Just in case I thought I had my act together…
I knew we had a busy day ahead of us, and I wanted to make sure to vote before heading off for our monthly Keepers at Home meeting and three hours of band classes. I had two hours of one-on-one teaching time with two of my kids, and then decided to take my 11-year-old...
all dressed up
My kids were quite thrilled to perform the yearly ritual of getting all dressed-up and begging for candy trick-or-treating last week. Sabra loved having her buddy Rachel join us (the tallest girl in pajamas and robe). Our most unfortunate costuming decision was...
Oh, happy day!
Last Sunday, our precious little Clayton went forward and joined the church. He talked to us about joining a few months ago, but never did. The night before he joined, he started talking about it again. I asked him all the things I knew our pastor would ask, and was...
thoughts and observations from the road: our 1,500 mile weekend
Saturday morning my husband, Lily, and I rode 750 miles with my mother-in-law to pick up two cars and drive them back home with us on Sunday. Saturday was a sweet set-up for me: I brought a bed tray (with legs, like you'd use for eating breakfast in bed) which I used...
yet another blogthings

And the winner is…
not us. Code Yellow Mom won the Super Happy Girl; however, we were awarded Honorable Mention and the lovely unique SHG graphic on the left, which we are displaying with pride in our home on our blog. Thanks, No Cool Story, for this bit of family entertainment!
and the suspense builds…
Once while visiting Code Yellow Mom, I noticed a blog called "More Cowbell" just above my link in her "Meet the Faves" section. Somehow, I had never seen or heard of the "more cowbell" SNL skit until Gail posted the video on her blog a couple of months ago. Since then...
you can’t see the paper for the trees
Me, observing the site of a future shopping center: Wow! They've really cut down a lot of trees! Drama Queen: They must have needed some paper.
New Holiday Look!
I've been itching to play with my template ever since I finished Doris's, but I just hadn't found the look I was after. I wore a powder blue sweater yesterday that had been my mother's. For some reason that sweater particularly inspired me, and I've worked around that...
