Another Busy Week

I can’t even remember why or what, but this week was non-stop. Haven’t had as much time to write the posts I would have wanted to write. Hopefully the weekend will be a little slower. We can get caught up. We did get to meet our neighbors 4 day old daughter. She was super cute […]

Driving That Train

The girls climbed up on the tractor and pretended they were steam locomotive engineers. Abigail used the deck lowering lever as the Johnson Bar. Lauren did the steering, which wasn’t very train like.

Problem No More

Started with this. Ended up with this. Of course it took some help. It was their job to hold the faucet while I turned the nut underneath with the basin wrench. Uh. Hmmm. Mmmmm. Hold the faucet girls. That’s better. Thanks girls. – b

Mommy I’m Scared

That’s been Lauren’s theme this week. She won’t go to bed because she’s scared. She wakes up and comes to our room because she’s scared. We ask her what’s she’s scared of and she usually tells us it’s either the gremlins taking her books out of her shelf or of someone coming to take her. […]
