Five years ago, I started this blog...and I think I've updated it like maybe 5 times or so since then, but in my defense, I only had half the children that I have now, so I was just, you know, sitting around with nothing to do and lots of free time. Five years ago, I had a 2 year old and an almost 1 year old. My husband was in seminary. We were working with youth ministry and worship ministry at

I love my kids. I mean, really, stinking love them, but sometimes... sometimes they drive me nuts! Take riding in the van with them, for instance. Last night, after a long day at Vacation Bible School (VBS), and an afternoon of feeling alternately exhausted and completely sick, I loaded up the whole gang and headed to THE grocery store. I was able to quickly and efficiently make my way through

I have held on to the illusion that somehow I oculd make myself "SuperMom"- you know... the mom who take Mrs. Proverbs 31 and makes her look a lazyface? Lovingly growing her baby's fruits and vegetables from seedlings, tending the garden, pureeing them into delicious meals and then lovingly serving them, and freezing the leftovers, all while quietly and delightfully homeschooling the older

We have been adopted. By a cat. Again. I'm not all that excited about it. Last summer, when we were preparing to move to our new home, we noticed a black cat seemed to be living on/around the porch. He appeared as if he owned the place; we found out later that he was the former occupants' house cat and had been left behind when they moved. We moved in to the house, got settled and the little

After an unintentionally long break in blogging, I have been yearning to write a new post for quite some time. But, I also yearn for sleep.... and so in the spare moments, that's what will win.I don't really think I have to tell you that our house is mass chaos,pretty much 24-7. I like to tell myself it's somewhat orderly, organized mass chaos.... Yes... I like to tell myself that as I step over

I have been contemplating updating for some time now, but the many demands of a stay-at-home mom of 4 seem to have overtaken my body and I have found myself unable to compose a complete thought, let alone take said completed thought and put it onto blog for all the world to see.

Superman is loud. Really, really loud. Like, worry that there's something wrong with his hearing loud. He has mentioned several times lately that he thinks it's so cool that he can hear his own voice when he talks. He wants to know if I hear my voice when I talk. I think he's trying to make sure that people ten miles over are able to hear his voice when he talks... which he does... a lot. I have

Folks, I'm pregnant. I know, you already knew that, but here's the thing... I have been strongly stuck in denial for a few weeks (ok... like 25 of them). But, all of a sudden, I'm realizing- this child is a lunatic. She is in CONSTANT motion. When I sit down, when I stand up, while I'm laying down, when I'm walking- constant, crazy movements. I don't think the child actually sleeps. All three of

A few things of note from the Ellis house: 1. Jefferson and I were able to "get away" for a few days for the WeeKirk conference last week. The kids all paid a visit to Nana and Papa's house (God Bless Them!) and returned snottier than when they left. Physically speaking, that is. Also, probably behavior-wise, too. 2. Our friends from Nashville and their sweet little girl arrived on Saturday and

Hmm... what to write about today? We have just completed week three of homeschooling- two weeks in an itroductary Creation unit and one week in a unit on the Sun. Yesterday I did some informal testing with Superman using a Kindergarten Report Card I found online and it confirmed what I've suspected... he's really ahead of teh curriculum we're using, at least in terms of reading readiness.

Today begins Superman's first day of Kindergarten.... and my first "official" day as his teacher. We've just completed our morning, complete with lessons, play time outside, snack, singing, and some other fun. It's almost lunch time and I thought I would take a quick break to share some photos of our morning together. Ladybug wants to be everywhere we are and Sweet Pea has decided it's time for

I will try to reconstruct the last few weeks as best I can, but given the fact that in the midst of all of this we said goodbye to our dear church family, Jefferson was ordained, we celebrated our 10 year anniversary and my birthday by moving... things may be a little sketchy.On August 2nd, a Sunday, Sweet Pea threw up on the way to church. No big deal, we ran home and got her a new dress and

We've been having what you might call a "diffacult" time with Ladybug lately. She's emotional, defiant, peeing in strange places, and freaking out about clothing, her baby sister, and a host of other bizzare things. She is both completely charming and completely obnoxious. She can be the sweetest, most thoughtful little girl one minute and the next tear your head off and feed it to the lions.

