My four-year-old Little Jason loves flowers, and he loves to bring me flowers. Almost daily he’ll go outside and find the best wild flower in the yard and come back inside and give it to me. The other day, however, he came in with a flower, walked right by me, and walked up to his… [continue reading]
A lovely spring day at our house
A boy and his dog. I took the photo through the door because I knew that as soon as I opened the door our retriever would get up, and she did. For so long she would knock Little Jason down when he was outside. I’m glad that they are good friends now. Boys and sticks. … [continue reading]
Weekend fun target shooting
We had such a fun weekend! Jason and I actually got to go on a date! You know, the kind without the kids. It’s a rare thing, but I love when we get to go. I’ll tell you more about that tomorrow. The weather was gorgeous and we spent lots of time out in the… [continue reading]
No fun with the flu
And so our Little Jason was the last of the children holding out against the flu. But alas he could fight it off no longer.

My kiddos were all treated to chocolate dipped cones–yum! He wanted a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I went… [continue reading]
Mom strikes again
You know how I told you last week that Little Jason was so excited to have the same preschool teachers as last year? Yeah, well, that’s interesting. I took him the second week and dropped him off. He was equally excited. I was merrily doing my shopping when the phone rang. “Oh no, I hope… [continue reading]
You get what you pay for
I get the girls’ hair cut once a year, and I always try to take them somewhere economical and with a coupon if at all possible. I found a coupon one day and loaded up. When we arrived the lady looked crosswise at my coupon then finally said, “Okay,” but she would only let me… [continue reading]

Afraid of the Dark
The kids were talking about dreams they have had. One of my girls has a recurring dream in which her hand falls off and the kids pass it around the van! My second daughter Joy asked me how they can remember dreams if they were asleep. I told her that our brains are still active… [continue reading]
