FridayFavs!

Dear Midwest friends and family,
I know you think you just got a lot of snow.
And comparing, well is usually over rated... a waste of time.
However, I wanted to just share this view out of our front door
so that you can indeed see that, "this to shall pass" and well,
the Popes will still be covered in snow.
 
 
So here amidst the Narniaish weather
at the Pope house we are getting creative.
Or trying our very best.
Which means a lot of copying.
Any good idea I have ever had, rest assured,
came from someone else much more brilliant than I.
Which, btw....those people aren't hard to come by.
 
 
And my dear not so little, Jordynn
is taking a photo collage class.
I thought these were some good catches
for her "color collage" project.
 
 


Nope didn't use PicMonkey on those.
She is beginning to really use the camera
and experiment with different angles etc.
Exciting!!
 
 
Happy Friday Friends!
May you find youselves in a padded room.
No, not that kind!
The one where building towers with huge foam
blocks and jumping off is always ok.

    1. Janis, thanks for stopping by! Yes, we have built many a snowmen/women but honestly with the snow as deep as it is, really it's only good for sledding in. :)

Never Too Late for Friday Favs!

Yes, I know it's Sat. It's actually lateish Sat. evening. FridayFavs are actually supposed to be posted on Friday. Which is not today. Obviously. Oh, time management we have already decided you are one of my greatest foes. However, since the past couple of weeks have been, well pretty wonderful I thought I would share in more of the fun and favorite things we did together. These here are some of our Favs from when the laundry fairy (AKA Nana) was still in town.  Making sweet treats     And a Pinata And just for the record Pinatas are hard to make. It is a project that takes about a week. Not 2 or 3 days Unless you live in the South and can put it outside to dry in Oct.     Best. Dad. Ever.     Ironman. Meg (from Little Women). And a pirate, of course. I love them all. Well, the children dressed up as them anyway.     Yup. This here is the...

Overwhelmed

It has been a long while hasn't it dear friends? A forced sabbatical of sorts. More like me not really knowing how to manage time properly. Or perhaps it is the sheer thought of putting pen to paper or typing out what is really going on that is just so very overwhelming that really, the thought of it all gives me writers block.  Where to start? What to say? And does anyone really care. Thing is, I don't really know. Seriously, I don't know an answer to any of those questions. And maybe there are just parts of our life that I want to keep off of this blogosphere...or maybe not. Again, I just don't know. I keep thinking that it is going to come to me. That I will know exactly what to write and how to explain why in the world we would take in three foster children while having four of our own. My sister teases me by saying that I will turn out to be the old woman who lived in a shoe. If I believed in modern prophecy, I would call her a prophetess. No, I don't live ...

Raising Pretenders

Meandering the choppy waters of parenting a teen is new and confounding at times. It humbles and shakes up my days. It is also a blessing. Yes! I just said blessing and teen together. I had hoped and hoped and prayed that our teens would know that we are on their side, that we are not their advisory. It is such a scary, scary time in parenting isn't it? These children figure out they have brains of their own and they want to use them to do things like think and have their own opinion. It's so very hard to know when to push and when to let it slide. It might be more like parenting a toddler than we would like to admit most of the time. And yet, there is something very sweet here. I realize that this is not every ones experience. It will not be ours with every child. Of that I am almost certain. I'm not saying this to brag or put anyone else into what I like to call, "a fog of comparison." It is not some formula like a chemistry experiment so please, PLEASE d...
