I’m sicker than a dog with a nasty sinus infection.
My boys were bummed to learn that we’d still be doing school though. I feel too cruddy to do anything but sit, so school it is!
“Man, you’re sick and we STILL have to do school?!”
Yes. Then I reminded them that they’d get some time off [...]

Andy was just drying dishes for me. One of the things he dried was a large platter I had used to serve my cheesecake dip, apples and graham crackers on for our church pitch-in on Sunday.
He said, “Mom, your stuff looked good at the Snack-and-Yak, but I didn’t eat any.”
I jokingly pouted.
Then I [...]

Throughout the past year or so, I’ve found some interesting things in the fridge.
A Matchbox car
A small plastic horse
A whiffle ball
The other day, though, I found a Bible in there! I was the first one up that morning, so I know someone had to have put it in there the night before. Crazy, isn’t [...]

We were in the van the other day and Andy was bragging that he’d be done with school before Brady. (He’s a whole 13 months older, remember?)
So, Brady whined, “When I’m in junior high, you’ll be in high school… When I’m in high school, you’ll be in college… When I’m in college, you’ll be working [...]

I was giving my girls a bath this morning, when Evan asked the following question:
“What if all the bad guys ate poison apples?”
She genuinely wanted to know. I’m pretty sure she lives in a Fairy Tale land, but I digress.
What if they served poison apples to those serving life sentences in jail? Or to at [...]

My husband is working this Labor Day weekend… a lot. It’s the nature of his work. We like to joke that we just can’t convince the “criminals” to take the day off.
So, I’m doing stuff around the house.
How many of you homeschool moms are involved in a co-op / support group?
I’ve avoided them this far [...]

Today, while my younger three children napped at home with Dad, I took my three “big boys” to the library.
Thankfully, the round trip drive was uneventful… So much so that a couple hours later, when Connor was praying for dinner, he prayed:
“God, thank you for our food, and our drinks, and our library books. [...]

I generally try to correct my children if they have a gross mispronunciation of basic words. Like, when Andy and Brady thought the singular form of “clothes” was “clo.”
But two-year-old Ferris has this saying that I just find incredibly cute, though very wrong. I correct her occasionally, but not every time.
She’ll bring me [...]
