Wordy Wednesday: His Clubhouse

Eliza Ferree — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:08:18 +0000

Little A has three older siblings, two of which are girls and these two girls love their older brother to make them fortresses and such. By this I mean they beg SoccerBoy to hang their beautiful pink sheets and blankets from one door to the next in the hallway, they then take their bigger blankets and make a very soft bedding area and have their party. Normally this is done with little saucers with cookies and milk and teddy bears and dolls all lined up.

SoccerBoy doesn’t mind placing the sheets up but he says no thanks on playing the game. But it seems their youngest, Little A, is a bit more inventive and doesn’t believe in all the begging for hanging blankets. He simply emptied a drawer and went inside. This is how I actually found him. Got any kids like him? Happy WW! Link up to your wordless Wednesday post.

Wordy Wednesday: The Baby Hugs

Eliza Ferree — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:08:49 +0000

Don’t get me wrong I love to get hugs but this one just made me want to hug him all day. For some unknown reason he got the blues and just laid in my arms like this most of the day on Monday. Now I knew his sister would be feeling like this because she got her shots, but for him, he never got them. Either way, I quickly curled into him and he fell asleep soon after this.

Isn’t it amazing how they can be happy and content one moment and the next they are all emotional? Just shows how much these little guys really are like us. I believe seeing his sister get a shot was just too much for him. Happy WW! When was the last time you took that little one in your arms, sucked in really deep and just inhaled their scent?

Wordy Wednesday: He’s Cool

Eliza Ferree — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:42:06 +0000

It’s another Wednesday, which means we post our “Wordy Wednesday” photos for you. This past weekend we stopped off at our local IHOP and got ourselves some yummy breakfast. As you can

IMG: Elizabeth Ferree

see in the picture it was still dark but we had to do some shopping before leaving town, which meant an EARLY breakfast. For some reason they had the cooler on and people were inside wearing jackets, course since it is summer we don’t have those in the car. So we had to suck it up, the girls curled into me for body heat as they said and the hubby went to the car.

This picture was taken after the hubby and SoccerBoy brought in two blankets and two sweaters for the girls. Everyone was happy and as you can see Little A was definitely warm. It began storming right after this (downpour type) so we were lucky to have brought these inside. Gotta love how you can have somewhat clear skies and suddenly get a downpour. As for what we ate, the young ones all had the silver 5 and one funny face, I had the new Hawaiin pancakes with cream cheese in it.

Wordy Wednesday: The Slide

Eliza Ferree — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:00:26 +0000

How many of you have a child that absolutely loves the slide? I had three babies that loved the slide and a fourth that was terrified. Thinking of the slide reminds me of my

IMG: Elizabeth Ferree

first child’s 1st slide, he was just about to turn 2 so we got him his own little one. Course it was small enough that we could have it in the house or outside, which made it great when the weather was bad. But I remember he’d just sit on the top of that slide and read books, or pretend to anyways. Today, even though he’s 12 he still goes down but only on the big twisty ones and normally with one of his younger siblings.

Here’s a pic of the youngest going down the slide at the office picnic we went to last week. Doesn’t he look like he’s having a blast? You wouldn’t know a few minutes prior to this he’d fallen down and hurt himself. Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Wordy Wednesday: Pool Baby

Eliza Ferree — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:36:01 +0000

Yep, we got a swimming pool for the summer and as you can see the kids are just loving it. But we can’t seem to keep it up, it is suppose to be much bigger but I think it is leaking tons of water out of the little pump, not sure why. Any thoughts?

As you can see he was getting cold by this point but he sure was having fun with his two sisters. So since he is definitely a water boy I picture many hot summery days out in the yard. What do you think? Happy WW!

Wordy Wednesday: Missing Daddy

Eliza Ferree — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:40:04 +0000

For the past week Little A has been doing what a lot of military children deal with…a missing daddy. No, his daddy isn’t overseas but

IMG: Elizabeth Ferree

in military training, which for this little guy means daddy went away for work and hasn’t come home yet. While he has got to talk with him on the phone just about every night he seems to be struggling a bit with missing his favorite person. Thankfully we found our “Daddy Doll” from when their daddy did go to Iraq for the Marines and I had it made for the kids to hug when they missed him. As you can see, this doll works perfectly for that. The doll may not be able to tickle his tummy or play with him he can carry him around and sleep beside him.

