It's Over...

Football that is! I am sorry for the players that wanted to go further in the playoffs but happy happy happy to get back to "normal" around here. I am glad that we will once again share dinner together and have evenings together as a family. Phil is such a huge support to me and I have missed him greatly these past few months.

I forgot to mention that we have a crawler! Evi can slowly make her way to just about anywhere she would like to go. She has already discovered the baskets in the coffee table. Time to learn "no" and "don't touch". My how this time has flown by. Next month, she will be a one year old.

Two year olds dressing themselves can be an adventure. Jubilee put on a pair of pants that kept falling down so I asked her to go into her room and change them. I followed up and found her wearing a new pair, backwards. I had her take them off and discovered that her underwear had disappeared as well. She had no idea where then went. I got out new undies for her and had her redo everything while I quickly went to make my bed. I checked in on her to discover that her pants were on inside out and backwards and her undies were on backwards as well. I had her take both off and decided I better supervise or we could be at this all day. I helped her into her undies and discovered her original ones up around her waist. They must have come off when she took the first pair of pants off and when she put them back on both legs went into the same leg hole and then were pulled up and under her shirt. Too Funny!!!

    Emily, one day when Kaleb was somewhere around 3 1/2, we were at a hardware store and he began to complain that his underwear was uncomfortable. When Craig investigated, we discovered that Kaleb had THREE pairs of underwear on! Upon further questioning, he innocently proclaimed, "But I DID put clean underwear on!!!". He had indeed, for three days. He just forgot to take the old ones off! Yes, follow up and assistance are pretty crucial:)

New Boots

Image
Last week, was snowy and cold cold cold, then rainy.  I continued to work on getting the yard cleaned up.  I dug out the ponds and refilled the holes with dirt.  I loaded up rocks, pavers, and bricks.  I cleaned out the water features.  I collected the strawberry runners so I would have starts to plant.  I unloaded 2 loads of bark dust.  The children were a tremendous help.  They loaded an entire trailer of firewood all by themselves and then helped with another load of rocks and bricks.  I am amazed at how much there is to load and fix just in the yard alone.  It is a lot of work for the simple concept of "curb" appeal.   Waiting for the snow to melt so I can put down the bark dust. Even with two pairs of socks, my feet were freezing so I broke down and bought a pair of Muck Boots.  The funny thing is, 2 years ago, I really wanted to have a new pair of winter boots but I just couldn't justify paying so much money just to have ...

Then Came Dense Fog and the Thunderstorm

Image
Sunday, I woke up to a dense fog and smoke cover combination.  I think this is probably the densest fog I have ever been in. Before the sun came up, it was white.  Once it got lighter outside the smoke color showed through. On the porch, looking toward the swimming pool (North) but unable to see it or the goat barn or the walnut trees. On the porch, looking toward the barn, only able to see the garden before the parking area. Outside the window looking at the tree block, barely 30 feet away. I am not sure how I let Phil talk me into (trying) going to the store...but the fog was supposed to lift by 11:00 and we were scheduled to gather at the Rawie's for church and I needed ingredients to put together something for the potluck.  (We ended up having to cancel our homechurch.) Our mailbox, we couldn't see any cars, so we had to roll down the windows and listen.  I was already terrified at this point and didn't want to continue. After having to slam on his brakes multipl...

More Hats

Image
The Etsy shop is still a work in progress and unfortunately the name Over the Top is already taken.  I have been tossing around the names Tip Top and Whimsy.  I managed to get 7 hats made during the month of November.  I have a couple that I can put on Etsy when we are ready to list them and several Christmas hats made for the children.  I have been timing how long it takes me to make a hat and I am surprised (and not in a good way LOL) at the number of hours I spend.  A baby hat takes over 5-6 hours, a child's hat takes about 7-8 hours, and an adult hat 10 plus hours.  It takes even longer if I decide to tear out the stitching because it isn't looking the way I had imagined.  The more yarn variety I use, the longer it takes me to weave in the ends.  I usually spend over an hour just with a tapestry needle making all the ends secure.  Minimum wage plus materials puts the hats in the 50-80 dollar range.  Yikes!  I would never pay th...
