A Month Below Freezing

27 January 2009

It’s a heatwave…a tropical heatwave! Just Kidding! If we make it to the weekend, without rising above 32 degrees F., Minnesota will have the fourth month on record, since the 1880s, to not have a single day above freezing. When the air is colder than cold, and the sun is brighter than bright, just upon [...]

Busted…A Toddler’s Journey in iPhone Pics

I love sneaking up on Molly with my camera when she is being naughty. No, I don’t laugh (in front of her) to encourage the behavior. But, I do snap her picture, usually with my iPhone cause it is always near by. She is so darn curious, independant, and risky, that I can’t help but [...]

I know things, around the house and in my heart, are out of whack when I am too feisty with every one. When I feel: Too snowed in Too sick and tired of being sick and tried (I’ve got to beat this illness!) Too jumped on, called after, and whined to Too impatient. Try as [...]

Scrapbooks and “Witching Hour” Bark

I always struggle to journal in a scrapbook. Poor penmanship, spelling, formatting, and let’s not forget cheesy content. (I have seen it done well, so I give all you that can, “do it”, major props!) Let me think… When did I ever pay to print out a photo that, say, should be anything less than [...]

2009 = Nature

Happy New Years Eve! New Years can often represent a fresh start in a new look, attitude, or plan. Goals are thrown about; some serious, some ridiculous. I just plain want to have more, freshness. Fresh foods to eat, laundry to hang, and goodness sakes, I’d love fresh bread, daily…with butter. Most of all, however, [...]

Shopping Ryan received a new p.j. set from Grammy Lu and Papa Den while shopping at the mall. While telling us about his experience Ry said, “We got my new jammies at nickels. pause We got my jammies at pennies.” The store? Why J.C. Penney’s of course! Compliment While cuddling with Ryan before bed in [...]

Molly vs. The Washer

Patience is a Virtue The front loader windowed washing machine has been great. It substitutes for a fireplace during evening meals. Really, it is transfixing to watch the sudsy beast rotate around. Without a laundry room door we are often pulled into its gaze. Below is a photo of Molly lulled by the swooshing of [...]

Super Hero Party Renovation blues draggin’ ya down? Why not have a drop off birthday party with 7 kids under the age of 5. Shake off the sawdust and cover those outlets! Be sure to remove all table saws and 10″ screwdrivers from the play area. Or if you are like me you do this [...]

Ryan Things that come out of his mouth these days- What the heck? Oh my gosh! This is giving me a headache. Poop, pee, butt-head and all potty talk in general. You are a naughty mom. I hate you! (When the rules are tough or in his way.) I love you. I love my whole [...]

Trick-or-Treating Get-Ups The photos below were just taken this afternoon. I left my camera behind the evening of Halloween. Sometimes I just need to be in the moment and not behind the lens. Molly really “got” it when we took her out for trick-or-treating. She insisted that she go up to every door instead of [...]
