Three things I love about being with family over the holidays… the jokes and laughter…watching cousins play together…eating,chatting,relaxing… Three things I wish we had a maid for… the cooking…the dishes…the laundry… What do you love about family togetherness?!
Piano Recital
My nieces gave us a piano recital the other evening! We really enjoyed it. (of course!) Little sister is just learning and she played a couple little tunes for us. Middle sister has been taking lessons and she played several songs for us and did a great job! And Miss E. played through her […]
Hot Dog Roast
This was my chef the other evening.. His sister was gone and dad isn’t fond at all of hot dogs, so this little man labored away, roasting hot dogs for his mom and himself! Somehow, it’s just a wintertime thing to roast hot dogs in the wood stove! I think he felt […]

Two Girls and a Horse
My daughter has… a friend… and my daughter’s friend has… a little horse… and my daughter… and her friend… had… a good time trying to bridle and saddle and ride the little horse!
Soft Pretzels
My littles had a good time rolling out soft pretzels the other evening. We hadn’t made them for a long time. They made fun shapes and designs. Several of my son’s shapes involved snakes, and I was all too happy to let him eat them! I was fine to stick with a pretzel shaped pretzel. […]
Chocolate Chunkers By My Farmgirl
Yummy! It is really hard to beat chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. Especially, with a glass of milk. And, I think that’s a fact. My son has been studying fact and opinion-I will have to ask him!
My Babies
This picture hangs on my bedroom wall. And I’m wondering where the time has gone?!!

We Cooked, We Gave Thanks, We Ate, We had Leftovers,

Lego Crane
My son has enjoyed watching YouTube videos with his dad, of kids showing their farm sets or Lego sets and explaining how they made them or what they did or other details. He and his sister have also enjoyed making video stories with his Lego sets. They love to shoot videos and then love to […]
Too Many Miles
Sometimes, in life there are just too many miles in between. My parents and youngest niece, who live in Ohio, were just here for a visit! It was so much fun. It went way too fast. As always! And right now I just feel like there are way too many miles in between. I’ve lived […]
Five Grandchildren
My son opened a picture shop quite a while back, where you could buy pictures he had drawn or place an order for a picture you wanted drawn. It was open for quite a while and then his mother wanted the shop area straightened up and cleaned up, so the picture shop closed. Recently, he […]
A Spelling Study Session
Studying spelling words can take some strenuous thinking sometimes… Sunny smile… Thinking hard! This word is hard… Let’s see, which letter comes next? I think I got it! Almost finished… The beginning of each week we have a trial spelling test. Twice a week it’s spelling study […]
A Visitor
We have a visitor at our house! She is a little visitor. She is my sister’s youngest daughter and she lives in Ohio. We are so excited for her to be here because Ohio is a long ways from Kansas! This is the first time she has come without her parents. Her sisters have both […]

A lot of our stuff for school has come from Timberdoodle, and I still like to shop there. They have super-cool-fun stuff. […]
