There was great rejoicing in our house this morning as Mousie the 2nd (who went missing several weeks ago) was found hiding behind a piece of furniture in the living room. I heard Edison proclaiming loudly with a mixture of laughing and crying “Oh you silly Mousie!!!! Hiding behind there!” He spent the next [...]

Strawberries
Yummy. Strawberry pickin’ day…We have a counter full of strawberries, red stained fingers and sore knees from kneeling on the ground so long, but we will have a winter filled with fresh jam, frozen berries to top our ice cream and delish strawberry shortcakes. Definitely worth the effort. I’ll be starting the jam tonight [...]

Through the eyes of a child…
For several weeks Edison has been asking me this question when we’ve been driving somewhere in the car…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edison “Hey Mom. What’s that sign on the road mean when the octopus arms are coming up and grabbing the car?“
Me…puzzled by the question…trying to think of a way to respond to this strange aquatic sign he is [...]

Firsts of the season
Long time, no write…We had our first cherry tomato yesterday – actually, Edison ate the first cherry tomato – from our “garden” and he declared it to be “famfashtick” after stuffing the whole thing in his mouth and spurting tomato juice as he spoke. I’ll take his word for it. Note: we got to it before the [...]

Mary, Mary Quite Contrary…
I am approaching the summer with great optimism in the form of my vegetable “garden”. I am hoping the hidden Easter egg hunt approach will help to confuse the goat and keep him from eating all of our fresh produce. This cherry tomato plant is potted near our back deck – for easy access – [...]

Bologna & Cheese Chatter
While eating his lunchtime bologna and cheese sandwich…
“Look Mom. I made the old lady. You know, the one with all the children she couldn’t know what to do…Actually, I made the shoe…Speaking of goldfish,”
(we weren’t)
“do you know that I can eat the faces off of goldfish just like a shark?”
(demonstrates by showing me mashed [...]

Rock Stars
Here Edison and I are trying out our best “rock star” faces as I am totally psyched about the fact that Garrison just bought us tickets to go see THE POLICE at Madison Square Garden! Woo Hoo! Rock on Garrison! Now, if I can just find a babysitter…. Any takers? Halloween night? It’s a school night….Claudia [...]

What REALLY happened to the dinosaurs….
We’ve upgraded from the “bathtub swimming pool” (no sunscreen required) to the outdoor “Rubbermaid storage pool” (lots of sunblock needed on this white bread boy)where Edison rules over all of the plastic dinosaurs.
On goat news, I almost hit the goat with my car yesterday coming home from Bible Study (I was coming home from Bible [...]
