Brad and Claire: First Week
http://bradandclaire.blogspot.com/2014/08/first-week.html
Saturday, August 09, 2014. Oh my goodness - it was LAME CITY. But he loved it! I think part of this success was due to the fact that, with a new baby in the house this summer, the bar was set VERY LOW in the fun department. It doesn't take much to entertain or impress my kids these days. And Math. Oh my heart sinks. He is so like me - NOT a math person. It's going to be a long, harrrrd slog, I'm afraid. Oh well. At least he has a teacher who can sympathize. But there is a plus side to his being like me!

Brad and Claire: May 2010
http://bradandclaire.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. The Beginning of Summer. I saw a promotion by Ransomed Heart Ministry ( John Eldredge's ministry)where if you promised to read and blog about his new book about marriage, entitled "Love and War", that they would send you a free copy of the book. I was all "sign me up! And that made me think I should be more faithful in updating, no matter how mundane the posts. So - here's the latest from our world. That's it for now. Thursday, May 20, 2010. Reflections on my 32nd. Then I got a call...

Brad and Claire: December 2009
http://bradandclaire.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. Dial B for Booking. This morning I set Aiden in his crib for a few minutes to contain his early morning wildness while I was in the bathroom. I leaned over to ascertain the contents - if any- of his diaper.and groaned. My olfactory senses delivered bad news. But it had to wait for a few minutes. I was gone for maybe three or four minutes and when I returned, there stood Aiden in his crib, playing with MY CELLPHONE! I stood there aghast. How had he gotten my phone?

Brad and Claire: August 2014
http://bradandclaire.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 22, 2014. Highlights from Week #3. So we finally got to some GOOD STUFF in Social Studies this week, leaving behind those nebulous nomads and "early farmers" and Fertile Crescent stuff. Bleh- who needs those guys? This week we arrived at EGYPT! We went to the library on Tuesday and got out an armload of books. Oh, I was in heaven! It was amazing how that was an incentive to get his other work done the next day: we're going to make a pyramid after lunch! In other news, W cut her hair this w...

Brad and Claire: October 2014
http://bradandclaire.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 26, 2014. I am finding in my vast experience of approximately 3 months of homeschooling that some of the best activities are the ones I didn't plan. Like the topographical map of Egypt we made out of Legos. Or the puppet show about the Assyrian emperor where he decapitated the ( Lego) heads of those he conquered. Are you sensing a theme here? This homeschool venture made possible by Legos.) Whereas the activities provided in the text? Not so much. The paper mache mummy?

Brad and Claire: April 2010
http://bradandclaire.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. MY TRASH DAY HAS CHANGED! THEN, I got an automated PHONE CALL from them. OKAY. I GOT IT. So I put out my trash last Wednesday. Good grief, people. What is the big deal? And then, a couple days ago, I got yet another automated phone call. Hello! The change has already occurred, people. I passed the test. You can stop treating me like an imbecile. So guess who forgot to put out the trash this morning? Oh the great, momentous dramas of my life. Saturday, April 17, 2010. So now you...

Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Lessons my Son Taught Me (about how wrong I can be). Sometimes I think I have amnesia. Like the time I awoke about one o'clock in the morning and heard sounds of crashing and running coming from downstairs. Brad was beside me, asleep. I instantly concluded it was ROBBERS. Of course! And as I held the plum in my hand, I shook my head and said in a quiet, slightly exasperated tone, "Brad! Aiden looked up at me and said quite penitently, "I bite it, Mama." It reduced me to hyst...

Brad and Claire: June 2010
http://bradandclaire.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 20, 2010. Something New in the Way of Breakfast Food. I know that Solomon said that there was "no new thing under the sun." Not to refute willy-nilly the wisest man who ever lived, but I beg to differ - and I have proof. I think that there is something new under the sun sitting on my kitchen table - a breakfast concoction that I am sure has never before existed. I refuse to believe that there has ever before been a dish that contained oatmeal, green beans, and mini-marshmallows. As a lover o...

Brad and Claire: February 2010

Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Death and Taxes.for one more year. Tonight, we briefly watched a montage of some Olympic feats of wonderment, and then some commercials came on.and there was H and R Block, touting their tax expertise. I turned to Brad and said in a nostalgic tone of voice, "Awwww, this is the last year you'll be doing Grampa's taxes." And he looked at me and said, "Nope. He lived three days into this year.". I don't know why that made me want to laugh hySTERically. I LOVE that guy! It's fun...

Brad and Claire: July 2010
http://bradandclaire.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 25, 2010. Seven years with Brad. And it's funny because I used to think choleric people were borderline evil. and then I married one. I actually didn't even know he was choleric until I had already fallen in love with him. So the joke's on me, I guess. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Seven years with Brad.
