Kennedy’s school sold cookie dough for their final fundraiser.  It’s a popular one that many schools do, probably because the school makes 50% profit on each item sold.  I think it’s popular because little balls of dough…who doesn’t love little pre-made cookie dough.?  It’s convenient, tasty, and you only make as many as you need.
We […]

We went to mass this morning in Stroud, since all of Mom’s house guests were still in town.  There are so many of us that we don’t all fit in one pew anymore, which is even more remarkable because Nate’s family wasn’t there and neither were Sarah’s three older kids.  The little ones played musical […]

Today we had our Thanksgiving dinner on the Davis side at my parent’s house in Stroud.  Kennedy went to stay last night because all of the cousins were down, and Stroud’s football team hosted the third round of playoffs.  (They won.)  I had intended to go, but a long day Thursday and baking, cleaning, etc. […]

My mother said to bring rolls to Thanksgiving lunch on Saturday.  I decided that I needed to make them from scratch.  I decided to do a practice batch on Wednesday.  K. didn’t really understand the need for that; she thought it was way too early to be making rolls.  So, I got the […]

I am grateful for so many things this year.  Although we don’t get to build our dream house, and I whine about it incessantly, I know that my family is blessed beyond belief.  My hubs has been working particularly hard lately, and he’s been doing tons of laundry, cooking and some Discover OK […]

We took Rylee, K’s friend, to Unpluggits for a belated birthday present/celebration.  The girls had a grand time, playing on the indoor playground and pirate ship, painting at the easels, and stamping paper with huge ink pads and stamps.  They are at the upper age, I would say, for this outing.  Most of the kids […]

Walt’s mom is out of surgery and apparently everything went okay. They put a plate in her arm, but that’s really all I know since Walter isn’t home yet. I’m sure he’ll fill us in more later.
Tonight Kennedy had a Girl Scouts meeting. She got her sash, with her troop number ready to be ironed […]

Kennedy’s skin is very sensitive; mine is, too, I guess.  We both get red whenever we are hot.  Just touching our necks leaves a red mark.  Anyway, a few nights ago, K. woke up with raised, red bumps that looked kind of like ant bites.  The next day, even more.  I washed all of her […]

Kennedy’s team, the Cubs, had their first scrimmage today.  They lost, but I think they had fun.  I learned how to keep score, and Walt watched over my shoulder so that he can take his turn at it sometime.  Seven little girls showed up, and I think that is just about the perfect number.  The […]

Granny and Sarah picked me up today to go Christmas shopping in an area around OKC today.  I’m being deliberately vague because it was a gift for Papa.  Granny printed out directions and I entered the address into my handy-dandy Iphone, which is equipped with a GPS.  Well, things didn’t go exactly as planned; we […]
