I was going to post about what a great mom I am. After all, the kids have a neighbor friend over and I’m barbecuing burgers. Dan’s not home yet, but I’ve got it all under control.
Ummmm… not.
We just came in from outside where I was able to do a lot of weeding while [...]

I feel like it’s been a year since I last posted. And, it hasn’t been for lack of material. It’s just that the past week was spring break (a.k.a. Torture Your Mother Week). The kids have been out of sync and there hasn’t been much time for blogging. Also, I had [...]

Oh, the drama of it all!
If you talked to Dan or me yesterday, you know that we were SO EXCITED because it looked very much like the whole transfer policy was being put on a 6-month delay.  It may not sound that great until you learn that we can ask for a hardship delay in [...]

I meant to post this a little earlier so you could all try it with your kids if you were so inclined. Sorry. You can either wake them all up and do it tonight (if you’re crazy), or wait until next year.

I can’t help myself. I am so stinkin’ proud of Jack. His homework for the week included drawing a picture and writing a sentence about it. Here is what he did:

A year ago he was just learning to write his name and his pictures pretty much looked like blobs. Then this [...]

It pains me to do this. Really. I’m sure, though, that it pains Kristina more. (Please don’t hate me!) However, I can’t help myself. I have my computer screen saver set on a slide show of all the pictures stored on my computer. Last time some of these came [...]

Last night at the dinner table:
Jack sat with his class of milk pressed against his forehead, trying to look through it.
Sam, our little artist, finger painted with his ranch dressing.
Maria whipped her head back and forth repeatedly, hair flying, giggling all the while.
Luke, apparently not hungry (for the first time in his life), fed the [...]

Yesterday after picking up Jack, we all headed to the drugstore where kids’ sunglasses are on sale.
Usually the kids turn away from the camera, but I guess hiding their eyes gave them a new confidence. Or something.

To see more in the series (’cause you know there’s always a series) plus some pics from Luke’s [...]
