He’s such a boy
Posted on February 27th, 2009 by kimc
I was downloading pictures of our pups and came across this one from the other night. I love it. He’s so boy.

Ice, Ice Baby
Posted on February 25th, 2009 by Kittykait
Today Becca gave Bethy a piece of ice to play with and she loved it! I couldn’t help but take pictures. You think that’s a good thing but when I (or anyone) take pictures of her I go crazy! After I narrowed them down there were 75, but don’t worry I’m only posting 13 [...]

Pics from our trip.
Posted on February 25th, 2009 by Deanna
We just went on a weekend visit up to Oklahoma to see my mom’s family, and while we were there we went to the park.
Even though she is scared of heights, I was able to get my best friend/aunt Briana a whole 6 feet off the ground on the jungle gym. (and just so you [...]

I went to IKEA
Posted on February 25th, 2009 by kimc
Does that make me a bad person? IKEA is like the ultimate Stuff-Mart. Walmart just went down about a thousand notches, as did Hobby Lobby. Maybe that’s a good thing. I’m not likely to just pop into IKEA once a week. It will be much harder for me to carve out 5 hours for the [...]

My dignity is saved by my crazy gypsy skirt
Posted on February 22nd, 2009 by kimc
Today we visited my parents’ church for the first time. We arrived early – a trick we need to perform more often – and occupied the back two rows. Dad is working out of town, so with Mom and my 5 youngest sibs we made 17 heads in all.
A few minutes into the sermon, Bethany [...]

The real story
Posted on February 21st, 2009 by kimc
Did you figure it out?
I’m sure you got close, at least. We’re in Oklahoma, visiting my family. The younger ones didn’t figure out what we were up to until we pulled into the driveway at 4 AM. Apparently in their world, it’s not unusual to drive 9 hours when going out to dinner. They didn’t [...]

Playing an old trick on new kids
Posted on February 20th, 2009 by kimc
The cover story: we’re picking up Dad after work and going out to dinner. The real story? Only those who have figured it out on their own know. They are all 9yo and up. The big girls put us up to it this time.
CURRENT Q & A:
Why are we taking suitcases?
It’s part of the recent [...]

Good links I want to find again someday when I go looking for them
Posted on February 20th, 2009 by kimc
Building Blocks Cakes from Betty Crocker look just like legos and you can make them from a 9 x 13. Depending on which reviews you believe, it’s either a cinch or you’ll want to throw it on the floor halfway through the process. But either way, the kids will unanimously love it, assuming you didn’t [...]

In which I FINALLY quit procrastinating
Posted on February 19th, 2009 by Deanna
I have had four yards of beautiful fabric sitting in my drawer for several months now waiting to be made into a skirt. Part of the reason it has taken me so long to use it is because I couldn’t find a pattern I liked, and part was that I didn’t feel like taking the [...]
