Wednesday, April 9, 2014. From the mouth of Will. Will announced this to me today, "When I am 4 years old, I will be a teenager.". As I was tucking in Will tonight, I reminded him that he'll always be my boy, even when he is a man. That's when he hits me with this one:. But mom, when I am older I will move away and get a new house, a wedding ring, and a woman.". Coming to me with a concerned look, Will asked. Are my lips chipped, mom? I mean chopped, Are my lips chopped, mom? No You mean chapped? I am Ma...

coffeewithkrista: Burgerville with little rascals -- Part 1 (this is my incentive to create a part 2)
http://coffeewithkrista.blogspot.com/2014/03/burgerville-with-little-rascals-part-1.html
Saturday, March 29, 2014. Burgerville with little rascals - Part 1 (this is my incentive to create a part 2). This mothering thing is kicking my butt. I drove my boys home from Anacortes earlier this week, which is kind of like running a marathon with your kids. You must plan and prepare, load up on food, think about your strategy, and make sure you go the bathroom right before you start. Anyways, you can imagine how thankful I was when this time we found the bathroom empty. Then while I was going to bat...

coffeewithkrista: February 2013
http://coffeewithkrista.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 14, 2013. The Peace of the Wild Things. When despair for the world grows in me. And I wake in the night at the least sound. In fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,. I go and lie down where the wood drake. Rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things. Who do not tax their lives with forethought. Of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars. Meanwhile longing for the future,...

http://coffeewithkrista.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 11, 2013. On the picnic table. That is where I found them. Standing on the top of the picnic table, jumping up and down. Both boys, one 3 and a half, the other 13 months. I had only turned my back for a minute. maybe two minutes? And all I could think about was that Will was barely walking at 13 months. First Day of Preschool. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What I might be up to. Books I'm looking forward to reading. Christians at the Border. The New Jim Crow. What I've read lately. The dist...

Wednesday, January 16, 2013. From the mouth of Will. Picture commemorating our recent trip to Pike's Place and Will's first official hot mini donut). After getting up from his nap. The big bad wolf is sleeping. Sleeping right next to me. He has sharp teeth.". Are you scared of him? No, he is my friend.". Will is learning about friends and he asks me at random, "Are you my friend, mama? I usually say yes, but sometimes I say "No, I am your mama.". But anyways- -his quote. It's my best friend, mama.".

Saturday, June 1, 2013. The first time Will and Lance laid out in the grass reading this year. His first official cat scratch (about time, I'd say). The first day they really played together- chasing each other around the house. The first time Will asked me to cut a rose for his room (see the top shelf). The first time we read books from his new book sling. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What I might be up to. Books I'm looking forward to reading. Christians at the Border. The New Jim Crow.

http://coffeewithkrista.blogspot.com/2015/01/after-this-long-intermission.html
Thursday, January 15, 2015. After this long intermission. I'm back. And I feel old or at least older. Maybe it's the intensely hipster bar that I'm sitting in at the moment having a "mommy break." Or maybe it's because my brother-in-law was at a work meeting for his tech company in Seattle when he realized I used to babysit one of his coworkers. Like legitimately babysit- his coworker was like 4 years old and I was nearly out of high school. Anyways. that is not what I want to write about. I'm trying to ...
