Okay, first I took this sweet picture of my girls. We’re having such a peaceful Sunday around the house, and the sun is finally shining after about a year and a half of gloom and rain. Tim was there, and I said, “You be in the picture too.” He ran over. And that little honey […]

That’s how hot it is here! Crazy. Julia wanted to go to the little pool, but that’s not open yet. We had to manage with the sprinkler instead. This weekend Jay got the a/c going. We don’t have central air. It’s incompatible with the boiler and radiator system, but we do have window air conditioners.
Tim’s room is done! Finally! We pulled it together yesterday, and it’s wonderful, not gonna lie. It can’t be toy storage either–that was a huge problem before, too much junk in the room. It was hard to take care of a room that cluttered. We were using the closets as clothes storage–outgrown clothes in one,
They asked if they could use the hose on the patio to clean out the toy box. Yeah, that’s fine. Don’t make a mud mess though. So a few minutes later, Kirsten and I looked over and they had little lawn chairs and their feet in the toy box. Whaaat? We yelled over to them

Tonight we tackled that hell-hole. Jay’s been working on Tim’s room, so he’s been relocated to the guest room where Joe and Heidi lived this winter. Wheee. You can imagine. There’s a thing called The Gray Layer. It lives in nooks and crannies, under couch cushions. You know it when you see it. It’s Barbie
oh yeah, the cleaning of the room Read More »
Okay, we were going to go grocery shopping tonight and also pick up something for supper. Tim and Julia were outside playing, and from the looks of it, nearly rolling in mud. Woo Hoo, living it up. We called them inside, said put all the muddy stuff here in a pile. Change clothes, and then
Okay, we all know the winter has gone on far too long. It started early and nasty and hasn’t improved. Last week’s enormous, sloppy snowstorm was just too much. In an act of March rebellion, Jay never even shoveled the driveway. We revved the engine through it and then drove over the frozen ridges and
