDaddy and GoGoGirl are napping together while KarateKid chills out watching the Stooges. As I started to flip through the pictures of the grand present-opening, I was struck by how well Santa [...]
Our life has been so busy, and so beautiful, lately, that I haven’t taken the time to blog it. I’m trying to throw together a quick recap post tonight before even more beautiful things distract me further!
In just the past two days – two little days! – the kids and I have gone to:
a local [...]
A twelve-pound package came this morning from Pappy and Nita, and the kids delighted in opening it and finding the treasures.
Normally I share just a few pictures. Today I had to use a slideshow, because I was so amused that there’s something the same about all the pictures. Once the box is open, JediBoy explores [...]
I have been mostly absent from the online world for the past week… for good reason! Thursday my family arrived to visit, Friday was JediBoy’s 7th birthday and on Saturday we had a huge, rained-out-into-the-living-room God Party. PisecoSis just left for home this morning so we’re slipping back into our usual routine today.
I hope to [...]
First, thanks to all of you who have continued to leave comments, send emails or deliver pokes on Facebook. As each day passes, our grief lessens. We will have a hard time of it when we head up to Piseco for the summer, but for now we are returning to some kind of normal.
And for [...]
The kids were delighted when the postman rang the bell and delivered a big box o’ fun from Pappy and Nita today! (I would have joined in their delight except that I’d gotten up early so PisecoDad could take me in for blood work before he had to work, and I had the kids settled [...]
On Wednesday I posted a picture that showed the beginning of our Lego sorting journey… finally today we are nearly done… PisecoDad just confessed that he was working on sorting upstairs while watching Serenity last night and left two buckets upstairs! Here are most of our upstairs Legos…
That’s a 6 year old boy lying there… [...]
I had a very unusual shopping list today, you see!
An idea had been rumbling, as such vague ideas often do, that JediBoy would be more inclined to practice his multiplication facts if the practice were more physical. I had made a board game, which he does enjoy, and we practice orally, on the blackboard, in [...]
Last week, JediBoy and I were looking at some games online and decided to order one for one of our friends too – but as a surprise. She got her happy package last night, and in today’s mail were two small packages of treats for JediBoy and BabyGirl from Pappy and Nita. That’s happy-surprise-karma!
I have [...]
You all know that JediBoy was ecstatic about his three fabulous Clone Wars Lego sets at Christmas. But the other two gifts he’s holding most dear are from Alia and Jer… who each, independently, decided that 6 1/2 is the perfect age for a boy’s first pocket knife. Alia sent a neat trail [...]
