Breydon’s class has been studying slugs and their lifecycles at school. They have a station in the room where the students the kids can watch what the slugs do, which as far as I can tell isn’t much. The playground is a slug magnet, so it’s a good use of something that is in plentiful [...]
Today I’m going to talk about me. Okay, that is a bit misleading because this blog is all about me because sure, I talk about the boys, cats, dogs, and Scott, but everything is seen through my eyes and my perspective. But today I’m going to focus on my wants and dreams.
I don’t know if [...]
Jude is adjusting to being home with Mommy and Roegen. I still field the occasional question about why he isn’t in school, but the thrill of playing with Captain in the garage, riding his scooter, visiting Grandma, coloring, digging for worms as weather permits, and all of the ways to spend time that he can [...]
Jude started kindergarten August 25. He was so proud before he headed out the door to the bus for the first time. He loves it.
He’s not ready.
Since school started Jude has been having numerous outbursts, crying fits, and has been experiencing challenges dealing with just about everything. Wrong color drinking glass? A tragedy to rival [...]
Roegen has been enjoying all of the one-on-one attention he is getting from me now that his older brothers are both in school. He loves being able to run into whichever room I’m in and give me the play-by-play on whatever he is up to now. Or thinking about getting up to. Or what the [...]
As is often the case in families with young children Scott and I aren’t able to connect physically as often as we’d like. Unlike the days before we had children we can’t do the horizontal tango without planning for it. Unfortunately, our youngest child has other plans.
I don’t know why it is but whenever Scott [...]
Last night Scott stepped outside for a moment. As he walked to the car he was treated to a chorus of “Hi, Mr. Scott!” as the football team ran by.
Do you think there’s a student in the high school who doesn’t know where we live yet?
School is no longer out for the summer and Breydon was awake before six and rousting everyone else out of bed. The boys had picked out their clothes the night before so before I knew it they were all dressed and waiting for the bus. And waiting. And waiting. Because you know that six was [...]
So now that we’re moved and trying to be settled, life is becoming more normal. And by normal, I mean that we have the usual amount of chaos without adding in the challenges of job hunting or moving cross-country. Instead, like families all over the US, our attention is turning to school.
First, there’s Scott who [...]
When we have spaghetti I usually strip Roegen down to his diaper. I find it much easier to wash him than to get red sauce out of his clothes. The other night he dropped some noodles onto his lap. Once the food was rescued he looked at me and said “my naked is dirty!”
