The thing that struck me though, was that he was wearing a large cold pack around his head. I asked, "Joseph, are you INJURED?"He replied, "no, I like cinnamon"http://maryhas6littlelambs.blogspot.com/2009/08/joseph-likes-cinnamon.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mary)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996274680281404087.post-7036066528588640399Thu, 06 Aug 2009 04:20:00 +00002009-08-05T22:35:28.737-06:00Growing up, Mom would wear "MuMu"s around the house. She had sewn most of them herself. They seemed very comfy and we were very used to her wearing them. John wore one once, as a child, and stood over the furnace vent, so that it ballooned out (there's a photo of it). However, when I "grew up", I didn't have a MuMu, and I never saw them in stores. When we lived in Arizona, I saw a neighbor http://maryhas6littlelambs.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-osfa.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mary)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996274680281404087.post-2896886064513112136Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:19:00 +00002009-08-10T11:06:39.343-06:00 The bravest battle that ever was fought!

I had no expectations for this show, but just got it to enjoy some "girl-movie-time" with my daughters.I actually really liked it. It has an important message in our spend-crazy world, even during economically trying times. I highly recommend it, at least if just a one-time-see.http://maryhas6littlelambs.blogspot.com/2009/07/confessions-of-shopaholic.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mary)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996274680281404087.post-8837457058099664128Mon, 27 Jul 2009 03:46:00 +00002009-07-26T21:49:26.681-06:00Well, you can see our family hasn't grown in number, but we are GROWING!

It was pretty crazy, but organized enough to stay sane (barely). Each child got a pillowcase upon coming. Each had a Cars character on it and the kids were divided into groups depending on who was on their pillowcase (Lightning, Mater,Red, or Fillmore-http://maryhas6littlelambs.blogspot.com/2008/06/matthews-birthday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mary)6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996274680281404087.post-8115746651587233483Mon, 26 May 2008 10:04:00 +00002008-12-10T06:32:42.624-07:00 1-Snowstorm 11 April 2008: Joseph is making a path for Matthew to push his car through2-Are we Indians, or are we aliens?3-Hamlet, including skull (by Emma)4-Airplane, by Matthew (tracks for wings--wow)5-Jacob gets Tenderfoot6-Elizabeth with best friend, Holly7-Sir Robert, the Knight8-Mother's Day flower maintenance9-Emma's crab artwork--textile formhttp://maryhas6littlelambs.blogspot.com/2008/05/brasher-happenings.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mary)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996274680281404087.post-8477987143507523195Mon, 26 May 2008 08:42:00 +00002008-12-10T06:32:42.826-07:00Some of the most exciting events are not exactly highlights, however. Here is a boring, personal story to share with you. For a long time, especially since my miscarriage, I have wondered if I would have another baby in this life.

He spent quite awhile with them one morning, making sure he had one magnet of each color between each train car.

As per usual, I didn't yank hard enough (ouch). So I then yanked super hard and Robert lost his tooth. When I looked at my floss, the knot was empty...not only did Robert lose his tooth, but I also lost his tooth.
