Oh what a long time it’s been since I blogged! We had massive heat and I had massive contractions and several of us were sick, plus the pageant was going on…. In any case, I finally had a minute to post and thought I’d do a little update. Here’s some ways we’ve been learning and [...]

It’s been so long since I’ve done one of these posts, it’s going to be hard not to be 30 or 40! Here’s a bit of what we’ve been doing around here… 1. We’re reading Kayak Anna. I got the book Kayak Anna and Palindrome Creek (or something similar) to review and started reading [...]

Oh my goodness, we’ve been busy! Summer is just a blur around here, even with the pageant finally over. It’s been nice, though, and it was cool and rainy for part of the week and I really liked that. It makes it nicer for our nightly badminton games. Here’s a bit of what we’ve been [...]

Last Saturday I sent my camera to the pageant with Victoria and Annalee and asked them to take some pics for me. It has been such a busy week that I haven’t posted them yet but I thought I’d offer their glimpse of pageant life… Mulling around back stage beforehand Daddy practicing his dulcimer A [...]

Last night was the opening night for the Wilder Pageant and over 1,100 people were in the audience! The boys and I will not go until next weekend at the earliest, so I won’t have pictures of exciting fires, locust plagues, horses and wagons, the creek or dugout or any of the other fantastic scenes [...]

My actors are off finishing opening night of the Wilder Pageant as I type. In a few moments they’ll be bowing for an audience of hundreds (up to a thousand!) and signing autographs. Then they’ll come home, exhausted and wired, stage makeup on their eyes and full of stories. I’ll go see it with Grandma [...]

Egads, we’ve been busy! Summer is always such an explosion of activity. On the one hand, it’s wonderful to have so many opportunities. On the other hand, it gets a wee bit overwhelming. Here’s some of what we’ve been up to…….. 1. Jack started T-ball and is loving it! His first game was in the [...]

We are studying the rain forest this week and someone recommended The Reading Lady because there’s a readers’ theater script there for The Great Kapok Tree. It turns out there are lots of children’s books that have been converted to readers’ theater scripts for kids to read and act out the parts. My kids love [...]

We found out what roles Daryl and the girls will have in the Wilder Pageant this year. The news was a wee bit disappointing. Victoria will be Lottie Bedal. She has one line. She and Anna have been acting in the pageant for years (this will be their 5th) and they know practically every child’s [...]
