My desk
I was tagged by Beth for a what's on my desk meme. We have quite a few desks around here. There is a desk/vanity in the master bedroom that is mine. It has makeup, makeup mirror, a candle, a Shaker box full of tidbits… -
Tree house
Since you asked, that is a tree house in the snow picture. W. worked on it this past summer. He has more to do, like screening in the main area and building a real ladder, but it is safe and playable for now. … -
SNOW!
Our first of the season! Can you see the spots in the photo? They are BIG beautiful flakes! (note: that's all we got, it stopped about 2 minutes later -
WIP Wednesday
I have been knitting a lot the past few days. A lot of progress has been made thanks to help from my Ravelry friends. What a great forum! Here are some of the things I have been doing since last week. This first one… -
New concoction
Since my diet needs rearranging, I have been trying to come up with some different ideas for meals. I was thinking of meatloaf, but the red meat is not as healthy as white. I made one with ground sirloin for the boys. … -
Lost in yarn
Oh my! I have found my niche (well, for the moment anyway). I have to eat my words and say that I love knitting. Yes, you heard me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE knitting! It is so challenging and fun. I went to a yarn store on… -
Week in Review
This was a much better week in all respects! No doctor's appointments with lots of needles, no disease ridden children, no tantrums (oh wait, yeah, a couple of those did happen -- but not bad ones. I was pretty good! … -
Wordless Wednesday
(ps: it's Fun Dip) -
WIP Wednesday
This is a wash cloth for Adam. The boys really like using these wash clothes I have been making. I have slowed down considerably though. Life has gotten in the way of my knitting. How dare it! This is the mate … -
Radioactive
My FIL is having surgery today. He has cancer on a kidney. He had this on the other kidney a few years ago. They removed part of that one then. They will likely be removing the whole of the other kidney today. I ask… -
the cruds
Now we know what the hives are. Fifth Disease! Jake has it and it is pretty clear that's what it is. He has that slapped red cheek look and hives on his trunk now. Looks awful, but isn't so bad. He is a tad grumpy, … -
Week in Review
This was the kind of week you don't care to look back on and review. It was by and large really really crappy. Doctor's visits out the wazoo, colds, dentists, hives, bad attitudes, food induced grumpiness (for real!), … -
Sweet boys!
After a rocky week, the boys have outdone themselves! They were really apologetic for their attitudes lately and trying hard to make up for them. I must say, I don't mind the kissing up they are doing. Rather nice ind… -
I'm here
Did you think I fell off the face of the earth? Kind of felt like it. Busy weekend, crabby kids, crabby me, loads of fun. Let's see. I got some labs back and have high cholesterol. So they gave me 6 months until a r… -
Hug your kids
I went to the funeral home tonight. This shouldn't have happened. The 24 year old son of my kids soccer coach took his life this week. They are devastated. No words except hug yours extra tight tonight. -
Wacky Wednesday
What's that? One of these things just doesn't belong here! (ok, the cards need to go too) Let's zoom in to see what that is. Ahhh, socks on the wall. Socks on the wall? That just shouldn't be there at all!… -
Project for February
These are some pictures of the Lego room. It is a mess! It is now completely free of Legos. Over the weekend, we moved all the Legos out and into the toy room. The kids computer and the train table are now set up in … -
WIP Wednesday
Oops, this one is done!!!! But as it is part of a team, it is still considered a WIP. It is on Jake's foot in the pic. He has a big old foot! Some issues, but not bad overall for a first sock. -
More fun at the aquarium
I took about 250 pictures. Don't you love digital! The kids were getting kind of tired of my taking tons of the jellyfish though. But they were so magical and beautiful. I simply couldn't resist. So here are a few m… -
Injury update
We went to the ortho today and all is fine. No evidence of fracture. Growth plate looks fine. He can use his wrist as he feels but no gym activities for a bit. Swimming is fine. Yippee! Good news! He is happy to h… -
Math tip Monday
Adam is working on finding 10 more than and 10 less than with 3 digit numbers this morning. Most of them are easy. A few tricky ones have appeared like 301. Ten less than requires a whole new 100's digit. A bit trick… -
ER
Jake jumped (rather was preparing to jump) from a 4+ foot wall at a friends house yesterday when he tripped and landed with his wrist flexed. OUCH! He told me last night that he hurt the wrist but it didn't look off. … -
Project 2008 -- February
I need to change my project for this month. I originally said the cupboards, but other things necessitate a change. We ordered a king-sized mattress set. This means that several rooms have to be dealt with, purged, co…
