Now its Getting Christmassy!

This… this tree was put up entirely by the boys. Absolutely no help from me at all! I heard them working on it as I woke up from a nap. I love them! They even did the lights: The string was pretty tangled in some parts. Such a handsome boy. The work was taken VERY [...]

I Can’t Believe It

My “baby” turned 11. ELEVEN. 10+1. Double 1. I had a MOMent on Sunday when it happened. Here he was when he was my little man at all of nine months: This was Sunday before we attacked his cake: He requested the cake: yellow cake with lemon curd filling and white frosting. Thanks, Paula Deen, [...]

One Reason Why We Love Where We Live

It’s all about the outdoors. Saturday afternoon was too pretty to waste indoors so in spite of J’s congestion, we decided to get outside and enjoy ourselves with an easy walk. The puppy was beside herself with joy, you have no idea. Or maybe you do! Hubby and I got to take turns with the [...]

Rockin’ Out

So, this past couple of weeks the boys have been studying a little bit about rocks. We delved a wee bit into the different kinds of rocks (sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic). We thought we’d share a bit about how we made our own sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed when earth is eroded by water [...]

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 [...]

Boys Of the Future

J: Mom, when I grow up,  it’ll be the FUture! R (friend of NM): J, you don’t know if you’ll even make it to the future. NM: I bet I’ll make it! It’ll be the future when I’m an adult.

Oh Dear

~ Clearly, it’s been slow here at In That Number. So sorry. Real life and—to be honest—Farm Town game on Face Book take up a bit of my online time. ~ Part of why it is slow here is that I still have no camera. This is very sad to me! I have a camera [...]

Snippets

~ Today: the boys were fighting over what cleaning they want to do. Yes, that’s a blessing! I should get them to clean more often, shouldn’t I? ~ Hubby has his Father’s Day present early. It’s a new kettle barbecue. But guess what? Guess what? Guess what? It’s charcoal. I’ve waited years for this day! [...]

Memorial Day Shenanigans

IMG_0840 Originally uploaded by Phisch Boy, are we all tired! More photos here. I got up really late. Please don’t ask me what time it was, the only sign was that the sun was glaring right at me. “Get up, lazy bones!” it seemed to be saying. It didn’t know that I was up really [...]

Gotta Love It When…

So today we had a teensy bit of a rough day. While most people won’t connect coloring markers with difficulty focusing, if you know the Feingold diet you know exactly what I’m talking about. In spite of it all, and no doubt due to a prompting of the Holy Spirit, my NM apologized to me [...]
