Lots of pictures from the end-of-session performance. Come back next week if you don’t want to look at twenty pictures of the girls in tutus…but for the grandmas and aunts, I took a ton!

Matching Aprons!!!
Posted in Elizabeth, Homemaking, Janie, Susanna on Mar 9th, 2015
Elizabeth and I just got in from a full day of flying back from KK’s shower (pictures to come when I can convince my insane computer to download them), and what did we have waiting for us but a package from Aunt Becky. Inside we discovered (with much squealing) that she had made all four […]
Our landlord decided that several of our trees needed to be trimmed. We’ve called a long recess, and the kids are glued to the windows. I think they all have a new career goal as of this morning!
Discovery Cube with the Andersons
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Feb 27th, 2015
When Ariana and I decided to check out the Discovery Cube a few months ago, I opted for a membership and had an extra child slot that I used for Abby. So we went back this week to see the new Thomas the Tank Engine exhibit. As lame as the museum is overall, the kids […]
Matching Brown Pants
Posted in Elizabeth, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Feb 24th, 2015
It’s so rare that all three girls wear pants on the same day, and today they happened to all choose brown. They insisted on having a photo shoot to commemorate it… And got silly.

Messy School Days

I’ve been meaning to put up some pictures of the mess that a normal school day produces in this house. These are from last week, but they’re pretty representative of every day around here… Between school bins, papers, crayons, colored pencils, math manipulatives, cars, ballet slippers, water bottles, and the like, the table is hard […]
My computer unexpectedly just let me upload my camera card this afternoon! Here’s a scene from a few days ago, when all three girls decided they needed to be ballerinas. School went “Do something–dance–do something–dance…”
finger guards
Posted in Elizabeth on Jan 28th, 2015
We’re trying to get Elizabeth to stop sucking her finger. It’s been rough so far. The guards effectively prevent sucking on the fingers, but she went back to her thumb. We now put on a glove under the right thumb and nasty tasting stuff on the left thumb. Hopefully she’s slowly breaking the habit! Her […]
The girls turned the bunk bed into a motorhome this weekend. They and their dolls and I had a nice vacation trip!
