Menu plan Monday: Rockford takes over

I felt rotten when I went to bed Friday night (I think it was just a bad allergy attack). On Saturday morning, Rockford nudged me and said, “I’m going to take the kids to the grocery so you can sleep in.” So I said, “Narmumphblargh” and rolled over and went back to sleep. I didn’t

Six kids. One photoshoot.

I’ve been trying to take a good portrait of The Grandkids for my in-laws for years. It was hard enough to get a photo where no one was making a weird face when there were only three kids. Now that there are six of them, I’d assumed it would be impossible.

“Good idea,” I said. So I got

BusyBusyBusy

Poppy is a big fan of Sandra Boynton’s work. She loves to go to the Boynton site and “look at the little books with Grandma,” who introduced her to the nonsensical books and music. The songs are great fun. One in particular seems most appropriate today. I didn’t think I had all that much on

Birthday surprise

We celebrated my mother-in-law’s birthday with a surprise party at our place this weekend. The apartment is a little small for a gathering of 6 kids and 12 adults, but it went swimmingly anyway.
