Meet Willie

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , on August 14, 2010 | 3 Comments »

He’s our new pet here at The Menagerie House. Obviously he is a guinea pig, and he’s eighteen months old. Some clients of our vet needed to rehome this gentle little creature, and so our vet gave them our name as being an animal-friendly family. The last of our ferrets, Houdini, passed away in January, [...]

The Swingset

Or as Grandma calls it, “The PROJECT”! It was a lot of hard work, but it was worth it. Even in the heat wave of the last few days the boys have been out swinging every day. Here we have Liam swinging away and pretending to be an Army helicopter pilot while Lieutenant Kieran mans [...]

Well, July is over, and it was a fun month here in the Menagerie House. We went to Texas for a week and then returned, grandparents in tow, to continue our visit with them. They were able to stay almost two weeks, which was a lot of fun, and then the last few days of [...]

It’s been a busy week here since Liam started the first of his two weeks of camp at his school. Kieran and I have been driving him over and back each day, stopping of course to let Kieran spend an hour or so on the playground and then running any errands that need to be [...]

We had a fabulous day today – it was Liam’s last day of Kindergarten, and so his class had a festival day complete with a puppet show performed by the children. Today is also my birthday, and I had a wonderful birthday lunch with Kevin and the boys and friends from Liam’s school, and then [...]

Birthday Weekend

It was a fun weekend here at the Menagerie House. Kevin’s birthday was on Thursday, so after school the boys and I did a quick shopping trip to pick out their presents for Daddy. Liam decided to get Kevin a new Yankees cap (his old one, a favorite, was lost a couple of months ago), [...]

Laundry Adventures

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on May 29, 2010 | 4 Comments »

Kieran has reached the age where he wants to help with household chores. Never one to turn down offers of assistance, I let him rinse dishes, take things out of the dishwasher, squirt soap, whatever he can do, really. Kevin does the same, and since he does the bulk of the laundry in our house, [...]

(I started this post last Saturday night, but only now have found the time to finish it. Enjoy!) The big event was this afternoon, and we had a good time. During the last couple of weeks Kieran has had us a bit confused by saying he only wants Daddy, Mommy, Liam, and Casey at his [...]

Gnomes!

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on April 2, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Waldorf teachers use the traditional northern European fairy tales as stories in their younger classes. First the children hear them as the teachers speak them, then see them in the form of puppet shows put on by the teachers, and then in the grade school they read the stories for themselves. As a result, we [...]

Sure Sign of Spring

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on March 19, 2010 | 2 Comments »

This morning at school, Kieran came shrieking around a corner… “Mommy, Mommy! Lookie what I found? Spring and muffins!” And he led me to some huge red maples… “Mommy! They are tapping the trees! Mmmmmmmm, maple syrup and muffins!” And he’s correct. Every Spring the 3rd graders tap the numerous campus maple trees for their [...]
