TGIF

April 27, 2007 by Alison Hodgson 3 Comments

Here we are trying to take a nice family picture. Christopher is on his mark. Lydia is offstage fluffing her hair or something. Eden seems to be feeling disenfranchised for one reason or another which may have motivated her next move which was to get up and tap the laptop.

I was concerned.
Having been encouraged to come back in the picture, she jumped at us and hit the wall.

Here she is working through the pain.


Paul is due home in 5 minutes, not that I am counting or anything, which is really a miracle as this has been one of those days that the OCD would flair up in anyone.

Three Things Thursday

April 27, 2007 by Alison Hodgson 2 Comments

*LATE EDITION *

Three wondrous things that Christopher said this week:

1. “Mom, thank you for teaching me to talk and read.” (Tuesday, while sitting in the gazebo doing math.)

2. “Thanks for homeschooling me, Mom.” (Thursday, while walking to put away a book.)

3. “My mother, who works so hard for me and does so many things that I forget to thank her for, and to whom I promise to do whatever chores need to be done and I won’t even whine.”

(Thursday afternoon while sitting at the island reading his MUSE magazine. He was answering the question in a money quiz: “If I were designing a new dollar bill and could put a portrait on it, I would choose…

a. My dog.
b. My hamster.
c. My mother, who works so hard…
d. Me.
e. Oh, all RIGHT. My Mother.

He had circled “d”, only to erase it and circle “c”, he later erased that and finally settled on “a”, which I can’t dispute.)

15 weeks

It is really hard to take a picture of a black dog with black eyes.
This Friday we will have had him for three weeks. He is starting to grow into those big paws. I just looked out the window and noticed that he is chewing on an empty plastic 4-pack that held some annuals Eden and I planted.

*sighs, as she gets up to go take it away and give him a real chew toy*

That would be chocolate AND dirt on this pretty little face.
“Do ya like the arms?” She asked.
“Love em!” I said.
