She’s quiet. Very quiet. Usually, that would mean she’s up to no good, but not this time. She’s engrossed in Dr Who. Episode by episode, series by series - thanks NetFlix! I don’t see “my” Dr Who on there – the one I grew up with, and for all intents and purposes, the best. No Jon Pertwee. [...] Ants dining on Terro on our kitchen counter “Mama! It’s ant swarm!” she yells as she runs from the kitchen to the living room. “Come quick! You should see how many ants there are!” I know that ants are a problem in our house. They have been since we moved in, and no matter what I [...] The creative storytelling in my family just amazes me! Here’s the latest from Ciel. It’s called “My version of Cinderella”
Gypsie discovers a colony of magic ants Once upon a time, there was a family, 10,000 years from now (when magic was new), which included Ashley, a 10 year old girl, her step-brother, Matthew, and step-sister, [...] // Raising my two youngest daughters to respect money is a becoming a challenge. My approach toward their weekly allowance probably differs vastly from most parents views on the topic; though, on hearing my rationale, many parents I’ve spoken to agree that it’s a good idea. Paris is 10 and Ciel is 9. They each receive [...] I felt the same way that I did on the first day my girls went to kindergarten. They disappeared through the double doors into a sea of kids. After a few seconds I couldn’t even see them. I had just handed my girls off to a group of strangers and would not see them for six [...] Shorty Doo Wop turned 9 today. It wasn’t really ceremonious .. see, she can’t wait for her gifts. So, when Lanie (the American Girl doll) arrived earlier this week, she HAD to open the package. When Paris bought her a new Webkinz for her birthday, she HAD to enter the tag on the website to [...]
Welcome, Lanie! Yesterday we welcomed a new addition to the family. Her name is Lanie. Lanie is Ciel’s birthday gift from her Grandma & Grandpa McEwan and me, and though Ciel’s birthday isn’t until Friday, Lanie arrived today and she bugged me and bugged me and bugged me until I let her open the box. Lanie is [...] Ciel wants to watch “Lost”. What are we in now? Season 6? The final season – and she wants to start watching it. I will confess, we watched the pre-show show that went through the previous five seasons incredibly quickly and I know why they call it Lost, because I’m completely lost! I admit that I [...] The decision is made. Shorty has been responsible (as far as she can be responsible) for a week. The hamster is a given. We need to call Grandma to let her know. I just won’t let Ciel know until Sunday. Sunday is the deadline. Something drastic could still happen which would cause me to change my [...] |
