On Why Dandelions Will Overtake My Lawn

By Kevin | Published May 13, 2011

www.Landscape-Photo.net It’s a common spring site, dandelions. And no matter how hard you try, your lawn is bound to get them. But when you have kids, dandelions are an even more likely occurrence. Most kids like to blow dandelion seeds because it’s so much fun (you know you still want to). But my kids have [...]

Praise God It’s Freezing!

By Erin | Published January 25, 2008

For the past week it has been freezing outside! In the single digits at night and in the teens during the day… brrrrr! But, boy are we thankful. Last night Kevin was going for our nightly ice cream fix and noticed our freezer was dripping water inside. We looked a little closer and noticed the [...]

Outdoor Improvements

By Erin | Published September 30, 2007

This post might not be very exciting for you but we are very excited that our house is starting to look more presentable from the outside. We got our front yard “installed” this spring. Kevin took down a bunch of trees not only out front but also in the back yard. Everything was so overgrown [...]

Our Labor Day …

By Erin | Published September 4, 2007

The shed is finished!!! Although we didn’t get much time to relax this weekend, it’s done and we’re glad for that. Kevin had some friends come over on Saturday to help with the roof and they finished it up on Monday. Kevin only fell off once. It was about 7:30, Monday morning… I was sleeping and when [...]

Father & Son

By Erin | Published September 1, 2007

Because of all the work we’ve been doing at our house we have had the opportunity to meet many neighbors… they all come over to check out what we’re doing and some have even jumped in to help. One of our neighbors behind us (not the grumpy old man), came over last weekend and helped [...]

- 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. ;)
