We really had a great weekend.  It wasn’t anything different than our traditional Easter weekend, and yet it was. Saturday we got together with all of my husband’s family to dye eggs and just have fun.  This year we also had some friends join us, increasing the child count from 7 to 11.  Thankfully for […]

The thought that I had so many unposted photos from my daily challenge has kept me away from my blog, so, I’m just going to ignore those photos. :)  I was relatively happy with my challenge of taking a photo a day last year, I did miss a few days, but all in all I […]

There is nothing like four year old logic and imagination.

I guess E4 isn’t the only one growing up!  An avid knife collector, K has planned all of the kids’ first pocket knives.  E2 has decided he’s ready to have one, and K agreed, with a few restrictions: it stays on our desk when not being used, and right now it is only used with supervision.  E2 is […]

  My mom has always wanted a tetherball set, so when she was in town and saw one in the store she got it for the kids to play.  It’s a giant tetherball, and the kids had so much fun!  Although I’m going to have to do a little research about the game- according to […]

  E3 and E4 almost always play together well.  I think E3 likes being a guide of sorts, helping E4 with whatever.  In fact, it seems the only times they aren’t getting along is when E3 is trying to help and E4 really doesn’t want it.

  The kids had a blast making posters and pictures with my mom’s foam stickers.  The stickers were a lot of fun, but the cleanup was a little harder than they expected- the paper backing was everywhere, and when the packages said “hundreds” of stickers, they weren’t exaggerating.

  My dad gave E3 a ride on the big tractor.
