This weekend we took the boys to visit their grandparents, and we fed some ducks:
Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

Stitchin’ with the Kids
So, I had been saving this project for a rainy day – and boy howdy, has it been rainy in Tennessee! So after school I decided to let my antsy boys try a hand at some stitchin’:
This is a really easy project to do at home, and pretty inexpensive. You will need: burlap, which has [...]

Lessons Learned from the Beach
So, we’re back from Panama City Beach. Rolled back in Monday night, to be exact. Lessons learned:
1. Visiting family at the halfway point (Montgomery) was a very good idea. Boys loved playing with their (second) cousins!
2. I hit the party section at Hobby Lobby and did not regret it. Pinwheels and kaleidoscopes were VERY inexpensive [...]

Tic Tac Toe
So, with this upcoming trip I am trying to think of everything I can take to keep my kiddos occupied in the car. And I decided to use a classic:
Monkey got so mad at me because he says it looks like he’s losing.
We have a lot of craft foam from the lacing project, and [...]

Makin’ your own Lacin’ Cards
So, the boys have been watching me stitch from time to time. The other day, Monkey takes the shoe strings out of his shoe (while we were in the car) and starts “stitching” them together with his “needle” (the lace).
When we got home, he wanted to get his other shoes and his brother’s shoes [...]

Hey Chewbacca! What a wookie!
I lived in Monterrey, Mexico during the 1998-1999 school year as an exchange student at ITESM (Instituto Tecnologico de los Estudios Superiores de Monterrey…you can see why it became ITESM or, more commonly, el Tec). And it was there that I discovered a fabulous substance:
Nutella.
I thought it was a Mexican product until I later discovered [...]

I ask them to share things but…
The boys have been swapping fevers back and forth this week. Monkey’s came on quite unexpected this afternoon after school – he was very cranky and whiny and tired; I thought something else was going on but turns out he’s got a fever. He’s fine right now - so far I am attributing it to “mystery virus”; [...]

I promise I didn’t drop off the face of the Earth…
We’ve been busy ya’ll. A wrapup:
We are wrapping up the Monkey’s swimming lessons. He has really enjoyed them this summer, and he is very confident in the pool now. We will definitely repeat these next summer, and likely for the Bear too.
The Bear turned two, and BHE turned 31, on August 1.
Monkey started school (Tuesday/Thursday [...]

Tasty Bits of Sun…
Ya’ll, I just blogged a couple of days ago about how beautiful our sunflowers are, and how wonderful it’s been for my photography as well as for the boys to see how a rather large plant grows from a rather large seed.
But BHE had other motives for growing the flowers…the seeds are quite tasty.
WordPress didn’t work [...]

It all started out so simple…
Last month signups for fall soccer began in our small town. We asked Monkey if he wanted to play – a big “YES” was the reply – so we got him signed up. BHE did the signup and at the time, signed up to assist. He did this as much to be involved as to [...]
