7 Quick Takes: May 28, 2010 (Vol. 40)

~ 1 ~ Quite a while ago, Eric suggested to me that I might like a cordless mouse.  I’m a creature of habit and told him it wasn’t a big deal, and I preferred my wired mouse.  I came around to the idea recently though, and he surprised me with a great Logitech optical wireless [...]

Why Noah Had Difficulty with Ode to Joy

One of the first real songs (other than “Hot Cross Buns”) that we all recognized that both of the boys played was “Ode to Joy.”  It’s a song that I have loved for a long time, so it was fun for everyone. Now that Noah is in the next set of piano books, he has [...]

Ten Things I Want to Do This Summer

I am excited to participate in Oh Amanda’s Top Ten Tuesday again this week.  Apparently once I talked about what I needed to talk about, I just can’t stop talking now. We finished out last day of school on Friday, and I’m looking toward what I plan to get done this summer. 1. Come up [...]

The Three Day Trip that Took Ten Days

Ten days ago, I left for a three day trip that I had been planning for a few weeks.  As a matter of fact, it was planned just after we took the trip that I talked about in this post.   I know that I will be back soon to talk more about this, but I [...]

A Comedy of Errors (But I Would Do It Again)

Last month, the kids and I went on our first overnight trip without Eric. Not only did this involve a long drive with just the four of us, but it also involved a two night hotel stay.  It was very weird leaving Eric behind, and he was pretty excited when we got home. We ended [...]
