My newest addition
This is little Eggmond, he’s only 2 days old, but soon he’ll have a full head of luscious wheat grass hair. Lexi made two egg heads but she’s refused to allow me to photograph them because she wants to post them on her blog. For some reason I thought this project would be a little [...]
Sick, bored and tired
I hate being sick. Physical symptoms of the flu aside, I get this antsy feeling because I’m not doing anything other than taking periodic swigs of cough syrup and popping ibuprofin along with minimal housekeeping duties. I know myself well enough to know that I am not in the right state of mind to start [...]
Enchanted Forest
Just outside of Salem Oregon is one of the great wonders of the Pacific Northwest. It’s called the Enchanted Forest. This is not just an amusement park. There are rides, but the main attractions are fairytale and western themed walk throughs, mazes, tunnels, and slides and tons to see so the kids actually end up [...]
It’s the birthday!
Today is Lexi’s birthday, the Lex monster is 5 years old. Right now she’s celebrating by eating a small box of white chocolate. 5 year old + sugar= oh dear what have I done!? Her birthday party was on the 2nd, so today is more or less going to be a quiet affair with some [...]
He spins!
I brought the Traveler out and cozied myself up next to the fire to spin some BFL and Josey asked if he could use the Traddy. Does a bear live in the woods? He armed himself with some wool, I set the drive band and tension for him, put a drop of oil on the [...]
Oh, the agony of de feet
A few days ago I managed to stub my toe with such force that I split the toe nail down to the cuticle. Right near the middle of the nail too. If you live within a 3000 mile radius of my house it’s possible that you heard a string of profane observations on the character [...]
I am restless and I own Modge Podge
One of the great traditions in our home is the tooth fairy box. That’s right. No pillows to find in darkened rooms, the convenient tooth fairy box hangs oh-so-nicely on the bedroom door because, oddly enough, the tooth fairy hands out extra bling if she doesn’t risk exposure or steps on tiny extremely painful Lego [...]
Humans of Earth
“We come in pieces. Take us to your litter.” My husband said “Someone took all the sunshine and tubby toast and left these dead bodies.” Lexi said “Ok, my kitties.” Josey said “Why don’t they have tails?” Greta says “…” And that about sums it up doesn’t it?
Happy Father’s Day
Soul Calibur marathons really are something special here in the Meyer household. Look at the love between father and son. Here is the boy-child, note his father’s shiny pate in the background. Perhaps this is the very moment where his character says something charming like “Die already.” Doesn’t that just warm the cockles of you [...]
