How Big is Your Sink?

 I have been on a little "computer strike" this last month.  Not quite sure how that happened.  All I know is that I haven't had the desire to sit down at the computer much.  Maybe that's the curse of my iPhone ... I can still check my email and even surf the internet on there instead of sitting at the computer.

Amid all of the chaos of our move, I did not take any pictures ... even though I meant to.  And, the only thing I did to document what our house looks like, is record a little video tour on my phone right before we left to go to Utah.  Expressly for the purpose of showing my family.

This last month we have been busy, and not so busy.  I have worked hard, and then been a little bit lazy.  So, there are no new photos of our new house.  Except what you'll see in this and the next two posts I plan on writing soon.  Maybe one day I will get around to taking pictures ... maybe after we have finished all the cleaning.  (I'm still walking around in awe that this is our house.  And, we still haven't finished cleaning all the minor areas of the house.  The house was vacant for about a year, so the baseboards really gathered some dust.  And, the more I clean, the more I come to the conclusion that the previous owners weren't very clean people.  All of the door jams have metal shavings on them, as well as the doors, because of the hinges.  I haven't decided whether I will have to paint the doors and door jams yet.  Oh, well ... I digress.)

My Miss Maryanne got really messy one day.  So, being the lazy person I was that day, I chose to put her in the kitchen sink instead of walk up the flight of stairs to put her in the bathtub.

Our kitchen sink is ginormous!  We didn't realize how huge the sink is until after we moved in.  It is by far the deepest sink I have ever seen.  It is black ... something that I thought for sure Jon would hate (the man who hates all things black), but it hasn't bothered him too much.

I don't know if I have shared any pictures of M in the sink in the apartment, but I remember sitting her in that sink, and the counter came up to her waist.  That is how much deeper this sink is.  I want to get those gel pads that go on the bottom of the sink to help avoid broken dishes when our children drop them into the sink.  Anyway, I don't have pictures of the house, but I do have these pictures of the sink.  Does that make everyone feel better about my long absence?  :0)

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. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

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...
