Since I am traveling and am on super fast internet, I thought I’d upload a bunch of pictures from a recent harvest party. Me and Indigo: Brett and Emery and friends on a hayride: Fletcher with a gun (aren’t guns essential hayride equipment?) on the hayride: Jim, Hewitt, and Me on another hayride (do you […]
Jade was getting her molars when I took this photo. She was a bit fussy and just wanted to be with her Daddy. Jim did a good job getting her to sleep. I think he almost got himself to sleep too.
One of the children was cutting up some food for Jade. Jade needed some more, so the person (who shall remain nameless because he/she feels terrible about it) left the knife on the table. Before the child returned, Jade had picked up the knife and cut the palm of her hand. It was a pretty […]
So, what I want to know is, since my children love to clean the floor, why does it always look so horrid?
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 […]
About 2 am the other night, Jade started crying. I let her cry for a bit and then gave up. I got out of bed and got her a drink. She gulped the whole thing down so I gave her a kiss and went back to bed. The moment I laid down, she started crying […]
The children play outside a lot. For the most part they play really well together. The other day I went outside to check on them and discovered this: Yes, that’s Indigo inside a rabbit cage (no there’s no rabbit in there). Now, I must clarify. When I went outside, what I initially found was Hewitt, […]
Just had to share a Jade photo. She’s growing up so fast!
Grandma came for a visit in July. Here she is with the girls. Grandma slept in the “big, big bed” with Indigo. When Grandma went home, Indigo cried because she wanted to sleep with Grandma. Brett told Indigo that Grandma needed to sleep with Poppy. Indigo decided that Poppy needed to sleep by himself, Grandma […]
We were enjoying a baked potato feast with lots of different toppings. Jade, however, decided to forego the potato in favor of just the black beans: Makes you just want to give her a big hug and kiss, doesn’t it?
I was recently reminded that my youngest child often gets overlooked in the photo department. She’s very cute, but she definitely doesn’t demand attention like the older children. So far, she’s pretty mellow. But she is crawling now, so she’s going to start getting into heaps of trouble, I’m sure. Here she is in her […]
Have you seen that thing that goes around the internet about multiple children? It goes something like this: First child: you boil and sterilize the pacifier Second child: you wash the pacifier under running water Third child: you wipe the pacifier off on your sleeve People are always sending me stuff like that (I can’t […]
You would think that with 8 children, they would have covered it all by now. But nope, they keep coming up with new things. Out of my first seven children, I had 2 pacifier babies, 4 thumb suckers, and 1 bottom lip sucker. I wondered what Jade would do. I had hoped she’d be a […]
