Apparently I took the summer off.
It was not an intended vacation… and several times I came and stared at the screen thinking of things to write – but alas, nothing came out. There are tons of pictures – but none of them got posted. Lots of silly, crafty, happy & sad things happened (like summer [...]

It’s been a while… I’m busy… but this Super-Katie sighting simply had to be highlighted!

I found this picture on my camera…
Lady, I swear… I have not done anything bad yet this morning!
Can I have a cookie?

The boy couldn’t pull himself together yesterday.
His father happened to be home from work to witness the lack of focus.
After several hours of discussion that boiled down to the fact that: I don’t have [...]

Twist me…

I looked in the water and saw…
three little brownies!
(note that two are in vintage uniforms circa 40’s & 50’s!)

The past few months have been a whirlwind ’round these parts. Due to the digi-cam being killed by my cat from hell, there haven’t been pictures… I did dig out the 35mm camera (a rather nice one, at that) and dust it off. Hopefully I’ll get those pic developed before the kids graduate from college!
This [...]

I haven’t written in a while. I got a little scared off and a lot pissed off.
See, it seems that my blog was referenced in court a few months ago by someone who’s got an ax to grind with me. Seems’ that I’m too lax of an educator… all because of one post about the [...]
It was bound to happen sooner or later…

at least one of our kids was gonna break a bone – and Emily has won the honor of being the first.
Wednesday afternoon the kids were horsing around in the kitchen. I warned them that they needed to stop because someone was going to get hurt. I don’t really know the details, but Em fell [...]

One of them knocked my camera off the computer hutch the other day. It is broken. For real. I can’t even turn it on because the little switch-thingie is totally broken. Darned cat was probably hunting the frog (who’s tank is on top of the hutch)… and here I was thinking I’d put the camera [...]

We spent two weeks with family this summer… it was great! It was a whirlwind tour of Washington D.C. , Busch Gardens, Jamestown & Williamsburg. There is so much I could say, but I’ll just let our pictures speak for themselves…

This has been a week chock-full… even when all we were doing was lounging around!
Emily turned 7 on Wednesday… complete w/ swimming and American Girl movie fun.
Last night we had friends over for sweets and slip&sliding and sparkler fun.
And since I forgot to mention it… jme bought me a label-maker – I am in organizational [...]
