Transitional Discomfort
I was going to title this post “Transitional Angst” but that’s a bit dramatic. K is hitting the frustrating spot between toddlerhood and preschoolerness – potty doesn’t click, she has to learn to wait patiently, or at least not scream Continue reading Transitional Discomfort
Saturday Walk
K was fine with walking behind her brothers, until she saw how far ahead they’d gotten. I wondered if these tracks were chipmonk or mouse DH was so hot when we were done hiking out, because K fell asleep on Continue reading Saturday Walk
Let us eat popcorn
M is on a temporary 8 weeks with no orthodontia anything glued to his teeth. B has made 3 batches of peanut brittle since last Thursday, and today I popped the rest of the strawberry popcorn the boys grew two Continue reading Let us eat popcorn
Brain Dump Day
I just needed to write lists today…I used one of K’s big pieces of construction paper, so that my lists could spill sideways and make more lists. Usually my brain dump days start at 4AM when I wake up worried, Continue reading Brain Dump Day
Lateral Cable! lots of links and attributions
I’m so delighted, I’m giddy. I’ve just learned two ways to make what appears to be a horizontal line of knit stitches: Dragoncrafter’s way ( by way of Sharon Winsauer who attributes it to Margaret Stove. In her book, Margaret Continue reading Lateral Cable! lots of links and attributions

Showing off at the Grocery Store
I realized that the chocolate had never left it’s spot in the grocery cart. Checking the receipt, I’d never paid for it. I dragged K and M back into the store from the car, happy I’d found some cash in Continue reading Showing off at the Grocery Store
Anticipatory Disarray
B is finishing his part of the poster, and occasionally tweaking the robot program, when he’s not daydreaming. The F.I.R.S.T Lego League Tournament in RI is tomorrow. DH is a bit frazzled, I found a To-Do List with what I Continue reading Anticipatory Disarray
Ah the Modern Life
This morning we woke to the sound of our neighborhood transformer failing. I drowsed a bit, then realized that no electricity meant no coffee, and no computer! We enjoyed our cheerios and milk, I took a bath while the hot Continue reading Ah the Modern Life
A Pleasant set of Three
Today we found my missing keys, K’s lost pink mitten (the one that doesn’t scratch, or fall off her wrist – I didn’t knit it) and the missing history of Geometry book. Now has anyone seen B’s library card?
