Celebrating that it's "warm" enough to be in the upper 20s and low 30s, because my garage is piled with junk and I love when I don't have to scrape (much) ice off our vehicle. :) Chugging along with my first year of homeschooling our oldest child- who is also demanding of my attention and could be distracted by peeling paint. Giggling (but very sympathetically!) about Lola's antics because I have been there and lived to tell about it (you will too, hang in there). Love your blog! Next year I'll be homeschooling all 3 of our boys and I'll be reminding myself that you've been there and lived to tell about it. Ha!<br /><br />PS- attended a local CC info meeting. Steered wrong by google maps, arrived late, set off someone's asthma with my perfume, rambunctious son begged for Angry Birds whole time, came home to realize he was wearing pants with split in crotch and no underwear...

We have three older girls and I never had to call poison control before this child, there is no surface or book she hasn't written in or on, and she still manages to be so cute she has us all wrapped around her finger. It takes all of us to watch her and save her from herself.<br /><br />I'm currently expecting our first boy. I was kind of hoping he'd be easier. ;)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139990886922103618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-33231615220052926612013-01-22T04:25:39.493-08:002013-01-22T04:25:39.493-08:00Oh my.

He has left the house, climbed over the back fence, lathered himself in handsoap and conditioner, and wrecked the springs on the bottom of our couch. If this house survives him, it will be an act of God. And yet, God gave him to us. I think for the most part to have a good old belly laugh at our fumbling attempts to parent this little dynamo, but also to teach us a few things. I hope we learn well before another kid comes along!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494638617649883846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-54908548065827083732013-01-21T20:28:38.896-08:002013-01-21T20:28:38.896-08:00Hi, Heidi!

Such an inspiration for homeschooling, and I love to laugh along with you at the kid stories. We have a Lola, too, only he's my 15 month old boy. (youngest of 4 kids.) We too have locked doors, gates in several places, etc. He broke our kitchen cabinet last week (as in hanging from a corner) after we changed the child safety lock. Yeah...he figured out how to work the first "child proof" lock, so we got a different kind thinking it would keep him out. Ha! Hang in there! :) <br /><br />Oh, and we're in Texas, so our days are crazy "warm" here for January...high 60s today. Oddly, I find myself wishing for more winter like weather. Not crazy blizzard conditions...just winter enough that we can wear a sweater for longer than a day. ;) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing through your wonderful blog!<br /><br />Angel G.Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05838910808932648033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-89153376784797080252013-01-21T15:55:56.698-08:002013-01-21T15:55:56.698-08:00I love your blog.

Thanks for both!<br /><br />I'm in WA so my window looks much like yours.<br /><br />Just today I was having some spring longing. Though that often just means rain.....so maybe summer is what I really want!carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586896875529617872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-54901822709163489562013-01-21T07:54:28.533-08:002013-01-21T07:54:28.533-08:00Hi Heidi :-) Had to laugh at the boy's distra...Hi Heidi :-) Had to laugh at the boy's distraction by peeling paint...My ten year old fits that description and he's the one I have to "camp out" with during school. I keep telling myself that when he's grown and out of the house I will have fond memories of being with him. Unfortunately I often am sitting there gritting my teeth looking at the clock while he figures out a simple math problem! lol. It's been gray here in the Tri cities too but no snow :-) I'm ready for Spring :-) Have a fabuless week! Melody W. Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114624810673311814noreply@blogger.com
