Bastien has been in preschool for four months now. He goes two half days per week. And despite the many changes the school has made to make him feel most welcome, he almost always puts up a huge stinking fight … Continue reading
In the event that you thought pirates didn’t wear tutus, you’ve now been proven wrong.
This Funtime Friday brings us to a pretty cool nature center, nearly in our own backyard. Bastien’s pick. First time here. So much to explore…
This is how Hadley winks. It’s freakin’ adorable (in case you couldn’t tell).
If you’re a long-time reader, or my friend on FB, this is nothing new. And even though I’ve done it a handful of times, I always forget about what a hit the Muffin Tin Dinner is in this house. Tonight … Continue reading
To see just what a difference 10 months will make, step into my time machine. Apparently, the secret to rapid hair growth is nothing but a steady diet of Mac ‘N Cheese and chocolate.
I always love and appreciate the bright slices of sunshine that pierce our rooms this time of year. As do these two. If only we were all such compliant share-ers of scarce resources, eh?
Today’s Funtime brings us to what we call The Bounce Place. Not new to us, but running barefoot for miles is a treat for sure on a ten degree day. Here we are in realtime…
Amidst my recent trial at spontaneous blogging, I bet you panicked that you’d never see Jim’s beautiful photography here again, huh? Well, surprise! Here it is. Feast your eyes on last weekend’s sleigh ride. Kensington’s first of the year. And … Continue reading
Just now, for the first time in 4 1/2 weeks, I have been assigned work of the paying variety. To celebrate, Bastien is enjoying popcorn. On the couch. In front of Babe, Pig In The City. (Which I am banking … Continue reading
Shift of nightstand. Great big dog. Teeny. Tiny. Cat bed.
Right after feeding the horses (and certain young ones helping themselves to the rotting apples), Mazzy wanted to play frisbee. Then Bastien wanted to blow bubbles. Which he quickly ditched in exchange for some time with the sandbox. Then there … Continue reading
It’s Freezer Meal Xchange Day! It’s Freezer Meal Xchange Day! Going out: Chive Risotto Cakes and Vegetable and Rice Soup. Coming in: Vegetable Pot Pie, Squash Soup, Curried Lentils and Split Pea Soup. Oh, my happy belly.
Bastien is discovering “what’s in his head”. And here he is “seeing Courtney”.
This Funtime Friday takes us to Ohio to visit cousins. Here we are in realtime. Have a sweet weekend!
My new solace? The stove clock, which I set to count down the hours till bedtime. In the days of naplessness, it’s like free therapy, providing me a reminder of the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope … Continue reading
As I continue to dig through our 2010 video archives, I stumbled upon this prime example of why Dad should not be allowed to leave the premises for days at a time. Who’s going to do the nightly Baby Toss? … Continue reading
I can not make any promises this week, people. I have just finished sitting on a freezing gymnasium floor for 20 hours split between a mere two days. Learning anatomy. My husband will be out of state for the next … Continue reading
Here’s what we did this Funtime Friday…in realtime! Wishing YOU an amazing weekend! Love, TheJLBs
Inspired a little by this guy I’m making extra effort this winter to get out there and treat my kiddos to a little extra fun on Fridays. It’s one of our very few unstructured days of the week after all. … Continue reading
I like resolutions mostly because I’m a compulsive goal-setter. So this year my resolutions are as follows… *Log 365 miles on the Nike+ (this is a retry since this year I came up 6 miles short – even though I … Continue reading
Here’s one of the hidden photos taken in the last quarter of 2010. Christmas surprises must be kept, well, a surprise after all. This day was ridiculous, with cooperation from just about none of the kids. So this picture is … Continue reading
Here’s our Jo. We try to keep her top secret usually. Only because she’s the best Jo around. You will never find a better Jo. So you see, if we spilled the beans, someone might steal her away. But alas, … Continue reading
Out with the old… In with the new… A two-take wonder. Here’s hoping the rest of the year goes as smoothly.
