Bug box or potty cup??

Saturday was Charlotte's 2nd birthday party (and yes, Ethan's due date, but no, no ethan yet.). J, Justi, myself, and M had to go to Target before we went to the party to pick up Charlotte's present (yes, I always put stuff off until the last day...) and we picked out some moon sand b/c I figured charlotte would have a blast with it...maybe not so much Jess...anyway, while we were at Target Justi bought M a new bug set (has net, couple of plastic bugs and a cup with a magnifying glass to see bugs in). She did so because her dog ate M's last bug net, and apparently felt guilty.

While we were driving to the lunch, Justi gave M the toy, still wrapped and M started asking what the stuff was:

M: what's that? (pointing to the net)
me: That's a net for catching bugs!
M: Oh! what's that? (pointing to the bugs)
me: Those are bugs.
M: Oh! (excited giggles) and a cup! momma, I potty in the cup!
me: (stunned for half a second) oh, no baby! babies don't potty in cups.
M: oh. Just momma's? for the doctor?
me: yes, that's right. Just for the doctor.

so? I've been taking her to the doctors appointments with me, and each time I have to pee in a cup, and M knows now that sometimes I have to pee in a cup. why not her too??

Chicken Adventure Begins

Our first step towards the 'homestead' lifestyle: CHICKENS. J and I have been researching, reading books & articles, and saving a TON of info to our Pinterest board. I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year. I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations. The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres. The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard. Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store. We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me: M! E! It is time to go home. now! M: E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Coming Full Circle - Idaho

Life has run us around a bit, and we have enjoyed the journey. As Facebook rather took over our lives in regards to blogging, I did not maintain my blog. I find, however, that I enjoy coming back and reading my blog more than I like perusing old facebook posts. So I begin again with blogging; for myself more than anything. We have managed, since my last post in 2012, to return home to Idaho. We spent 5 great years in Colorado! The kids grew up with the neighbors; McKenzie had horse riding lessons from a young lady named Carrie, in Longmont; she started playing flute in 2nd grade, and in 4th she switched to playing trumpet; Ethan started playing soccer, and Minecraft (video gamer in the making). We got McKenzie a cat named Diamonds. We got a puppy who we named Ryder. We got new appliances in the kitchen that I love (double oven, fridge with freezer drawer, etc)! I mention them, because I am sad to have left them in Colorado. W...
