Does this make her look all dramatic?

Boy, are we all tired! More photos here.
I got up really late. Please don’t ask me what time it was, the only sign was that the sun was glaring right at me. “Get up, lazy bones!” it seemed to be saying. It didn’t know that I was up really late finishing up [...]

Gotta Love It When…

So today we had a teensy bit of a rough day. While most people won’t connect coloring markers with difficulty focusing, if you know the Feingold diet you know exactly what I’m talking about.
In spite of it all, and no doubt due to a prompting of the Holy Spirit, my NM apologized to me for [...]

~ I have completed another hat and went on to another. I also finished the back of a sweater today and hope to cast on for the front right and left sides. Last time, I did them separately and I think I got two different gauges. Doing the sleeves at [...]

Random Things

Hubby likes Warhammer a lot. We cancelled both WoW accounts.
Knitting mojo has disappeared. I tried to bring it back with another project but I left the needle hanging off my desk and puppeh chewed it into many little pieces. And then the mojo left me again.
Speaking of puppeh, the dog is firmly mama’s girl. I’ve [...]

Our Labor Day, ah, Labors

More photos here for you to oggle.
“Labors” of course, being an exaggeration at least for the adults. The boys and the dog? They were tired. No, make that one boy and the dog. NM says he wasn’t tired but was bored.
We tried to make it out by 9 am before it got too hot and [...]

Along with learning to master climbing up stairs, she’s climbing up furniture. In this case, it was by accident. Serves her right for trying to herd children who climb furniture!
Funny thing is, she absolutely refuses to go down. I think she has a fear of heights. The first time she went up [...]

Family Update

This week, J completed the last of his Get Ready, Get Set and Go For the Code books. We’re going to be going through the next part of the series. We also got Math-U-See Primer which sounds like it will be a piece of cake for him. That’s good: building proficiency will come later, we’re [...]

Busy Saturdays are the best because they make the weekends seem so much longer than they really are. Don’t you think?
This morning, the boys left me at church at the bright and early hour of 8 a.m. I volunteered to help make curtains to put up so that [...]

About a Dog

A little update on the cute puppeh:
This little girl is smart as can be. We got her a training collar and it only took a couple of minutes to get her to do what she need to do (watch the person walking her and pay attention to their feet).
I took her for her first walk [...]
