TIMBER!!!

By Erin | Published August 29, 2006

So we have this huge cottonwood tree in the front of our house and right next to the driveway. Ugh! What a mess. When we bought the house we negotiated for the sellers to give us money to not only take down the tree but also replace the driveway that this enormous tree has destroyed [...]

All Work & No Play

By Erin | Published August 24, 2006

What a month August has been. We closed on the new house July 31 and have been working on it ever since. We spent the first 2 weeks up till 11 or 12 every night painting EVERYTHING in the house…. woodwork, walls, doors, cabinets, you name it. Painting takes a long time. We even had [...]

- I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.

- This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.

- We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago. It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip. Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)
