Worm lovin'

April 10, 2008

I’ve been composting with worms under my kitchen sink for about 2 weeks now and everything is going fine. (knock wood, as my grandmother would say … ) I had been really excited about getting worms until the day they were to arrive. That day I was kind of panicking. I was sure I was [...]

Hotel Par-tay

April 8, 2008

We stayed at a hotel Friday night about ten minutes from home mostly because the kids like to swim and jump on hotel beds. As soon as Jack woke up on Friday morning he started packing his stuff. I’d told them the day before they could each pack 2 toys. Jack packed a webkinz and [...]

Just a regular old Thursday afternoon

April 4, 2008

Both kids played a lot yesterday with a microscope set we got them at Fry’s. I left it in the back of the van saving it for a day when we needed something new and exciting. But Jack knows my tricks and I guess has developed the habit of checking the very back of the [...]

Right On Time, Save My Mind

April 3, 2008

A couple of weeks ago the Hannah Montana show was a pretty constant fixture in our living room. Olivia set up the dvr to record episodes and she wasn’t deleting the shows she had already seen, she kept watching them over and over and over again. She didn’t sit in front of the tv from [...]

Waiting on worms

March 28, 2008

I’ve got worms arriving today and I am not ready. First I was going to use a kitty litter container, but then I read that is too deep … The box or container should be shallow, not more than 1 1/2’ deep. Redworms tend to feed in the top layers of bedding. Materials may pack [...]

But a Mommy can

March 23, 2008

As I was getting ready to go to the store yesterday Olivia asked me to add candy, two baskets, grass and plastic eggs to my list. After I came home I asked if she believed in the Easter Bunny. She said, “A bunny can’t bring you stuff.”

Don't Talk To Strangers

March 20, 2008

A group of preschool/kindergarten age kids were at the park yesterday, all wearing blue t-shirts. I overheard one girl saying to the middle aged male (why does that creep me out so?) teacher, “We’re not supposed to talk to strangers, right?” I didn’t hear what his answer was but then she pointed at my kids [...]

Saturday

March 16, 2008

After complaining abut how hot our apartment gets, yesterday was cold and windy. Our front windows kept blowing open blasting us with cold air. We decided it was too cold and didn’t go out for a walk. The kids played webkinz a lot and Shane’s off camping with his mom and Lee was busy working [...]

Mrs. Fix-it

March 15, 2008

I thought we would need a plumber to come over and fix the tub yesterday. We’ve had plumbers here before and one of them told me we have pipes the diameter of a quarter. I guess that’s bad. I really didn’t want to deal with waiting for a plumber or the mess that is usually [...]
