All Aboard

September 23, 2010 by dailygnome 2 Comments

Our long-awaited Dining Room Table is due to arrive at the end of the week. The chairs were delivered a few days ago (combined with our old kitchen chairs, there is plenty of seating if you don’t mind holding your plate in your lap). While I’m super excited to eat around a big table, it will require dismantling a freight engine, passenger cars, and a caboose.

Before The Furniture Returned

Left up to them, the furniture would have stayed in the carport and the living room converted to a permanent dance studio:

Bubblefest

March 2, 2009 by dailygnome Leave a Comment

I brought these bubbles back from Virginia and we’ve been hosting afternoon BubbleFests. It involves music, frolicking, lots of giggles, oodles of bubbles and jumping on our bed. I bend the rules with the understanding that jumping is only allowed when bubbles are present.

They’re the same brand used at the library storytimes and I’m always amazed how long the bubbles stick around. Carson tries to pop them all but there’s always a few that go unnoticed. The other morning I woke up and spotted a handful still attached to the chandelier.
I was tempted, but saved them for Carson. If only to hear his squeals of delight!

Mud Bowl

December 11, 2008 by dailygnome Leave a Comment

Some friends of ours host a football game each year at a local park. This past Saturday was the third annual Mud Bowl and unlike previous years the sky was blue and the ground was dry. I spent the majority of the game on the sidelines wrangling Carson and Hadley (and sipping hot cocoa) but did manage to sub in for a few plays. Although not quite enough playing time to justify the fact I’m still feeling sore on Wednesday.
