Last night, Mr 9 was building with Duplo Legos with Mr 3. He’s great about playing with his younger brothers and really enjoying time with them. They constructed a house, car, pool, and garden for Pooh (It’s a Winnie the Pooh lego set with some extra blocks thrown in for good measure). As Mr 9 [...]

Okay, can I just say how much I love these games?!? They are so fun, clean, and my children and I love to play them together. I sit at the computer surrounded by 4 boys (ages 12-3) all enthralled at the latest mystery we have to solve. It’s been great for the very rainy weekend [...]

For those of you who are interested, I have finally worked out the details for Mr 7’s unslumber party this weekend. He chose a “hot dog” theme! LOL He’s quite a unique, creative child so that was no surprise.

I am a happy gal today! Nothing in particular…just lots of little blessings.
School is out in 1 1/2 weeks. I can’t wait to have my 2 middle children (who are public schooled right now) home full time! They are both such fun boys and I just plain enjoy their company. It’s nice to have all [...]