Yeah, I have a large family. My dad is one of 14 kids and I have several hundred cousins. Okay, more like 30 or so, but it feels like a few hundred. We just returned from the big Bell reunion, a biennial event held in various locations around the northeastern part of the country. Winning the right to host the reunion is a bit like hosting the Olympics, except there's less pagentry and no funny

And I think the people want a new blog....I know, it's been possibly forever since last I graced my adoreable blog with my sweet, sweet ramblings about our crazy little slice of life.... I could apologize, but I won't. Things are hectic here, as always and blogging about the madness just seems to get shoved, or flung, to the back burner. A few things of note: The college in the town where we

While at the lovely and terrific 4th of July parade the other day, I happened to be seated next to one of the wonderfully unintelligent pregnant smokers. Not only was my dear neighbor lighting up while smoking, she was CHAIN SMOKING.

It's been so long since I blogged, have I mentioned that we're moving? Jefferson will be pastor of a wonderful church near the Pittsburgh Airport beginning in August. We are thrilled that he is almost ordained and that we will be, Lord willing, settling in to a new home for a long while. The kids are pumped because we'll have a driveway. I am excited because we'll have room for a Homeschool room

Oh, dear. That's all I can really say. Last week, my dear Superman, in his quest to help me do the dishes, completely flooded the kitchen. He started out fine- washing, running water when needed and then setting things aside. I went upstairs to talk to Jefferson and see what the girls were up to and suddenly we all heard, " MOMMY, DADDY HELP THERE'S WATER EVERYWHERE!!!!!" We went running

A few things of note: 1. Superman had some blood tests done recently to determine if he might have a chromosomal disorder that could explain 99.9% of his behavior, preferences, etc. The good news is that he does NOT have this disorder. The bad news is that he does NOT have this disorder. I cannot explain to anyone how this makes me feel. I have firmly believed that I might have stumbled onto an

The other day, Jefferson was taking Superman to soccer (where Superman scored his first goal!) when they drove past the car rental place at the end of our road. Superman exclaimed, "DADDY YOU"RE A GENUIS".... The car rental company has an overabundance of red trucks and Superman felt that we had sold Daddy's truck in the fall so that we could get one of these wonderful, new red trucks! So cute!

Today is Friday, which in our house last week was the first official "TV-Free Friday". That went pretty well, and the kids only watched tv after they didn't go to be and ended up in our room watching Phineas and Ferb with their dad. (Please note sarcasm). So, today, being Friday, is TV-Free Friday once again. The children have been up since 7. The tv remained off until 10:05, which was the exact

Sweet Pea and I went for a walk together this morning while everyone else was sleeping. And when I say we walked, I mean, I walked and she rode along in the backpack carrier, because clearly, Sweet Pea is 8 months old and isn't walking. The not walking isn't for lack of desire, just lack of maturity.... Sweet Pea cracks me up because she looks more and more like Superman everyday AND she is

So today was Superman's preschool picnic at the park. We took lunch, picked Jefferson up from the church and headed out. Superman and Ladybug had an absolute blast playing and possibly even eating something. Ladybug followed her big brother and his friends around the playground practically the entire time!

What to write about today? The urge to blog, the time to blog (one child sleeping and two more watching an unexpected Phineas and Ferb marathon on Disney Channel)... but alas, writer's block, or is it blogger's block?

Off and running Friday morning- first to the dietitian's office to find out that I lost a whopping 0 pounds in one month, not really surprising given that I have pretty much thumbed my nose at working out lately and eaten a little more liberally than I should. After Angie, the dietician, gave me a pep talk (she's way too nice to me), she also armed me with a blood glucose meter so that I can

The Easter Bunny came to Superman's preschool the other day. Superman was NOT amused. Even though he is getting older and is VERY brave, he hasn't yet outgrown his extreme fear of all things mascot and puppety.

