Kids Crack Me Up!

by Alison on November 17, 2009

(blast from the past photo, our current 8 yr old, formerly 3…) Recently, our just-turned-3 yr old, Mercy, has decided that everything that has a smell that she can smell, smells like cow poop, or in her toddler dialect, “smells like tow poop”. It was pretty much cute and funny, at least it was until [...]

itty-bitty fun

by Alison on November 15, 2009

Another busy week for us- 4-H on Tuesday, violin lessons on Wednesday, an evening at the orchestra (what a fun treat!) on Thursday, a homeschool field trip to our favorite historical farm on Friday, and in true no-rest-for-the-weary fashion, a Mommy afternoon at a yarn shop, meeting Susan B. Anderson, on Saturday. Whew! Kinda tired [...]

A Night at the Orchestra

by Alison on November 15, 2009

Thursday evening we had an excuse to get prettied up. Not that my girls need an excuse, I mean they could use, oh, I don’t know, being awake, as an excuse to get prettied up, but it does make it just a tad bit more precious when there’s another purpose than ‘because I’m a girl’. [...]

This past Saturday, we held our Annual Soup Party, with many of the relatives from my side of the family, some families from our church, and a few old friends (oldies, but goodies!). Our children look forward to our soup parties more than just about any other day of the year! They absolutely love them, [...]

This Week at Co-op

by Alison on November 5, 2009

Tuesday was co-op day again, and while the children worked on their speeches, chemistry, European geography, art, phys-ed, beginning sign language, and games, the Moms group was once again such a blessing. We serve an awesome God. He is awesome, creator of all (John 1:3), and yet, He is a personal God, and He makes [...]
