Lots of floor hockey today, with the new set Pappy and Nita brought…
Terrific building of “weirdos” too – a stormtrooper with a gun and a coffee pot, a construction worker with a chef’s hat and bow-and-arrow, a swarming army of action figure and minifig misfits. The kids, though still sick, had a wonderful day of [...]
The kids had a great day, being treated to Sesame Street Live, the Chinese buffet, and movies at Aunt T. and Uncle M.’s house. PisecoDad and I had a great day, knowing the kids were having a ball without us! We mostly just hung about, talking over things we should do – laundry, shopping, clearing [...]
Our mini-staycation continues… PisecoDad was home again and we played, read and even cleaned, a little. JediBoy has been enjoying a new puzzle/game called Pete’s Pike, as well as a bag of books from Freecycle – don’t tell CPSIA! They are mostly from the 50’s and 60’s, lovely hardcover children’s editions of Tom Sawyer, the [...]
My boys – ages 6 1/2 and 33 – spent almost the entire glorious day on the Wii. PisecoDad had asked for a couple games and JediBoy picked him out a couple more. They’ve been having such a good, zombie time that they haven’t even broken into the new HeroScape sets that were unwrapped this [...]
Apparently the nice gentleman helping us pick out our new eyeglass frames doesn’t often get a family like ours.
First, he politely said to JediBoy, “Ah, I see you have a Pokemon book there.”
Twenty minute monologue on Pokemon.
Then, he was helping PisecoDad who had a squirmy BabyGirl on his lap. She announced, loudly, that she was [...]
We had a delightful day today.
First, we went to a Theatreworks production of Junie B. Jones. JediBoy is a huge fan of the Junie B. books and BabyGirl is a huge fan of any stage show, especially where music is involved, so they were a perfect audience. The hour long production was cute & musical [...]
BabyGirl can now say L’s in the middle of some words – an overnight development – today she says yeLLow with her tongue coming out of her mouth in delicious joy. She still says she “wuvs” me but that too will fade. Why is it that mothers worry about development – when will he walk? [...]
I see all the fun posts about homeschooling families, especially those who use a program like Sonlight, having Box Day where the next year’s curriculum arrives all at once in several giant boxes, and the day is spent sorting it and perusing it. Box Day looks like such a thrill, but we’re not a big-box-curriculum [...]
-On the way to Heather’s house, about halfway there, JediBoy announces: “I think I will just meditate the rest of the way.“ He does, too.
-Reading a book about farm animals (that we’ve read every day in recent memory), I point to a cow. “What is this, Baby?” “Moo.“ I point to a horse. “What is [...]
I don’t know why I never thought of that.
In case you’ve forgotten, or are a new bloggy friend, let me make this clear: BabyGirl is allergic to pineapple.
Not deathly allergic, not even very allergic. Just facial hives and diaper rash allergic, and she doesn’t even complain. This is the first time she’s had any pineapple [...]
