Rhett attempting to feed ducks

Last week my two older boys were in a daily morning summer camp so it was just Rhett and I on the town.  On Wednesday we were meeting some friends at the park so we went a little early with a large bag of old bread to feed the ducks before play commenced. Quite honestly [...]

Monday. Monday. Potluck Monday. Last week two of the boys were in camp every morning. Rhett, for the first time, an only child. 3 hours of undivided attention and a taste of how it will be this fall when the older two go to school. Pure bliss. And now for the feature without a button [...]

Holly Play-doh

I am a huge fan of play-doh. I love the fun. I love the creative process. I love the smell… Except I distinctly remember that it smelled MUCH better in the 1970s, but it still smells good.  So good that they invented Play-doh perfume*.  So good that it is out of stock. *sigh* Over the [...]

Rhett looking up in pool

This week is one that has been talked about for the better half of the winter. It is the week of the magical swimming lessons. Magical because the kids actually look forward to them. I love it because it is in a neighbor’s backyard pool.  I take up a whole block of lessons with all [...]

Rhett reaching into a pond

We are into week 42 of summer in my head.  In real life it is closer to week 5. BUT because I am an extremely attentive mother or thrive on cheap and easy entertainment the boys all do about 45 minutes of “schoolwork” prior to any DS, TV or Wii. It is cruel and unusual [...]

Potluck are on Mondays badge

It really seems like it has been a month of Mondays… Someone should really write THAT song. This summer has been the perfect storm for avoiding being online.  Seriously, it has been hard to squeak in a few minutes here and there.  It is easy for me when blog-Stedman is working because then I have [...]
