Our 1st Cucumber- Butternut Squash just picked from the yard- Courtney studies for the last leg of highschool- Joshua doing the same- Can you believe we have TWO children graduating this year? Where did the time go? It only feels like a dream when I remember holding Joshua in my arms each morning. His little eyes would look so sleepy…

Kitchen/Dining Room
4 Moms, 35 Kids is hosting another blog carnival. It’s been fun to scroll through the other family homes. It’s a great way to pick up ideas and it’s just plain fun to see how other larger families live. It’s time for another installment of our home… Quite honestly, I’ve been dreading the kitchen/dining room post from 4 Moms, 35…
Scheduling
I have spent the better part of this week bent over the computer keyboard working on an Excel spreadsheet. My dear Paul, and very sweet Mother, have told me for years that this would be the best way to create a schedule for everyone. Being the pencil, and paper girl that I am, I resisted with every mention of the…
Prayer Cards
Another new project: As I was thinking over some goals I have for our family, prayer was a “biggie”. I want to teach the children to pray over those we know not just when they are having their prayer time in the morning or before bed, but as we go through our day. I went through our address book and…
Meredith’s Buggy
Meredith’s swing… I have always wanted a little beetle car swing for our children. When Meredith’s birthday came this year, I really wanted to buy one for her but they were no longer being sold in my local hardware store. It was sad- I’m really beyond batteries and the fluff they stock toy stores with these days. I want fun,…
Laundry
When we don’t stay caught up with the laundry, we end up with this: Would you like to guess how long it took to fold and place away?
4 Moms, 35 Kids
When Kimberly, over at Life in a Shoe mentioned that they were hosting a linky today to show how big families live, I thought “this would be fun!”….and I was hoping that some of you ladies might have some suggestions on decorating/organizing things here. We’re a family of twelve (my husband Paul and I have six sons and four daughters).…
Black Bear
We were *shocked* when a friend wrote to tell me her son saw a black bear sitting in the road that leads past our home. I didn’t know we had bear here! I found this great website and phoned to ask questions. The gentleman told me there have been black bear here for years. Depending on the person you ask,…

Smoochie
Just my sweetie–
August 4, 2010
It’s been an exciting day… live catfish delivered to the door this morning means Joshua and Jacob will be hard at work this afternoon. After the last catfish experience, Joshua is less than excited. The other boys are counting minutes until dinner time. This should make for a fun afternoon!! Jacob, has developed a NesQuick habit. I won’t buy it…
Back to School
I love that dollar section at Target!! Here’s what I picked up last night for the school room: Did you find something different? If you know of a good deal on back to school supplies, please let us know!
