Carrie and I went to see the new Disney movie this afternoon. It was really good, and Carrie did very well even with the scary bits. I like how this Disney Princess was not waiting around for Prince Charming to make her life better and instead was working hard to try to make her dreams [...]
OK, I’m right up there with Anna’s feelings on snow. Yep. It’s cold. And wet. And the boots I bought Carrie last week don’t fit right. (Side note: she has the skinniest little legs of any child I know, and I can’t zip the things up over tights, let alone socks or leggings – who [...]
There was a smattering of snow on the ground when we went out to wait for the bus this morning. Carrie was thrilled, running through the front yard in her sneakers (remind me to buy her some new boots soon!) and picking up the very packable snow to throw everywhere. Anna’s not so sure about [...]

If it’s not one thing, it’s another, right? Just when I was starting to feel better, I started feeling worse again. Yeah. Now I have a sinus infection. Sigh.
Well, it’s probably not practical for long posts, but I’m writing this from my new iPod Touch… Pretty nifty!
Hot. Tired. Dusty. Worth it. The kids enjoyed the festival this year – Anna even manged to “baaa” at the sheep. It was a bit too hot for my liking (what good is a fiber festival if you can’t wear your handknits??) but I still managed to get in warm wooly zone long enough to [...]
So there have been enough little stories Carrie has volunteered about the past few days that I think she’s probably actually enjoying school, and just might be a little overwhelmed by trying to describe it. Her favorite parts are still recess and riding the bus, but really, who doesn’t like those things? I love the [...]
Today, Labor Day, marks the end of summer and the beginning of my favorite season: fall! It’s a little more complicated now that Carrie’s headed off to school full time. I’m sort of treating this like I try to treat New Year’s: begin as you mean to go on. Today I have: – caught up [...]
