tuesday was isaac’s last day of kindergarten. (and my last day of having a semi-mess-free house). he eagerly wore the same shirt as the first day of school. (shorts and sneakers are too small. sigh.) and we snapped some cute pictures before i sent him off. cute picture one. cute picture two. with curious onlooker. […]
friends
may then june.

yet another installment of my series i like to call “a bunch of random pictures of the last week or so.” hope you enjoy. for memorial day, we headed to the p-salls for burgers and hanging out. the kids were nerds at the kid table. the kiddos jumped on the trampoline all evening long. until […]
the campout.

i got the bright idea that isaac and i should go camping this weekend. i wasn’t sure where. or if he would agree to this plan. or what kind of trouble i was getting myself into. when i picked him up from school friday, i asked what he thought about it and he half heartedly […]
slow saturday random post

a slow saturday morning = blog update opportunities… not much going on around here. nice weather rolling in, so lots of outside time. example. we hit up the cobblestone farmers market. which is decidedly less cobblestone-y this year and a little more concrete-y, since they moved it away from krankie’s. oh well. we got some […]
$65 picnic lunch

a few weeks ago, ike’s school had a giant fundraiser in the form of a spring carnival. there was also an auction to accompany the spring carnival and at that auction, we “won” a picnic lunch with isaac’s teacher, for a whopping $65. flash forward to today. and the picnic lunch was taking place. isaac […]

some pictures… anna and the world’s best dog: i gave my kids each a roll of washi tape. here’s what anna did: and what ike did: wednesday, the 8th, was anna’s actual birthday, so we went out for a delicious breakfast. it’s her favorite meal. bacon, sausage, eggs over easy, toast, pancakes. she’s a little […]
annababy’s 3rd birthday party.

anna’s birthday falls on a stupid wednesday this year. so, we celebrated sunday. which might not have been the best plan because derek was at a meeting all afternoon and our house has been in a perpetual state of disaster since i started keeping extra people and then especially when i got pregnant. anyhow. i […]
princess party…

it was perfect timing that anna decided she liked princesses, because she was set to attend a princess party for the fifth birthday of our pal kaylin. we borrowed a dress from heather and her girls and instantly anna was transformed into a disney princess enthusiast. so, naturally, we gave in. and for anna’s birthday, […]
chickens, princesses and friends.

we’ve had quite a time with our chickens lately. first, we came home from a weekend trip to find four hatched babies. well, two slipped under the fence and were quickly gobbled up by the neighbor’s dog. sad. this picture is obviously before that: now she’s only got two. here’s a cute picture of the […]
so much miscellany.

one last post for the night. i promise. i am the worst about letting blog posts (picture on my phone, really) pile up… anyhooo…. here’s some recent happenings. cupcake taste testers. lunch at an english pub in blowing rock for jude’s 40th birthday girls weekend in the mountains. derek organizing (and cataloging) all of isaac’s […]
