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 […]
isaac
field trips
on thursday, anna and i made a trip to the children’s museum. i’ve been trying to do a few more fun things with her while isaac is in school, rather than run errands and/or clean and/or be lazy. you know, like i did when it was just him. so, we met jess and her terrible […]
field study patchwork quilt
so, here’s how it went down: i started quilting around when anna was born. i’m always late to the party on some fabric lines that i can’t really seem to embrace when they first come out. anna maria horner fabrics have been on that short list. when i saw field study, i knew that i […]
it’s dixie classic fair time again!
yesterday, i picked ike up from school at lunch time and we went to the dixie classic fair. it’s been raining non-stop for like two weeks. or at least a few days, so this was the first nice-ish day since the fair opened. first things first. lunch. isaac was convinced we should do the bumper […]
field day
today was isaac’s field day. yes. five weeks into the school year. it was a beautiful day, so anna and i decided to head out and watch his class play… (he’s the kid in the yellow shirt in all of these pics). after a long search, we finally found them at the oversized basketball hoop, […]
tweetsie with buddies.
our pal graelyn is turning three soon. to celebrate, a set of her grandparents came to town and they all went to tweetsie for the day on saturday. oh. and we also got invited. it worked out nicely because derek has to work so much, and it gave him some time to work, without feeling […]
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 festival of apples.
on saturday, i dragged the kids to an apple fest in bethabara (a historic-ish place in winston-salem). i had a few other mom friends, who were without husbands for the weekend, so we met up to celebrate apples together. lincoln was a super wagon puller. we found the beekeeper exhibit, first thing. love watching bees […]
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 […]
public school. day one.
well. even though it’s still 900 degrees, i guess summer is over and it’s time for school. isaac, at a whopping “five and a half” (don’t dare leave off the half), had his very first day of kindergarten today. he was pretty excited. and picked out this shirt himself. and has decided that i’ll wash […]
