Category Archives: Uncategorizedthat green camper isn’t looking too bad now! OH…can you imagine that life? don’t worry craig… but something about it sounds wild and dreamy. some pretties from my mother’s day…
craig and the kids made lunch for me and craig’s mother. hope everyone else had a day to relax and feel blessed. Well, we kind of celebrated Mother’s Day. Not as lovely as yours, though. We kind of put it off until another day as we had too much to do! I started moving my bedroom upstairs to our third floor. It really was like moving to a new house. My daughter’s stuff going downstairs, couches going downstairs, and our bed and clothes going up! It was exhausting, but I love it up here away from the kids! Things are still in chaos, but it was fun to work hard and get all of our stuff at least on the right floor. I got the same gift! Lunch at home (I hate nothing more than crowded restaurants and hungry children) and a LONG nap! Who would have guessed something so simple could make a mom SO happy! Glad you had a nice day. happy mother’s day! i love the card that says “you rock mom!” that’s when you know you are loved. Sound like you had a perfect mothers day….well deserved. So glad you had a good one!
10 years old.
he asked for only money this year.
and that’s what he got!
this is a PSP (for the grandma’s).
happy birthday scott! *he was born on mother’s day 10 years ago. I had a baby on Mother’s Day too. She took 8 hrs coming and was a huge surprise. She came one month early. I’m guessing she didn’t like the dinner her Dad too me to eat at Red Lobster. She hates seafood. That was almost 21yrs ago and she’s still the best Mother’s Day gift I’ve ever received. Looks like Scott had a great day. And looks like he enjoyed the card I made. Did you make that Jayhawk cake? It’s very good. I have a May 11 baby. So fun to share a Mother’s Day with a birthday. oh, happy birth day to you, too. What a sweet post! Happy birthday to your double digit boy! WOW…a baby boy on mothers day…WHAT A GIFT!!! Im no where near being a grandma (only 39) and didnt know what a psp was..lol..what we are electronically reject.lol Happy Birthday to Scott… he is a cutie! how fun that shopping was! happy birthday scott. have fun with your psp!! at wal-mart yesterday annie: Why is everybody ‘wookin’ at me?! me: because you are cute to look at. stomping her flip flops…. annie: I’M NOT CUTE!! I AM A-DOR-ABLE!!!! which of course made everyone around us giggle. **************************************************
do you think this camper has a mechanical arm for feeding? i’m sure our neighbors wouldn’t mind and this is not a camper? ******************************************************
this was pretty sweet…from far away. ******************************************************* it’s been so nice outside that we have
such easy entertainment. **************************************** I wanna come play in your yard…….and then go for a walk around the block to gaze at the beautiful homes. Glad you stayed away from those nasty birds. 😉 I so enjoy your blog & read it daily. Found you through Crystal. oh bubbles rock…the best fun ever… yeah, maybe they tricked out the inside of the bus. the geese are so cute, but you are right, they are mean. love the picture of talby and the bubble – very cute. adorable… for sure! Never seen a green camper in my life…cool! I love the picture of your little girl with the bubble, you should enter that in a contest, it is that good. I think that would look totally classy parked in front of your house! Then you could train your kids to sing and go on tour in it :)! i totally want that camper! its my shade of green. it would just blend into the scenery dont ya think. I think you should totally buy that camper. I don’t think the neighbors would mind at all! I can see it now… the craft room (soon-to-be-bathroom) has this little window
and the same shot today
and a new closet is framed out
and there is a wall between the bathroom and craft room…
it’s moving right along. it’s moving right along. thanks for updating us on the project. Looks like fun , to make new spaces, I am looking forward to my deck as a new room as you said. Was your craft room originally a porch? Closets in old houses very frequently had windows in them. This was because people didn’t wash their clothes very often before the invention of washing machines. So they would leave the windows open in the closets to air out the clothes. So maybe your window originally opened to the outside when the house was built? Just a guess, but kind of makes sense. Can’t wait to see the finished product! Love the updates! Wow…looks like a lot of work. BTW…I linked you from my page today because I used your stuffed shell recipe…AGAIN. Love it. Thanks for being so creative! Hurry up and get that room done I want to see it LOL… Why oh why is it is mothers instinct to catch vomit in our hands? Doesn’t that seem cruel to you? I guess it beats cleaning it out of the carpet?! Thanks for the update. It was hard to imagine that second bathroom space. Now I get it! And the craft room will still be big enough. GREAT JOB. HOW EXCITING!!! Would love to know what that little window was for???
