mr. potatocroc

December 29, 2010

The homemade applesauce recipe is so easy, it only has 3 ingredients… How to Make Homemade Applesauce: 1. Wash [...]

fear of paradise

December 21, 2010

We are staying home for Christmas. It is always that way since blog-Stedman doesn’t usually get the day off let alone the weekend. We make it work. We have been looking casually at places we could visit in the spring after the boys get out of school… Florida. Hawaii. Lake Tahoe. It has been a [...]

December 20, 2010

Oh ya. We are down to counting our fingers on one hand until Christmas. The excitement is building. The boys have been out of school for almost a week. *hold me* It is time to take a little break for two reasons… It is Monday. It is Potluck. And now for a little story… We [...]

December 18, 2010

Here is one of the reasons I have NO PROBLEM spending $34.99 on a Lego Advent Calendar: Day 17 of the Lego City calendar contained what we thought might be a fancy lamp post until we got Lego naked Santa on day 18. Genius. I am hoping day 19 will be a red suit. More [...]

wolf! wolf!

December 17, 2010

It was 9:15 this morning and I was sitting at my computer answering some emails. I looked out the window and saw a man in a stocking cap with his coat lapels up walking across my backyard. A strange man. A stranger. I watched as he wandered back by the fence for a few minutes [...]

stinky feet

December 14, 2010

This morning I was packing Reid’s school lunch while Rhett(4) was eating his oatmeal. I put in his thermos of water. I added his snack. In went his sandwich and drink. I grabbed a small pre-packaged bag of fruit snacks for dessert and was about to place it in the lunch box when Rhett said, [...]

December 13, 2010

Everywhere I go! Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Potluck Toys in every store But the prettiest sight to see is the HOLLY that will be On your own front door. That kinda sounds like I [...]

i made a list and checked it twice

December 12, 2010

I am really excited to be participating today over at Tip Junkie’s Top 10 Holiday Trends. When my dear friend, Laurie, asked me to choose a topic, I was a bit stumped. I am not particularly crafty. I am not known for amazing holiday parties. I barely get the Christmas tree decorated. Then I remembered [...]

spelling for boys

December 10, 2010

My boys have recently become excited about spelling. Not only are they self-initiating lessons and teaching each other, but they seem to have really good attitudes about it. Often I will hear them spelling to each other and then giggling uncontrollably. What has them so enthusiastic? The letter P. Mom, how do you spell iCup? [...]
