things have been pretty boring around here. standard kid stuff. he’s way too many pictures to document our lack of anything exciting… the first of many hazel pictures. naturally. sad sad anna, after we told her about lucy killing our favorite chicken, tina fey. i had to promise her we would get more chickens. we […]
art
kitchen table. birthday. and general kid cuteness.
things have been kind of low-key around here. trying to wrap up loose ends and get ready for the craziness to arrive. i have been hating our kitchen table situation for a long long time. the cushioned chairs are all completely stained and gross, because i gave up on cleaning them a long time ago. […]
some october pics.
here’s the random, miscellaneous, mundane stuff that’s been going on around here for the last three weeks or so… we have been letting anna sleep on the bottom of isaac’s bunk bed a little more and a little more as we prepare for her room to be temporarily surrendered to the baby. eventually, she and […]
catching up. again. sigh.
once again, i find myself not doing well with this whole keeping up with my blog. so, here’s another conglomeration of instagram pictures and some that didn’t make the instagram cut. detailing our life in the last few weeks. this cute girl LOVES to draw. i love it. i was the same way. i remember […]
our boring summer…
not much exciting happening over here. we’ve had the girls a lot, which limits our ability to get out and about. and drains us for our days off, so that we wind up just lounging around a lot. needless to say, our to do list hasn’t even been dented. here’s some noteworthy (sort of) pictures […]
anna’s portraits…
the annababy is becoming quite a little artist. her potato people have transformed and she’s including so many little details. and big details – like bodies. 🙂 here’s some that i’ve managed to capture on digital media before she destroys or erases it… a portrait of foofa, plex, and toodee. in chalk. here are foofa, […]

ike writes
our big kindergartener has been coming home with lots (millions, really) of classwork everyday. my favorite things are the sentences and occasional accompanying illustration. he had to write a weather report one day. this is very scientific. playing with john. “never gonna catch me!” a full report about his birthday sleepover. ixiding. he loves penelope […]
miscellaneous happenings.
not much exciting to report around here. we’ve been watching a ridiculous amount of “it’s the great pumpkin, charlie brown” and have now moved onto “a charlie brown thanksgiving”. i’m hoping to get through halloween before we have to bust out “a charlie brown christmas”… (we did have one sneak peak already. :/) anyhooo… here’s […]
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.
