7 Quick Takes: January 21, 2012 (Vol. 109)

~ 1 ~ This week, Molly said, “Let’s push up the ceiling!” I had to ask, “Is that like ‘Let’s raise the roof?’” These kids crack me up! ~ 2 ~ After a lot of thought and trying a couple of languages in our homeschooling, we’ve finally decided to go with the homeschooling cliche and [...]

7 Quick Takes: January 7, 2012 (Vol. 107)

~ 1 ~ I would say that I held off an extra day to write my “7 Quick Takes” because I wanted my 107th edition of 7 Quick Takes to be on January 7th instead of the 6th.  But, alas, I’m not a good liar.  (I never have been, and my Mom says that’s not [...]

7 Quick Takes: December 23, 2011 (Vol. 105)

~ 1 ~ Apparently I needed a vacation from my Disney World vacation, as I have spent all week just trying to get caught back up.  I feel like things are (maybe) finally getting back to normal. I also feel like I would like to start planning our next trip to Disney World.  Oh my [...]

7 Quick Takes: October 14, 2011 (Vol. 100)

~ 1 ~ Really?  This is volume 100? That’s like having done seven quick takes every week for two years, although I know that I’ve missed some weeks, so I have obviously done it for more than two years. Crazy! Here’s to two more years of seven quick takes! ~ 2 ~   At least [...]

Jack Gives Mad Props to C.S. Lewis

I mentioned briefly that we’ve been listening to The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis.  This has been a really wonderful experience for us (for a couple different reasons), as I’ll share more about later. But, one of the things that cracked me up about the whole thing happened when we were in the van the [...]

7 Quick Takes: August 5, 2011 (Vol. 91)

~ 1 ~ Do you know why I’m so crazy about my husband?  Well, of course, there’s not just one reason.  But, tonight was a great example of what a great guy Eric is.  He knew I was stressed out that my craft room has (yet again) become a disaster area, especially when we were [...]

7 Quick Takes: July 1, 2011 (Vol. 86)

~ 1 ~ When we went out of town recently to visit my Grandpa and the rest of my family, I noticed a small Bible on the dresser in the master bedroom.  It had a zipper around it to keep it shut, so I had to unzip it to check it out.  It was then [...]

7 Quick Takes: June 24, 2011 (Vol. 85)

~ 1 ~ Molly got a new Littlest Pet Shop Blythe doll this week.  She loved this one and declared that she looked very “country.”  But, then the poor doll had a problem, we later learned.  How did we find this out, you might ask? Molly began performing a song (she loves making up songs) [...]

She’s Been Waiting Her Whole Life for This

The other day, as we took a walk with the kids and discussed their homeschooling, their grade levels came up in the discussion.  I told them that since we were finished with the school year, they were each technically in the next grade up now. I told them, “So, that means Noah is in sixth [...]

Brrr…That’s One Cold Treat

Noah got to try a new taste treat thanks to an overnight with Grandma and Papa. As we picked him up, he was so excited to tell us about it.  He told us that it was like ice cream and that it has been from Wendy’s. “It was a snowflakey!” he proclaimed. With a quizzical [...]
