I'm so excited to go to the park someday VERY soon! Right now it's TOO hot in Houston for that. But next month, I plan to take the kids to the park, hopefully by that time they might be walking (at least a few of them!)
You wrote on Miriam's blog "Unfortunately, criticism and teaching and correction are seldom employed." Amen. I was raised in a different time, when brethren took me aside and showed me how to improve, Miriam's mother among them. Try that in come congregations and it is looked upon as discouragement instead of correction. We have become satisfied with the less than adequate in too many cases.
That bow (PP) is a large stacked bow measuring around 4.5" (can be made smaller though if needed). It is $8.00. Thanks for looking! Let me know if you want any :O)
I love my little men, too. I love how they love to be the leaders and are always wanting to show me the way. Of course, having two little leaders around can cause some conflict...
Glad your surgery went okay and hope the recovery is quick. Indi is ready to be potty trained I think, but now is not a good time so I'll probably wait a few more weeks till we're hopefully settled.
I feel ya on the bath towels. I had to go through several purchase-check at home-return cycles to find the right towels for my guest bath. I'm happy with the ones I have now - and they were from Walmart! :)
BTW, I'm totally stealing apoocalypse when I have kids. :)
I love the Song of the Lark. The Mill on the Floss is a little of a downer. I've not read it, just saw the MT adaptation. It is setting on my shelf waiting to be read. I do like her Daniel Deronda and Middlemarch. Both of those are fantastic.
My little girl will be 4 in July. I am selling her 4T dresses because they have gotten too short on her (they make those things so short these days!), but she is still wearing her shirts/capris/pants that are size 4. Sorry I couldn't help you.
