gingerbread hizzouse.
here is a way belated post of our gingerbread house construction from last week. it was last tuesday’s advent calendar activity, but then anna took a super long nap after school and we had plans for the evening, so we moved it to wednesday and here’s how it went down… all of the decorations, assembled […]
stuff and things.
not much to report around here. it felt like i had a ton to post about, but then i looked through my pictures since last weekend when we put up the tree and there were like 10 total pictures taken. one of them was of this cute butt. in underpants. because the girl is potty […]
oh christmas tree. 2012 edition.
finally. thanksgiving is over. and it’s socially acceptable to listen to christmas music. and put up decorations. i may or may not have already starting the former. the latter we attended to yesterday and today… rather than hit up any black friday (thursday?) sales, we rolled the mile-ish into downtown (ha!) lewisville to our favorite […]
birthdays and thanksgivings, etcetera.
and so here it is. another one of those catch all posts with a bunch of random pictures thrown together to bring this blog back to the present. you’re welcome. anytime. first, i’ll begin with this cute picture of anna. she is obsessed with cramming her hands into her pockets “just like charlie brown dos”.

miscellaneous happenings.

anna the artist.
anna has already shown much more interest in art than isaac ever did. she loves to color and play with play-doh. isaac would always be willing to do so, but i had to convince him. and sit with him. and even then, it was mostly destructive pretend boy play. just recently, she’s begun drawing people. […]
whatever.
some pictures. and stories. from our lives. lately. birthday party for shira. we got two new-to-us older barred rock hens to replace the two that lucy slaughtered a few weeks back. (plus one more that derek got just for fun, i guess). unfortunately, within a couple of days, they both died. still not 100% sure […]
a feeble attempt to cover the last few weeks.
when i went to post the back to school post, i realized it’s been quite a long time since my last post. then, i started a miscellaneous post and realized that i hadn’t posted pics of the coop or discussed the tragic details of the lucy-chicken incident. so, those events aside, i am now posting […]
