Spring is one of those touch-and-go times when some days it's warm enough to let the boys outside without a coat and some days its cold enough that I have to chase after them to put on sweaters and hats and the like ( Read more... )

Well. Today Ginny turns two. Two. I can't believe it! I wish-She's definitely aware of what today is, thanks to her brothers (the boys are all about birthdays, of course, even if it's not their own). Everyone in the house is in a pleasant mood, and for that I am thankful. Birthdays are always so much more fun to celebrate when no one's being sulky ( Read more... )

Today has been a tiring day. Enjoyable, yes, since the boys and Ginny were actually well-behaved for most of it (and no, they're not sick, haha), but being pulled in six different directions all at once... well ( Read more... )

Well, it's not long now before Bill comes home for the summer hols! Oh, it will be so good to have him back. I'm counting the days (literally, there is a calendar on the wall ( Read more... )

Well, my little (mischievous) darlings are five years old today. Goodness, where has the time gone? We're going to do some celebrating here tonight, of course, but I was also thinking of doing something over the weekend when Bill is back from school. Only a couple more days now until he's back for the Easter holidays ( Read more... )

I still don't honestly think that Ron has come completely down from the excitement of his birthday yet, and yes, I am well aware that it was two weeks ago tomorrow (I still can't believe he's three already). He was old enough to really appreciate it, I think, and I say thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us. He had heaps of fun and ( Read more... )

Well. I think everyone (myself included, with the exception of my dear husband) woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I can't remember the last time there was so much... crankiness in the household. Argh. I had a couple of owls sent to me this morning that I haven't replied to yet because I was in a Mood, so I will get to those in a ( Read more... )

How is January nearly over?

The boys were really happy over the weekend, when it snowed a little. Well, everyone except for Percy, as he's been some kind of a mood all week and refuses to do much of anything with anyone else. At least he isn't sick, I suppose. Anyway, there wasn't really enough snow to do much of anything, but I'll be darned if ( Read more... )

Christmas is next week, oh my. Every year it seems like there a million things to do and not enough time in which to complete it all, but somehow... we always find a way ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is Bill's birthday, and it will be the first one where he's at Hogwarts. I'm trying not to be sad! Arthur and I have put together a nice parcel for him tomorrow. The twins say that just because Bill isn't here doesn't mean that we can't have birthday cake, but... we'll see ( Read more... )
