Okay so I am way, way, way, behind on all sorts of personal blog related things as my busy season is still busy. I’m finishing up edits and packaging orders. However, I continue to bookmark things that I’d like to return to later when life gets a little slower after the holidays…. thought maybe it […]

Halloween 2010
This year the kids were so excited for Halloween in fact Nora has been asking about it for months. I snapped a few pictures on the way to our friends for trick or treating. Everyone was so excited to go that no one realize that we left Harry’s glasses at home. Oh well, he was […]

Library Card
This weekend we while jrh was off doing the Bike the Barns ride, I took the kids to the library. Up until now we’ve just used our library card to check out books for the kids, but now that Ben is in first grade he needed his own. You see though his school has a small library, they purposely limit […]
First Day of School
It seems like everyone these days is blogging things like “I can’t believe my kids is a __ grader”.

I don’t know if he really appreciates the change […]

Mud Milk
This morning the kids were excited to go outside to play with some little plastic squirters that they found in the garage. I filled them up and sent them outside to play in the yard. I thought that they would be bored with them in about 10 minutes – I didn’t even bother to tell […]
Strawberry picking
I have been wanting to pick strawberries for several years. Events and weather have conspired to make that impossible. This year we had to be out of the house on Sunday morning during the inspection, and that in combination with the fact that it was my birthday weekend, meant I got to steer what we […]
Habitat for Sanity: The final chapter
When I first introduced the Habitat for Sanity project I wrote about how I really missed our old house and how there were a lot of things that I didn’t like about our current house. We worked our butts off and by the end of the project the house was looking pretty good. Which is […]

Ben is in kindergarden this year; however, in Montessori they call it extended day. The primary classroom consists of children ages 3-6. Everyone works together in the morning for an uninterrupted work period of three hours but only those in their kindergarden year remain in the classroom with their teacher after lunch. This smaller group […]
