last week. on thursday. this kid turned four. it seems very impossible. she’s quite a little character. very independent. and stubborn. she is a super little artist. and loves to read. and pretend. and play with princess dolls. and baby dolls. and hoard piles of random toys into the hidden corners of the house. we […]
lid kid everyday life
the garden. 2014 edition.
rewind to last summer. all my plants were dying and spindly and sad. i swore i’d never have another garden. or at least this year i wouldn’t. after all, i’d have another kid. and my gardens have been pretty unsuccessful since having any kids. but then. spring came. and we are homeschooling. and the cover […]
easter. spring. friends. lemonade.
well. i thought maybe i would split this post into a few smaller topical posts. but, my time at the computer is pretty limited these days. so another lump 32 picture update post will have to do. for now. i did save a zillion pictures from planting our garden today for a later post. you’re […]
the annual coloring of the eggs.
we colored our eggs exceptionally early this year, since i figured they would enjoy eating the rainbow-y eggs leading up to easter instead of me making them all into deviled eggs on easter morning. 🙂 so, last weekend, we assembled the necessary items for egg dying success. the $2 paas dying kit (complete with cups […]

what have i done?
when i uploaded the pictures to this post, i was going to write all about homeschooling and how great it’s been going. but, then, we had a really horrible morning. really horrible. and i wrote an email to a friend. and then, i sat down to finally put words to the pictures in this post. […]
super fast update.
i’m going to race to caption these photos and then get to bed. homeschooling… another post with details to come soon. soonish. hazel’s starting to get grabby. we made cookies. and ate a LOT of cookie dough. perfect cookies. thanks to the cookie scoop. anna got a substantial haircut. the tangled mess was becoming ridiculous.

fully rotational
hazel rolled over from back to front last week. on thursday. at 3 months and 10 days. the same as isaac. anna was a few days behind. i seem to have my work cut out for me… anyhow, she’s not exactly fully rotational, because she prefers to roll one way from front to back. and […]
