School is finally out! A Thursday Thirteen meme
Today is the first day of summer vaction here. After some quick calculating, it’s been determined that the twins had been in school 4 1/2 weeks longer than the rest of their classmates by the time school ended yesterday. They didn’t, of course, realize this, thank goodness. I mean, they understood that they had been [...]
Tackle It Tuesday
I approached today’s tackle a bit differently. I didn’t tackle something that had to be cleaned, but rather something that needed to be “set up” in anticipation of school starting in the fall. Yes, I know, I’m 2 months early. There’s just so much that’s going to change when we all (myself included) start back [...]
Frenzied Friday
This post is taking part in Frenzied Friday! This week wasn’t nearly as harried as last week. It seemed I had a bazillion appointments and conferences all lumped into last week. This week, I’ve spent cleaning the house. A little bit here and a little bit there. I’ve also decided to print out FlyLady’s control [...]
Compost pile Q&A
Shortly after we moved here, the boys started an organism unit in science. Zach’s class had earthworms as one of their organisms and his teacher sent home a note asking for vegetable scraps to add to their compst for the earthworms. So, now that the weather is a bit better (*ahem* warmer…sort of) I’ve been [...]
Tackle It Tuesday
Today’s Tackle It Tuesday was fun. Why was it fun? Because it wasn’t my tackle! And I had fun dumping out the toys for the boys to clean up. Yes, that sounds like I was being a mean mommy, but I went to the playroom looking for something and couldn’t find it. While their floor [...]
Irritating
Dh returned home from work about 1:30 this afternoon. Around 2, we were eating our lunch (or in his case, dinner) and we were suddenly overwhelmed by the sound of jackhammering. Apparently, our complex decided to re-do some of the concrete around the area and our front doorstep was one of those areas. We, of [...]
Regal’s free family movie festival
When we took the boys to see Kung Fu Panda on Saturday (great movie, btw! Liked it better than Horton, and I really liked Horton!), I saw a poster advertising a family film festival. I wrote down the web address and just now decided to look it up. Regal theaters hosts a family movie festival [...]
Green inspiration and piggy busses
I often get inspiration from my kids. Sometimes I’m inspired to take pictures. Sometimes I’m inspired to do a scrapbook layout (which I haven’t done in forever, btw!). This weekend, however, I was inspired to do something completely different. It’s the time of year where I purge winter clothes, and sometimes summer clothes, that are [...]
