It's About to Get Loud...er.

Because we're spending more time outside, and the outdoors is great for shouting!

Because Luke graduated preschool and we are preparing to homeschool starting in the Fall.

Because little boys insist on picking dandelions for their mother and slamming the back door every time they bring me some more.

Because of home made ice cream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!

Because the neighborhood boys found our stash of scrap lumber.

Because Seamus wants to be a big boy so badly.

Because this kid will try anything.

Because we're expecting Thiessen Number 5.

In approximately 31 weeks.

Keeping up with the Joneses

Can you tell what this is out my dining room window?  

I'm frightened.  

Not because I'm scared of the injury that may be inflicted upon my child on such a contraption,  but because my child will be able to see it from my dining room window.  Can you guess what he's going to ask for for his birthday?  Can you guess what he's going to want to do everyday from now until snowfall?  Can you guess what the first words out of his mouth every morning will be?  Can you guess what will interrupt our mealtimes with pleas to go play with the neighbors?  Can you guess where I will find my child when I call for him and he doesn't answer?  

I can.

I'm frightened.