can you tell that i am trying to eat better? chocolate….i love you. Not fair to do to a pregnant woman. I think I’ll bake myself a batch today. I might even be willing to share with my daughter. If she’s lucky! 😉 jill you are so right! You know… there is nothing like a HOMEMADE cupcake. It just takes you back in time, doesn’t it? I will not, I repeat, will not eat a storebought cupcake. Gag me with a spoon! You gotta have the old school cupcake with a gi-normous glass of ice cold “whole” milk!! Come to Mama! That’s what I’m talkin’ about… 🙂 ~Jill Oh, you’re in good company sister! I’ve been trying my best to work out everyday and only eat sweets on the weekend. TCBY is CALLING my name every night around 9:00. 🙂 they look scrumptious. i don’t make evil things like that because i would eat them all in no time flat. Hey… I’m Kristin Neufeld Epp’s sister-in-law.. Great photo…..even better, cupcakes!!!!!! Mmmm… Gee..thanks…now I’m craving chocolate cupcakes! Did someone say eat…..I could eat everyone of those cupcakes..can you share? Same thing happens to me. I go on a diet and I crave Mars bars. And I don’t even like them. Ooohh..chocolate; …ohh..starbucks; maybe someday I can have these again. But the diet is going well. Hope you can stick to your eating healthy! never fails… jenn – mmmmmmm…………..I will be down – save me one. Jenn Glad to see you today and I also love the 365 pictures!
what better way to start the morning the perfect morning turned into a very good day.
froo-froo coffee….yum.
a stop at the park
a peek at the old train
we searched for A’s all over town.
you know we have to stop for this.
and waiting on a train…again. i was determined to be in the moment with annie. You captured the day in perfect detail. What sweet memories these will bring someday! She is such a doll. Love those little feet on the swing! I love downtowns, even better when they have hidden treasures. Sounds like you two had a super day with great photographs capturing all the best bits. what a day with mom. memories like that are the ones they hold close! Okay… Jillism #459. I posted twice thinking I failed the “word verification” test, only to realize that my posts were showing up at the top, not the bottom. Sorry Meg… I’m just hogging up your comment area. Just delete any duplicates for me. 🙂 ~Jill I need that froo froo coffee right now! Great pics, Meg. I’m in the mood to go antiquing. That bathroom chandelier rocks!! ~Jill what a wonderful day for you and annie. there are times when i miss living in town and this is one of them. i love that you can walk all over town and pay your bills and stop for coffee never once getting in your car. i kind of miss that. cute pictures too! I love the pic of Annie and her coffee/looks like an ice cream drink!! AND the picture of her little piggies showing!! I loved the Pics of the boys with the KU shaved in their heads…Where do you live in Kansas? I lived in Kansas City for 15 years/Mission Hills off of the plaza for 5 yrs…Kansas City is one of the best places on earth!! We miss it a ton! Precious, precious every bit of it. I’m sure tired or not, the memories of a mom who loves you stick with you. Good job! The chandelier is beautiful….Can’t wait to see where you put it. I love the picture of your little girl swinging and all you see is her feet….Thanks a bunch for sharing the paint info.. I just love when people share their wonderful finds and that paint color is wonderful You inspire me to take pictures of the everyday things! i love that! Don’t worry – you are a mom that will always be those kids best friends!! i want to see the picture of YOU taking the picture of Annie under the swing. ha ha. I missed you last weekend…but i had fun with your big sister… What a fun day. I think I’d find a place for that red lamp. It’s very spunky. And you’ll have to post a picture of that chandelier up. a chandelier on my frontsteps would make me VERY HAPPY too!!! Just the thought of it in your bathroom makes me want to see the finished bath NOW..lol |

cynthia - my camper would be decorated to the “t” and i would be so thankful for a family of three!
ngaire Bartlam - I adore the indie spirit.. but i KNOW I wouldnt cope with that whole thing.. I would love to see the movie of some who did though.

