Attitude Adjustment

mrscrumley — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:43:57 +0000

It is 7:30 and my boys (all three of them) are still sleeping. I don’t expect it to last much longer, but I’m hoping the extra time spent in snooze land will help our day run more on the smooth side than it has been lately. But as I sit here waiting for Fuller and [...]

Bridging the gap

Our little family is making it through the year 2012 so far. Hard to believe it is suddenly February! And since time moves fast and I can’t seem to find time to sit still, I have have also found it a little trickier to take care of myself. For instance, my mouth is currently needing [...]

Mother’s Day means ice cream

I had a kind of Mother’s Weekend, since the first gift I received was the gift of alone time, something I don’t get a ton of these days. While I was alone, the boys and their dad were out making my gifts, a flower pot project at Home Depot. Later that afternoon I left to [...]

Happy Easter!

We had a good day, starting with the church breakfast, worship, and moving on to an egg hunt at home. Hope your Easter was a good one. The pictures prove it!

Rainbows, gold, and Veggie Tales

Damon sent me out last night to pick something up for his office today. While making the drive I had the sudden inspiration that maybe I should “celebrate” St. Patrick’s Day in some form for my kids. It’s not that I don’t appreciate St. Patrick and his contribution to spreading the word of God, but [...]

This is how much fun we had

We got back from our annual trip to the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament yesterday and this year we came away from Atlanta feeling happy and well… not actually hating Atlanta. This year we changed up our vacation strategy by staying in a Bed and Breakfast which proved to save money and take away a ton [...]

World Read Aloud Day

mrscrumley — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 13:06:20 +0000

Thanks to my friend Drew, I found out about World Read Aloud Day today. Reading daily is just a part of our lives… I read Fuller his lessons, he reads a book to me almost every day, and Damon’s new kindle has sparked a father/son reading marathon of the Wizard of Oz books (I think [...]

The tide is high

Fuller at our recent Second Christmas dinner. Today we started our second semester of school. I had been prepping Fuller the last few days to get him in the mindset that Monday we would be back to school. I know I haven’t blogged much in general and even less about our homeschool efforts, which has [...]

Happy New Year

This photo was shot earlier this week, at the tail end of our family celebrations of the holidays. It is so full of happiness! Since Christmas has passed and a New Year has started, it’s time to think about our family, our goals, and hope of accomplishing anything. I’m not promising anything, but I’m hoping [...]

It actually happened :: Snow!

mrscrumley — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 05:15:53 +0000

Saturday morning the kids and I were in the car, listening to the radio. The weather report came on and Paul said the “S” word- snow. Fuller immediately perked up and asked about the snow mentioned in said forecast. I repeated the report, but gave the idea of snow that evening a rather dubious tone. [...]
