Happy Birthday Seven-Year-Old


I woke up today to see that despite my greatest efforts to keep food & wet stuff away from our computer a child had spilled water all over the tray where sits the keyboard. Therefore, some of our keys are not working. The N, B, right shift & ctrl, & arrow keys don't work anymore. I'm using alt characters to get the letters I need. It makes it go a lot slower, but I desire to get this up before I forget. So, please disregard all mistakes & I'll do my greatest to use euphemisms as I can.


So, Kate's birthday is today! Yay! She's a pretty special gal in our family. She by far is our most creative child. She always comes up with ideas to help us get stuff completed in a fun way. On of the things I love the most about Kate is that it seems she is always thinking of others & sharind with them. She is such a sweet girl. Here are some pictures of her from yesterday. Her best friend brought over some caterpillars he found in his tree. They played for quite a while with these little guys.

Kate's amigo really desired to have his picture shot, so he put the caterpillar on his face for a picture. Really, this picture is priceless!

Here are Kate's favorites for this year:

1. Food: Chocolate & apples & applesauce

2. School Subject: Gym
3. Book: Fancy Nancy, Kit (American Girl), Dora

4. Thing to do: Play with toys, play Catan

5. Thing about her siblings: Play house, and play with Kit with Eliza

6. Thing about her parents: That they have fun with me & cook for me

7. Thing about herself: That I'm alive

Pink Day

Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks.

My Two Teenagers

As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
