Today we had some friends over, and Allison came up from the playroom and said her teeth just all of the sudden started hurting in a weird way. Upon further questioning, she said that it was one tooth. It just sorta popped and hurt in a weird way. She was covering her mouth in [...]
Looks like we made it…..

Jessica turned 18 today! I swear over the past four years, I was beginning to think we’d never get here! But whew. She is a bright energetic beautiful 18 year old with her whole life stretched out in front of her. She seems to be making more and more steps to adulthood every day, [...]
night night time around these parts
Published in February 25th, 2006
So as I was tucking in the girls, unprompted by any discussions of any sort, Allison tells me that she is an ant pupa (she’s all curled up in her blanket), and from Meredith’s bed I hear, “Yeah, and I’m an ant larva” - strange kids.

Something I discovered today

DELETE THE APHIDS!

Today as dawn broke (ok, you are right, it was 10:30, and yes, we were in our jammies eating breakfast! What of it?), I mentioned to Allison that I needed to do a bit of work on this index that is due tomorrow. The first thing I do when I edit a completed index is [...]
update

hi all!
couple of notes.
Today we had a repair person come to the house to fix the heater (mighty chilly with no heat!). As we passed through the dining room to get to the basement, he noticed my dining table covered with books, papers, pencils, crayons, math manipulatives, etc., etc., etc., and causally asked, “you homeschool?”.
