Making Friends

Well, that was the idea anyway. This little squirrel surprised me. She was awfully close to us while we were playing at one end of the park. When J wanted to approach her—he asked nicely—she didn’t scamper up a tree but she did keep a safe distance. It turned out that the ground was covered [...]

Just Another Day Off

Starting the post with a tangent: the little one asked me this morning, “Mom, where’s that one place we went with the guns and the old building and the tea party?” Me: “You forgot what it’s called? Remember? The Alamo?” Hahaha. Hah. But really, we wanted to share about the day after the Alamo. I [...]

To the Alamo!

Hubby decided to make this weekend go from three- to five-day time off for fun. Fun! He wanted to head down to San Antonio, so we did. Poor Sprocket stayed behind, but our neighbors came by to take some of our pea gravel and took her home, too. She loves them all over again. So…off [...]

I Can’t Complain

Nor should I, right? While trying to get a “smile for me” photo out of the boys is near impossible, now and then, I manage to get something that looks decent. These were taken yesterday while the boys most patiently waited for us to be seated at Kerbey Lane Cafe. Mind you, it was just [...]

Yellow

I may have to revise my feelings regarding yellow. I wasn’t at all a fan in any way, shape or form. Haha! I said “form” about a color. It’s after midnight, excuse the weird humor. But anyway. When we went to Famous Footwear last week, I tried on a pair of yellow flip flops. I [...]

Museum Day

So, since I felt like we were in a school rut (maybe you homeschoolers know what I mean), I decided it would be a good day to take the boys out to see a museum or two. I’d been wanting to visit the Bob Bullock museum of Texas history for a good, long while. Unfortunately, [...]

Last Saturday

I forgot to blog it, I know it’s late. But last Saturday our boys spent the night with friends. Apparently they had fun sleeping in a room full of other boys. They were pretty tired the next day and both were caught staring into space a few times. But I got so many hugs! It [...]

Road Trip!

This post is a bit heavy on the photos…just so’s you know. They’re tiny so that it makes you want to go look at the bigger versions over here on Flickr. Fall is looming—again—and so hubby was feeling the impending loss of our free Saturdays. Loss? To soccer games, of course. He decided he would [...]

what you lookin at?!

what you lookin at?! Originally uploaded by Phisch There’s more peacock drama here. Hubby’s laptop died today. IBM can’t make it out until tomorrow so his work’s loss was our gain. DAY OFF! We headed up to Mayfield Park where we’d hoped to spend the morning this past Saturday. Unfortunately, they didn’t allow dogs so [...]

Inner Space Caverns

2009-06-18 Inner Space Caverns Originally uploaded by Phisch So, much delayed post, sorry! Three weeks ago, we had the blessing of a visit from my MIL. Unfortunately, hubby couldn’t take the days off while she was here (he made up for it the following week though). I honestly can’t remember what we did on the [...]
