I had this idea that I was going to do one more grand Halloween post and be done with it. But then I started thinking about all that said post would entail, and it sounded really….long. So today you get the last of the pumpkins–specifically our trip to the pumpkin patch plus the big pumpkin carving–and then this weekend I’ll … Continue reading
I love Sandra Boynton. “But Not the Hippopotamus” is kind of a tragic book, though. Imagine if you could really only do things your name rhymed with. None of our names rhyme with fair, but we went anyway! We haven’t been to the fair with the kids since we’ve lived here. In fact, I can only remember ever having been … Continue reading
Ari’s taking a Georgia history class this year at our local homeschool center, and the class includes lots and lots of field trips (to which parents and siblings are invited). He’s actually off on one right now, but the rest of us are having to miss that one owing to some snotty miserableness in certain small members of our family. … Continue reading
Seven months! I think I’ve officially abandoned his white t-shirt AND using his nursery as the default photo shoot location. It was cloudy again, and it’s much easier to get decent light in the sunroom. His six month check-up happened after I did his six month post, so his stats from that, for posterity (because this is the closet thing … Continue reading
Dave is still working on his massively detailed post on how to build a farmhouse table. And I have a small project to write about, but the weather is not cooperating for taking pictures. So here’s a catch up post with a bunch of little things that don’t need their own posts but that I want to tell everyone about … Continue reading
I know we’re probably all pretty nostalgic for my summer Disney series that I finished last week ;), so I thought I’d ease you back into the whole boring fall routine (I know it’s still firmly summer for a lot of you, but Dave went back to work last week, so it’s fall to us) with one more summer travel … Continue reading
A bit late, but here it is: the LAST installment of my summer Disney series. Once you’re there, you’re going to have to eat, right? This (like pretty much everything Disney) can be an overwhelming topic. I spent much time thinking about how to organize this post (maybe THAT’S why it’s a week late!) and have finally settled on the … Continue reading
In impossible to believe news, Abe is already six months old. Just a few months ago, he looked like this: Now he sits up all the time, he has TWO TEETH (which I did not manage to get a picture of today), and he’s busting out of that white t-shirt he’s been wearing since his newborn pictures. In fact, we … Continue reading
I know that four kids is nothing compared to what some people have, but, for Disney purposes, anything other than your standard two adults and two kids means you have to do a little extra planning. Mostly when it comes to picking a hotel room. So I’ll focus primarily on that and then toss in a few extra thoughts about … Continue reading
We were supposed to see fireworks Wednesday AND Thursday nights. But then it rained. A lot. For forever. So we didn’t see any. We could hear them from our house, though. Which is, I suppose, something. Here was our alternate plan for a rainy 4th: 1. Make cookie cake2. Take pictures of baby in red, white, and blue outfit3. Have … Continue reading
