No Child Left Behind

Why, oh why are our schools in such poor shape. Could it be that it starts from the top?

What to be for Halloween.

I have one, possibly two, gifted little boys at home and they constantly surprise me.

My eldest, 4 years of age, can't decide what he wants to be when he grows up, a cartographer or a Power Ranger.

Roman the Raven?

We were working on the yard this evening and a little pal hopped aboard my clothing. We made him a home of a mason jar and a meal of a strawberry. A. named him Roman the Raven. Kids come up with the funniest names.

Lincoln Logs

Do you remember Lincoln Logs? A. 4 has finally discovered them. His Nana M. purchased him a huge set last Christmas. Here he is with his Stagecoach Station.

Today we went to the library. By the time we got home it was 2:00pm and I hadn't eaten lunch yet. I explained to the boys that they would have quiet time on the sofa and watch the movies we borrowed from the library. A asked if they could watch his first; I told him he could. He said to that "It's a great day in the United States of America." Ahh, it certainly is.

My Mom's Electronic Artwork

My mom has been creating the cutest little artwork. Here is a locket she put together with little baby R.'s picture in it. Isn't it so sweet!

Old is New

I finally found a slip cover for the chaise; it's stretchy!

My Helper?

Recently my little R. was an extra handful and I decided it was time to tomato stake him again.

For about three days I kept R. at my side. The last day of his staking fell on Saturday when I clean the bathroom. See how he scrubs the toilet. I use borax and baking soda and lots of R's elbow grease.

See how proud R. is of his work!

This is a test post.