Wordy Wednesday: Ice Cream Day

Eliza Ferree — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:03:44 +0000

With summer here…..just around the corner and kids getting out of school it only means one thing and that’s how to stay cool. One way is to have fun in the water, which kids love to do. Another is staying indoors with the air conditioner blowing or fans on. But my most favorite one of all is this……

IMG: Elizabeth Ferree

….eating ice cream. I swear this little boy knows just the right flavors to get too. Course he isn’t really picky but he tends to somehow end up with everyone’s flavor down his little tummy. This picture was taken one day before the older siblings got out of school, as you can see he was really enjoying it. Doesn’t it look good? Gotta love chocolate. Happy WW!

Wordy Wednesday: Graduation

Eliza Ferree — Wed, 27 May 2009 20:12:33 +0000

Yesterday I touched on this topic over at Blisstree Parenting. My son, he’s 12 just graduated from the 6th grade yesterday. He’s actually the oldest baby, yes I said baby, I think every mom still looks at each child as one of her babies. Am I right? You can still recall the day you brought them home, those first worrisome nights when you constantly checked to make sure their breathing was normal and they were still with you in the middle of the night. You may not admit it, but there are times, even as they get older that you’ll sneak a peek in their room when you walk through the house late at night.

Here’s my son at his preschool graduation, so many years ago. The memory is very fresh, he even had a painted pot to give to me.

Now check him out, still smiling for his mommy. Course this was done outside the school. Happy WW!

Momma’s Coffee Break Friday

Eliza Ferree — Fri, 22 May 2009 14:42:42 +0000

Can you believe it is Friday already? I bet many of you have weekend plans in honor of Memorial Day. How many of you will be traveling during the holiday or having a BBQ? We will definitely have a BBQ, in fact we did one just last night and plan another this Sunday. I can’t wait.

My own baby is going through the “Me” stage but not as the “it’s mine.” For example, I brought out two chairs and he claimed one, “Me” and sat in it. Another time he asked me something using “me” in reference to him. So apparently he has realized now that he is a little person and “me” is who he is. (Did that make any sense?)

As far as baby new stories go, I’m so happy to see that little Briant Rodriguez was not only found but alive and is back home with his parents and siblings. Sad news though about “Baby Angel” which was later discovered to have been murdered twice by his own mother. (shame)She suffocated him, revived him and decided no she did want him dead and did it again. Someone found the little boy buried in a playground.

So, it’s Friday and you don’t have to stay on topic you can chat about anything. Here are a few things to get you started just in case you think you have nothing to say:

-Officer Saves Baby Sea Lion: He/she was found on the expressway and safely brought to a marine center.

-Baby used as Weapon: An aunt uses her 2 month old nephew as a shield, tosses him at guards and runs off. Leaving him unconscious.

- Wordy Wednesday: I’ve been showing ya’ll the nest on my front porch, the birds finally flew out this week.

- 2nd baby dies from swine flu: Are you worried about it?

- 550 lb woman gives birth: I was shocked after reading most woman can’t get pregnant after a certain amount of weight. But more that the baby was only 4.4lbs.

Wordy Wednesday: The Birds Fly

Eliza Ferree — Wed, 20 May 2009 17:02:11 +0000

For the past month I’ve been showing you pics of eggs and such on here. Two weeks ago I showed you those eggs, from our front porch, finally hatched and out came these tiny little birds with barely any feathers. We’ve taken peeks at them every few days just to see, but we don’t stay long as the momma is heard chirping at the bottom of our stairs.

IMG: The Life of a Home Mom

Today, I got to watch one of the birds take their first flight. Woo hoo! She/he didn’t get far but they’ve never used their wings, she/he made it across the street. The momma hovering back and forth. I’m not sure if they’ll come back once they leave their nest but I’ve had fun watching them grow and so have the kids. Earlier I heard them chirping back and forth but that’s stopped now so either they are back in their nest or gone on. This makes me think of our own children once they learn everything needed for life, thank goodness it isn’t all done in a month right? Happy WW!
