This post was supposed to be all about the two day trip we took to the middle of the state to see all sorts of historical stuff as part of the overnight field trip for Ari’s Georgia history class. Instead, we were gone for less than 24 hours, and I only have one exciting tourist destination to show you. Ari … Continue reading
As I mentioned in my part one post, our main objective with Abe’s first birthday party was to get together with a few close friends and family and get a cute picture of Abe with frosting smeared all over his face. But I thought it would be also be adorable to take pictures of all the kids in a stovepipe … Continue reading
We finally had Abe’s repeatedly delayed first birthday party on Friday! Just a few close friends and family came over for presents and cupcakes. And, really, let’s be honest: getting this picture is what first birthday parties are all about, right? Never having been presented with an entire cupcake all his own before, Abe started out by delicately licking … Continue reading
I almost posted this on Wednesday, but as I was going through my fun in the snow pictures, there were still many, many people stuck in their cars out in the snow, having spent 5, 8, 10, 12 hours trying to get home. Kids and dogs frolicking in the snow seemed a little frivolous in light of all that. But … Continue reading
We are all finished with the tile! And when I say “all finished” I mean that we still have to do the grout and the sealant. So not really all finished. But the end is in sight! You know, having a blog can be really motivating when you’re trying to get stuff done. Because once you’re finished, you get to take … Continue reading
Awhile back I posted about Gus’ birthday party and my plans for it, and in that post I included all sorts of amazing inspiration pictures, and Gus’ party was going to be just like those. Well. Anyway, Gus had a lot of fun. First off, it was supposed to be an outside Doctor Who viewing party. Only the weather forecast called … Continue reading
I was planning to call this post, “A Tale of Two Christmas Trees,” but then Amber over at Wills Casa just wrote a post called “A Tale of Two Carraras,” so I thought I’d better go in a different direction. I ended up with a much more obscure literary reference. Anyone read The House Without a Christmas Tree? (that’s an affiliate link, … Continue reading
Click here to see how I later turned these dinosaurs into ornaments! Hope everyone (in the US)’s Thanksgiving was wonderful. We had and still have lots of family visiting, so we’re keeping busy. But I did have time to get both this project and this post done before December! When you tell people that you’re making a dinosaur Advent … Continue reading
(I got that cool reindeer image from The Graphics Fairy) I am just finishing up this year’s Advent calendar, and I hope to post about it….well, before December 1, anyway, which is better than last year, at least! We’re doing an activity a day just like we did last year, so I thought I’d post this year’s list. Using lessons … Continue reading
I’m pretty sure I’m the only one counting, but this is my fourth post in as many days. Yep. I’m pretty amazing. I was about to say I’ll have another one tomorrow, but my in-laws are coming into town tomorrow evening, so I’ll probably be madly cleaning instead of writing a post. Okay, so Abe is ten months old now, … Continue reading
