Eeeek.

Seriously.

I'm scared of all the things I need to accomplish in the next few days.

And of course, I was planning a hugely productive day of errand running, and I have a sick child.

So I'm home instead.

Still working hard, getting stuff done.

Just not really accomplishing what I had hoped to today.

I've got lots of great pictures to share from the weekend still... we just had such a nice time. And here it is Wednesday. Ah well.

I'll pop a few in at the end of this post and we'll go from there, eh?

The other night at the dinner table the kids and I were asking 'either/or' questions of each other. It helps makes dinner a fun time for all of us - especially when Asia is gone.

So I asked K. a question. And he answered it, then it was his turn to ask someone.

"E. - would you rather," he paused while he tried to think of a good one...

"Would you rather marry Elise and live under the sea..."

E. giggles at the thought...

K. continues, "or marry Lena and live with a bunch of pigs?"

(Both are sweet little girls from our bible study group - E. has proclaimed himself smitten with both of them on occasion.)

E. took a deep breath.
"Ooh. That's a hard one..." he is visibly struggling and wants to answer the question carefully.

"That's a hard one," he repeats, "because I really like pigs..."

Time to go pick up the one healthy kid who's coming home after school today.


First, though, some more pictures as promised.

Cheers, friends.

    This is great because now you have a wonderful selection of photos to use in your HOF entry. (hint hint)

Somebody got a new toy...

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
