We’re getting our tree all decorated–Sassy is a big help and puts on the ornaments right where she wants them. We’ve also hung the stockings: set out my snowglobe collection: and even set up the nutcrackers, even though they freak Sassy out: I love getting out the nativity sets, too… basically, I love christmastime! and…

Snow! A foot of it! And while Hubby and the older kids were out front shoveling the walkways and driveway, Sassy and I were in back living it up! We made snow angels, threw snow around, and then made a snowman. Or, snowwoman I should say. Sassy kept eating the carrots off the poor snowwoman’s [...]

I’m sitting in the middle of a developing blizzard, so had some time to finish up a project I’ve been working on since late ’08. Yay! I’m learning how to work with imovie on my Mac, and so far, so…not bad! For your viewing pleasure, I’ve compiled a movie of the homeschooling highlights we had [...]

On our first day of the Potato Harvest in American Falls, Idaho, we arrived and saw row after row, acre after acre, of…dead vines and what looked like totally fallow fields. At this point, I wasn’t really all that impressed. Surely there wasn’t anything down in all that dead stuff! Hubby’s dad explained they have [...]

We’re packing for our Mt. Rushmore/Devils Tower trip this next week, which has turned into a bigger deal than usual because we aren’t staying in hotels this time. This trip, it’s KOA Kamping Kabins all week! Some without kitchens and bathrooms! Will I survive! I don’t know! I’ll leave you with a great video resource [...]

We took a hastily planned, last minute trip to celebrate my younest sister graduating from college. Yay! It was an 8 hour drive made more complicated by the DVD player in our minivan breaking as I pulled down the driveway. A happy perk to having kids that adore TV in any form is how smoothly [...]

So, all day we’d planned on how we’d spend Earth Hour tonight, starting at 8 pm. Golfer and Hubby had tickets to the Nuggets game, so Naturalist and I decided to read by candlelight (with Sassy hopefully sound asleep for the night).