Jennifer P. - My mom bought her motorhome from a family that spent a year traveling around in it and seeing the United States. My mom said they all looked very tired and the kids wouldn’t stop picking on eachother ;)! You’re right though, it does SOUND nice!
Loved all your mothers day goodies! Happy belated mamas day to you!
Amy - hhmmm? I posted a comment but it disappeared… ; )
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting…it’s fun finding your blog! Cute family!
The whole concept sounds like a great idea…but I don’t know if I could really do it!
Although, we did live with our in-laws for two years…does that count?
Amy - Thanks for the comment yesterday…fun finding your blog!
Love the idea…don’t know if we could go through with it…wow!
Although, we did live with my in-laws for two years…does that count as brave?
Mrs. Fox - There is something appealing about it. Maybe some of us having gypsy souls. 🙂
carissa - i would have no hair!!!
what a fun clip… glad you shared!
Liz - Whoa. I remember hating going camping in our pop-up … but we werent even close to this. 🙂
melissa @ the inspired room - You know, 10 years ago I would’ve laughed and said no way. Somehow, it sounds strangely appealing to me right now. I have many dreams of escaping. That is kind of scary. Maybe buying a camper is a good solution.
🙂
Happy day,
Melissa
Sara - you know, it does sound appealing in a “lets try it for a week or two” kind of way…but maybe its the kind of thing you’d have to commit to for at least a few months to really “feel” like you were living the spontaneous life. Enzo would love it, Lilly would love it, husband would hate it.
Kimba @ A Soft Place to Land - Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Nice to “meet” you. I’ve been reading your blog and really enjoying. You have a great family. I’ll be back.
Kim
meg duerksen - so…all my kids would be in the “other” camper right?
🙂 HA.
what’s TDY?
it really does sound like an exciting life.
i do have just a hint of hippie in me. it could be brought out if i was in a different place in my life. but for now…i like my make-up and jewelry and computer and house.
it would be quite an experience.
definitely more of a life-style than a long trip.
i’m with jerusalem…let’s just go camping more…or at least let’s go once.
southernseven - I think it would be fabulous. We have gone TDY with my husband and spent 8 weeks with 5 kids in a hotel room. I brought an electric skillet, had a microwave and small frige, and cooked in the room. It was a blast. We applied to go to Germany. I wasn’t planning on taking anything furniture wise. I wanted to just rent and buy functional IKEA furniture and spend our money traveling. I would love it. I have always dreamed of traveling the US in a RV. Come on, we could go together and put the bad kids in the “other” camper- or tie them to the roof!
Jill (One Wired Woman) - Oh… how did you find this? I need to see this! I’m the baby of seven children and I can’t imagine living in that small camper. We lived in a decent sized house and it was still crowded. What am I saying… I was the seventh and last, way behind the others so I was like an only child. I only lived with my two youngest brothers. 🙂 I won’t to see this documentary!!!!! You post the coolest things. I’ve got blog envy. 🙂 Hugs, Jill 🙂
traci - LOL..I would need a MUCH BIGGER camper than what that guy had…jeeeesh, thats a lot of kids in a tiny space..yowzers.
I think the experiences would be awesome but I need a “home” and stability. Not a hippie/nomad bone in my body…Im a big time NESTER.
jerusalem - I am with you, part of me is like “that is it! let’s do it!” and part of me is like “well, maybe we could at least go camping more.” But I love the indie spirit, was raised with some of that myself…Thanks for sharing – can’t wait to see it!
