K is my girl. Give her a bunch of raw materials (paper, recycling stuff before I can take it out, old beads…and a LOT of glue) and she will make more stuff than I can easily store. Miss Jamie at Continue reading K and Paper

Missing first syllable
K: Momma, I love ‘rades. By the library. Me, shaking away visions of vikings attacking the library front steps: K, what do you mean by ‘rades? K: They give you candy, and a flag of your own to wave. I Continue reading Missing first syllable
Saturday Morning with the Girls
The Lego Club has one or two more meetings until the Expo. Since Dan is coaching, my main job is taking the young siblings out so they don’t get into the older sibling’s Settlers of Catan game, or the actual Continue reading Saturday Morning with the Girls
K’s Projects
Yesterday I gave K the alphabet cookie cutters with her play dough. She was so excited that she used them as models for cutting letters out of paper. I bought her a ream of paper Tuesday, unfortunately, it’s hard for Continue reading K’s Projects
List of Now
Last night K told me the Easter story, but mostly wanted to know why the tower of Babel wouldn’t work if Jesus ascended to Heaven bodily. That kind of makes it like a place you could climb to bodily. She’d Continue reading List of Now
Looking for a needle in a lawn (literally.)
K got a splinter in her hand during lunch, the picnic tables are a bit coarse. Note to self: pack a cloth for next week. As I tried to get the splinter out with my Specially Ordered Japanese Darning Needle Continue reading Looking for a needle in a lawn (literally.)
I was bad – but the pdf draft is done

Are we caught up on laundry yet?
K was sick last night, stomach flu of some sort. That explains her clingy/demanding yesterday. She reminded me (politely!) that we were going to do the rainforest puzzle together after breakfast, and she put a few of the pieces in Continue reading Are we caught up on laundry yet?
{p,f,h,r} Pizza Party
If there is one thing that makes my Mother in law happy, it’s teaching children how to cook. Last Saturday she tried out a new dough with B, K, M and the neighbor kids. She also discovered that two pizza Continue reading {p,f,h,r} Pizza Party
{p,f,h,r}Library Butterfly
The guys were on a quest to fix the church’s coffee pot. It involved ordering parts from the internet and going to the store for wrenches (they checked Grandma’s basement first.) M thought the exploded diagram of the valves was Continue reading {p,f,h,r}Library Butterfly
{p,f,h,r} Week of Fancy Birthday Food
K turned 4 this Valentine’s Day. She thinks stripes are pretty on her new shirt, but more important, they tickle Daddy’s eyes by making him see optical illusions. And when they don’t, she dances really fast to help them out. Continue reading {p,f,h,r} Week of Fancy Birthday Food
