Pictures will have to do this week.  I’m writing this too late to remember much of anything.  Most of the pictures are from the weekend since I didn’t have any room on my phone to take more before I moved the pictures to the computer.  And most of the fun stuff we did was over … [Read more…]

Monday: Carson had the day off of school.  While I originally planned to take the kids to the zoo, I opted to get groceries and do some stuff around the house instead.  On the way home from errands I stopped to get lunch for me and the kids.  Betsy fell asleep just as we got … [Read more…]

Since I am writing this post a little later than I have been writing the others, I’ve really forgotten our day by day activities!  So here are the highlights. I painted Carson’s room.  Took me 4 days and 2 trips to Home Depot, but I got it done! Betsy and I had back to back … [Read more…]

I’m trying to decide how to proceed with the weekly blogging.  It was almost easier in some ways to do it daily!  By the time I write the posts I’ve forgotten some of those little things that happened over the week and sometimes totally forgotten what we did on some days.  The best way for … [Read more…]
