February arrived with more light and longer days–so happy to turn the page on that calendar. Tim had an eye doctor appointment, and this kid is a bit rambunctious for that office, but Heather was happy to stay with her. Heather is creative in entertaining her, and as long as they’re safe, that’s all I […]

Potato salad, two kinds, and ribs and sloppy joes on a Sunday afternoon–pretty nice. This game was a gift and quite a hit. Spin the toilet paper, which tells you how many times to flush the toilet. At random points, the toilet squirts the player in the face. Good times. Cake time! I was busy
Jay went to Stillwater for basketball, took the little girl her birthday gift. I had to stay home because we had this situation going on. Julia asked to re-do her room. Maria did, back in the day. Kari re-painted hers this winter, could she also? So last weekend we went shopping and started with the
This is a big deal for Cub Scouts, and it went very well. This is a small Cub Scout pack at their small school–everyone knows each other. Those beautiful cars were so much work to create, as well as trying to involve the kids so they feel ownership of the creation. They were sick, including
Happy Birthday, indeed. It was a gorgeous, warm, sunny day, just absolutely perfect. In the evening we opened a few gifts: With the teeth, always the dramatic performance to amuse the children.

It’s been a mess today, but schools closed early and everyone was prepared to cut the day short and get off the roads. These are pictures from the weekend, rowdies kicking it up on my bed. Saturday night we went to a Housewarming Party at these people’s house. It was so fun to see their
It was gorgeous today. After weeks of deep cold, this warm weather and sun were incredibly welcome. She’s working her toys. That big one on her lap was Kari’s. Guess we’ve got our use out of that. Here she’s playing in the doll corner, taking care of babies. The duplo blocks were grubby as heck,

This week it’s been very cold again. Jay goes back and forth all bundled up. Some of the construction projects he’s working on are outdoors, so he’s been doing service calls instead–will get back to those when it’s warmer. But it’s warm inside the house and we spend the day taking care of these two.
This cute little matching outfit set was bought in October as a Christmas gift for another little granddaughter, but it didn’t fit–too narrow in the shoulders, not the least bit of stretch in flannel, and she didn’t care much about the doll’s outfit, so they left it here. After Christmas I went online and ordered

After Julia’s orthodontist appointment we went to my parents for lunch. We didn’t know it, but the little girl on the couch asleep was coming down with strep throat, just like her sister and two other cousins. But we ate, and played with toys, and eventually this fine nap finished out the afternoon. Now they’re
