Gym Girl’s Pumpkin
Soccer Boy’s Pumpkin
The Halloween conquerors have returned to the Suburban lair and are busily sorting out their haul, negotiating trades, and evaluating the evening. I’d say it was a great Halloween: mild weather, fun costumes, trick-or-treating with friends. Dancer Girl and Gym Girl went around the neighborhood on their own, meeting up with [...]

Our Halloween preparations hit full tilt tonight since Adventure Guy and the kids returned from their trip to Washington D. C. late yesterday evening. We had purchased pumpkins as part of our fall decorating efforts, but tonight was the official carving night.
Of course, things have changed since the kids were really little. We couldn’t begin [...]
House Guest
Posted by: LSM on: October 29, 2007
This evening our new house guest arrived. All-American High has an exchange program with a high school in China. The Chinese students visit for three weeks in the fall, and the two Chinese teachers stay for the entire first semester. Then, two teachers and a group of students from here travel to China for three weeks in [...]
My Dog Snores And Other Exciting Weekend News
Posted by: LSM on: October 28, 2007
As I lie in bed writing this entry, I have one miniature dacshund snuggled under the covers with me and one 85 lb. Labrador retriever snoring on the floor beside the bed. I am going to have to wake him up before I try to go to sleep myself. Adventure Guy snores at times too, but [...]
NaBloPoMo
Posted by: LSM on: October 28, 2007
I’m feeling the need to give a shout out to NaBloPoMo, which I have duly signed up for and even managed to post an icon for (thanks, Simone!) here on WordPress. Last year in November, I had so much fun reading all my friends’ blogs while they were striving to meet the goal of posting every day [...]
Lazy and Lovin’ It
Posted by: LSM on: October 27, 2007
I am almost embarrassed to report how little I did today. Though a dreaded “unknown caller” managed to wake me up at 10:00 a.m., I still managed to sleep in later than I have in a long time. Thanks to caller ID, I didn’t actually have to speak with the unknown caller, but I was [...]
The Weekend Awaits
Posted by: LSM on: October 26, 2007
I am spending the weekend alone. And I have earned it. As I mentioned in my last post about the great salt map project, Adventure Guy has taken the children to Washington D. C. with him. They left early this morning and will be back late Monday. Adventure Guy is running the Marine Corps marathon [...]

Note to those searching for information on how to make a salt map (which according to my blog stats is a suprisingly large number of people): I’ve included the instructions at the end of this post.
Just as the cobbler’s son was rumoured to have no shoes, Soccer Boy was in grave danger of having [...]
More New Mom Meal Ideas
Posted by: LSM on: October 24, 2007
One of the most popular search strings on this blog has been “meals to take to a new mother.” So, having several new moms in my Sunday school class generously provide me the opportunity to take them meals recently, I thought I’d share some more ideas.
The last time I cooked for a new mom, I [...]
