Is it just me, or do you see the resemblance between Apple and the pufferfish?? Apple’s hair is so spikey, it’s insane. I haven’t felt like cutting it. I guess I’m curious once again whether it will actually lay down once it gets long enough. So far, I’ve never let it get long enough. The…
Necco’s got talent!
Necco performed at the Elementary school’s annual talent show tonight. She did fabulous singing Just Wave Hello by Charlotte Church. We were all shocked when she said she’d like to sing at the talent show this year–all by herself! What courage! She was a little timid when she got up onto the stage tonight, but…
Dear Santa
I found this on my bed this morning…Taco writes the best letters!
Who do I look like??

Cows get no respect
This morning at breakfast, Noodle surprized me with this comment… “This milk is from cows that were not treated with respect.” Trying to supress a laugh, I turned around and asked her what she meant. Squinting at the milk carton, she pointed at a little bubble. “See, Mom, it says that the cows were not…
The good, the bad, & the ugly
I did it! I exercised today! I felt great afterwards (halfway through the workout I couldn’t say the same). It was a success, and I feel positive. We had a good dinner, everybody finished their homework without a fight, and the kids helped me fold laundry while we watched an episode of Little House together….
You’ve got to see this!
I apologize for posting two videos in a row, but I caught this Halloween dance last night and just had to share. We have a CD of Halloween Party music, and the kids have not wanted to listen to anything else all week. Even Apple asks for “Mon’ter Mash.” Twizzler was SO serious about his…
Up above the world so high….
Apple loves to do puzzles, and spends the majority of his time putting them together. It is always a hoot to sit back and watch–and listen to!–him while he works, because he sings and talks to himself. He even makes up his own songs (what a talented 2-year-old) Hilarious! Today, he was singing “Twinkle, Twinkle…
Kid math
Here’s a simple addition fact that just occurred to me: 1 mom + 5 kids does not equal 6. Most of the time it comes out to a lot more than that. Somehow kids seem to multiply. Where there are a few kids, a few more will show up. Now, I’m not complaining. I love…
Let’s get started!
I’ve been itching to start a blog for months now but I have been internet-deprived since July, and waiting to get a high speed line back. Comcast is supposed to install a cable line tomorrow (cross your fingers for me!). Being online right now drives me a little batty. Today, there’s about a three-word delay…
