Surely I Can Count This As School Hours

Come on, working on the cube has to get some sort of schooling credits, doesn’t it? Oh well, good thing she’s only two and doesn’t need any credits yet.

John Boy

Do you know how difficult it is to catch a barn cat yawning?

We’ve been on a Disney kick lately. Grandma got the children the Lion King Soundtrack. Here is a shot of Hewitt “reading” the soundtrack booklet. And here is Greyden and Hewitt singing: They’re singing Hakuna Matata. It means no worries. That song is ok, and I don’t mind them singing it. There is one song…

Emery Loves Me

And he loves flowers. It’s a good combination.

Child Training

Every good mother knows that she can do all the children’s chores 10 times faster and 100 times better than they can. Case in point: But I have to constantly remind myself that being a good mom is about training my children to do things. It is not about doing it for them. That only leads…

The Running of the Bulls (I mean dolls)

Remember Indigo‘s doll, LaLa? Well, Indigo decided to go running with Lala. Now for most normal children, that would involve picking up Lala, and running. But not my children. No. For my children, it first involves attaching a belt to your waist. Then it requires attaching another belt to the doll. Like this: Then –…

Corn Cob Man

Farmer Frazier gives us lots of old corn. The children have to remove all the corn kernels so they can be fed to the animals. Emery got creative while shelling and made a face with hair: Can you see it?

Shower Girl

Indigo decided to join me in the shower. (No I didn’t get a photo of that) LOL! She had to wait for me to get dressed and she just looked so cute, I had to get a photo.

Autumn on the River

We were invited to be a vendor at Autumn on the River, a local festival in Bethlehem, Indiana. It was a beautiful weekend. Sunny and 60’s. The children had a great time. The National Guard was there with a climbing wall. Children 8 and over were allowed to climb it for free. Colter and Emery were…

Not Yet

Indigo came into the living room a couple of days ago from the direction of my bathroom. I don’t usually pay much attention to that as she is now potty trained and uses my bathroom all the time. However, I did notice something particularly peculiar about her, so I told her to come closer to…

So Why Does it Look So Bad?

So, what I want to know is, since my children love to clean the floor, why does it always look so horrid?

What a Chef!

I need to brag on Brett a little bit. She made homemade chicken pot pies for dinner. She made and rolled out the crust without any supervision. She also laid out the crusts and crimped them. I meant to get a photo of them before we started eating. But, what can I say? We were…

I Was Buzzed!

And no – it had nothing to do with alcohol – shame on you for even thinking it! LOL Many Children, Many Hugs was buzzed on The Mom Buzz. Here’s a link where you can check out the Many Children Many Hugs buzz. Here’s what The Mom Buzz has to say about herself: I’m Erin…

WHAT is That NOISE??!!

I heard this horrid screeching yesterday. I couldn’t imagine what the source was, and then I discovered this: You may ask, “Who is that?” That is my sweet daughter, Jade. You also may ask, “What is she doing?” I’ll tell you. She’s screaming into a really big funnel and broadcasting her screech throughout the house…

Sweet Potato Harvest

Here is a photo of this year’s sweet potato harvest. It’s about 150 pounds. Last year we grew 118 pounds. Normally we wait until two days before the first frost to dig up our sweet potatoes. But this year we’re going to be all over selling soap, so I thought we’d better harvest now before…
