Instinct to Mother

Which came first?  The little mommy or the little hen?

Mac Attack

Blogging has been a little scarce.  I guess you could say I’ve been distracted this week learning something new.

I’ve been transported into a new world.  Am I somewhat hip now?

At least Mini thinks so.
In case I don’t see you by Sunday, I wanted to wish you a Happy Mother’s Day.  Mine is already off to [...]

O Come Blessed Saturday

I tucked Max into bed tonight and started our popcorn-style prayers as usual.  I said “Thank you God for all the things we learned today.”
Homeschooling Mom! I Rock!
Max said, “Thank you God for finally a DAY OFF!”
Okay, he likes to take a break on the weekends.  Got it.
Walking away now.  See you on Monday.

Wear and Tear

 

Geez, raising a boy is hard some weeks!  But I believe you can learn a thing or two from a 6 year old boy.  This is what Max is teaching me this week:

The Lost Blog Posts

This is the FIRST tomato I have grown.  I’m mighty proud of that accomplishment.  Honestly, I didn’t do anything but water it [...]

Pics

Thought I’d share some of the pics that haven’t made their way into the blog yet, but I didn’t want you to miss.  They make me laugh!

Max’s ear tube fell out (which is normal, the surgery was 14 months ago) after swimming last Sunday.  He held it up on the tip of his first finger [...]

Highlights

We’re back home now and the water is safe and the washing machine and dishwasher are, once again, in full use.  Looking back, I could have survived here and boiled water for the week (like millions of my Washingtonian complainers compadres), but I’m glad I took the path of least resistance.  That path led us [...]

LOL

I can’t think of a cuter sound than a baby’s laugh. And guess who laughed for the first time today?

Oh, it was adorable! Nana stopped by and brought Chick-fil-A for lunch (yum!) and got to hear Mini’s cute little giggle herself.
She laughed a total of 3 times today, in spite of my 933 [...]

Mirror, Mirror

This is Max at the barber. He likes going to get his haircut because he can look at himself in the mirror for 10 minutes straight. He cracks himself up!

This is Mini after waking up from her afternoon nap.

Maybe she could use a mirror. Hee hee!

Note to Self:

if I’m ever shopping for jeans (horror!) and find a pair that I love (gasp!) and they have the cutest most darling zany embellished snaps sewn on the flaps of the back pockets (hahahaha), I will flee from the temptation to purchase them immediately.
Because I will remember that 5 year old boys are drawn to [...]
