This week’s book was Monkey See Monkey Draw by Alex Beard. The story is about a bunch of monkeys who learn how to paint with mud and how to play together without arguing and competing. The illustrations are cute, Juniper really liked the elephant character. Now, there was really only one thing that we could…
It’s hard to believe it has been a year since we left Florida and moved to Missouri. One year ago today we pulled into Jane’s driveway, exhausted from the long drive and excited to start this new chapter of our lives. We really love living in Columbia, our house is amazing and we are close…
Day 202 Today we harvested the absolute biggest zucchini ever. That thing was enormous! And heavy. We ate stuffed zucchini for dinner, which was super yummy. Day 203 For the first time in a long time, it wasn’t a million degrees outside this evening. So we enjoyed the nice weather by doing some much needed…
Last week my boss told us “By the way, next weekend there is a conference in Kansas City that you can all go to. Oh and we’ll pay for gas and food, AND you can take a day off this week if you go.” Ummm… Do you really need more incentive than that?? I know,…
Last week we read the book “Sector 7” by David Wiesner. Of course, I use the term “read” pretty loosely in this situation because there are no words in this book. The illustrations are fantastic though, and we had fun talking about what was happening on each page. The book is about clouds, and how…
Hey, remember this list? Yeah me too. I had forgotten about for a little while there, but it’s back now. I found it collecting dust on top of our refrigerator with a random assortment of other things my husband put out of reach. Still though, even without thinking about it for a few months I’ve…
Day 195 We had a bit of fun with a bottle of water today. I bought that water on my lunch break specifically for this. We just had so much fun with it last time! Day 196 Today we had a mini bbq picnic so I could test out the tiny grill someone at work…
With both the kids and my husband in bed for the night, I found myself once again trying to clean up our house. Its like a battle that can’t be won, but we keep trying to fight. (Like the movie 300, only with 299 less hot guys.) It is so frustrating to spend all of…
I used to read a lot, but having kids kind of made that a hard hobby to find time for. Between work and kids and other responsibilities, there is only so much time for hobbies and I usually chose more crafty pastimes. I think I’ve read MAYBE 3 books in the past 4 years? This…
I am once again feeling like a total creeper today. This is the third time this year that I have randomly drawn a picture for someone out of the blue. “Hey, I thought this picture of your baby was cute, so I drew it.” Yeah, I’m a weirdo. I’ve said it a million times, sometimes…
