Juggling Time…
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Friday, June 7th 2013 under: Family, Garden, Home, Miscellaneous, Peanut
No one leave their comment yetOK… let’s see… the DW and I have slightly disappeared the last couple weeks. Just to dispel any rumors, we’re still here. We haven’t joined on as roadies for Sesame Street Live or hooked up with a traveling circus as the resident clown family in training… though the later might by fun for a few […]

The Swing Set Is Finished
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Friday, May 24th 2013 under: Family
No one leave their comment yetThe challenge of “two people 10 hours to assemble” the swing set didn’t turn out to be much of a challenge. After logging about four and a half hours between Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights the first week we brought it home Lulu and I had the swing set about 90% complete. It only took […]

Whatever it takes…

No one leave their comment yetWhatever it takes to get them into books early… I just hope she doesn’t think she’s picking out a premature birthday gift… Who could say no to that face?

The Swing Set…
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Wednesday, May 15th 2013 under: Family
No one leave their comment yetWe’ve been busy lately and any free time during the last week has been spent in the garden (more on that later), so I haven’t put any additional time in on the swing set. With just under 5 hours in, here’s where we’re at… Lulu’s tickled with the swing and the clubhouse so far. Once […]

Where’s The Slide?
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Tuesday, May 7th 2013 under: Family
No one leave their comment yetLulu has been asking for one thing since we moved. She was two at the time, so it started as “a park,” then “a playground,” and then once she figured out what she really wanted it boiled down to “Can we get a swing and a slide?” The DW and I had always planned on […]

The DW’s New Path
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Friday, May 3rd 2013 under: Family, Peanut
No one leave their comment yetIt’s probably the worst kept secret of the year, but the DW will be leaving her job on the last day of May to stay at home with the kiddos. There’s several reasons for it, but the main one is that Peanut is no where near ready to go to day-care with Lulu as originally […]

Update: Sending Potatoes To The Moon
Posted by The Dirt Road Home in Thursday, April 11th 2013 under: Family
No one leave their comment yetBack in February, I wrote about the first flight of Potato Boy’s first model rocket. Everything finally lined up that we could take another shot at things last weekend. Since that day back in February, Potato Boy’s collection has grown to three rockets – the solid black 36 inch rocket flown in February, as well […]

Kid-bytes…
Posted by The Dear Wife in Thursday, February 28th 2013 under: Family
No one leave their comment yetIf Bill Cosby’s “Kids Say The Darndest Things” show was still on TV…I’d have the perfect guest for him. Lulu. Okay, okay, I’m sure that every child at some point in their toddler years has said something that made their parent(s) think “what the heck did he/she just say”! Such is the case with our […]

Aged to perfection…9 years in the making
Posted by The Dear Wife in Sunday, February 24th 2013 under: Family
2 peoples responds in this postOkay, so no one is perfect, but nine is the perfect age for a boy (in my humble mom opinion). Nine-year-olds still snuggle, hold your hand in public, and freely give you hugs and kisses. [Sigh] I wish it could last forever! Our Potato Boy sure is the SWEETEST boy in world! Happy 9th birthday […]
