Glees and godparents

drama camp redux

Four of my children are gone this week. It is so quiet around here! I guess this is what it would be like if they were in school. Bede and Dorothy would be home, and sometimes Gloria.

I don't like it.

This is what I see when I wake up!

Seven kids, 266 popes, and one historic moment.

We got some new furniture, made by an Amish guy! It is nice stuff!

There's a dining table (12 feet/3.6 m long with all the leaves put in) two chairs and four benches.

easy Monday morning

Dorothy is nursing, then we'll fold diapers.

Gilbert is taking over the world through Bad Piggies dominance.

Abaigeal is doing her maths.

Bede and Gloria are computering. I think Bede has a movie logo there.

Faith is on the way to wash dishes.

Trixie is asking me why the Sphinx has no nose.

Dorothy is wearing a top/dress that I made for Trixie. 

Here's Trixie in the same dress, in 2006, when we met the Yarn Harlot:
