Sewing Queens

These girls have been obsessed with sewing ever since we did the "weekend of the piggies." And Sophie wanted to sew a penguin. So we made it up as we went......


 and Voila! Penguin

Relaxing at the park

Well, some of us relaxed. 
For the WWII class I teach in our commonwealth, I took the boys to the park to run around with a 50lb. pack- over tables, weaving around trees, circling a pavilion, dodging kids, & going under a bridge. It was entertaining. This is Austin's happy face, right? 

I lounged in the grass & helped Sophie into trees.

Cone of shame

George wouldn't stop licking a sore on his foot, so it got an infection & now he has to wear the cone of shame so it will get better. 

Everyone is laughing at poor George.

Attentive audience


Our microwave died.
We lived without it for a week.
It was replaced to much cheering.

Yee-Haw!

While Kurt & Nyah were on their road trip, the rest of us took a day trip to Logan to see my sisters & their families. It was a beautiful (and cold) day and we had tons of fun.

Artsy Girls

I love my creative girls! I love their art style and passion and messes. Ok, maybe not the messes exactly, but I love how they aren't afraid to get messy. 


Acrylic paints: Sophie's are the 3 in the column on the right. Jolie's are the 2 in the middle of the bottom row. Olivia did the rest.

Chalk pastels: inspired by The Lorax.

Markers: plans for our garden this year

Where is tall man?

Where is tall man?
Here I am.
Here I am.
How are you today sir?

I'm sick with an infection and it's causing intense pain and I must be taken to the hospital so I can get some shots and a needle shoved up my skin to relieve the pressure. 

And I will act loopy and jittery and make my mom & the doctor worry I'm going to faint when really I just guzzled a Dr. Pepper and I'm on a caffeine high.


Oy. Kids.