I bought Ladybug a new shirt the other day! This is what it says: Reasons you might confuse me with a rockstar.1. I can scream really loud.2. When I don't get my way I throw a temper tantrum3. I'm up all night.4. You can barely understand what I'm saying.5. No one else could pull off this hairdo.Yup... that about sums up life with our three year old diva these days!!

Driving home from my parents the other day, attempting to keep the van on the road, I looked in my rear view mirror and saw my kiddos. The big two were cracking up at a Shawn the Sheep DVD we had purchased earlier in our trip at the grocery store and the little one was sound asleep in her car seat. I found myself alone with my thoughts and began to pray- Lord... show me. You see, it's that time

Is that "how you roll"?Ladybug: (Demonstrating by rolling on the floor): No Daddy, THIS is how I roll.While watching a commercial for Tampax...Ladybug: Mommy, I want those.While "helping" Mommy clean the kitchen, Superman and Ladybug, grab extra pump parts and begin demonstrating their use, complete with noise that pump makes while in use.

SO the other day, I was at the grocery store, by myself!, on a super duper amazingly quick trip to get milk, when I happened to be cruising down the frozen food aisles and found approx. 100-120$ in twenty dollar bills on the ground. I stopped and stared for a minute, figuring that they weren't real, but, they were. Then I wondered if I was on one of those "What Would You Do?" shows that ABC is so

So, I took the little ladies to Walmart and Target this morning.... plunked down a pile of money, or in my case, plastic card tied to bank account, for a new camcorder (oohh.. it's very nice) and assorted other items, like a new part for the breast pump since... my DOG ate part of it, rendering the double pump, well... un-double-able... anyway... Got an external hard drive to store pictures and

Yesterday, I caught puke in my hands, cleaned up chocolate milk that was spilled on my bed, sat my 5 month old daughter on the toilet to help her poop and wondered when I became so immune to bodily functions. Today, I pulled boogers out of two little girls' noses and made sure one daughter had a bath this morning because last night, she threw up in her sleep and laid in hot dog puke all night.

Yeah, so I've been away from the blog for most of the month, as our dear friend Ted pointed out.... My only excuse is this: I'm too darn busy to sit down and write about any of the craziness that's been going on this month! I'll try to recap, but I'm sure I'll miss most of the good and funny stuff: -Our van is broken. Really broken. We have not had it for the last week. It's back now, not

The other day, we went to sign Superman up for soccer. He starts in April and will learn the basic fundamentals of the game and then have mini- games with his team in May. He is SO pumped! I am looking forward to him getting some great exercise and making new friends. He's really excited and has already asked me a hundred times if it's April yet? It's going to be a long couple months!

Since January 1st, Jefferson and I have been working on making changes in our house- we've been eating differently, exercising, drinking more water and taking lots of small steps to get healthy. Since the first, we've lost a combined 27 pounds- he's lost 15 and I've lost 12. I am so proud of my husband and his hard work! We've both needed to lose weight for a long time, but this is the first time

Dear Superman and Ladybug, I have a confession to make, my darling children. For a long time, too long really, you have been addicted to chocolate milk, or as we call it, "bunny chocolate". The truth is, we ran out of bunny chocolate syrup a few months ago and I never bought more. The nest time you asked for bunny milk, I gave you milk minus the bunny. And you did not notice. I'd been giving you

Superman and Ladybug are almost totally potty trained. They both wear underwear to bed and MOST mornings, wake up dry. Who woulda thunk it a year ago? Jefferson and I get the kids up every night a few hours after they have gone to bed to have them use the bathroom. I'm pretty sure they will NEVER wake up on their own and that we'll probably have to go to college with them to make sure they don't

So, Ladybug got a pretend ironing board for Christmas. She had literally NO idea what to do with it, which I found hysterical. I am pretty sure that in close to three years of life, she has seen me use an iron, maayyybeee once....She's currently using it as a table for tea parties in her room! While we were playing Boz's world of adventure the other day, Ladybug had to say something she is

Merry Christmas to all!Last week, we were heading up to do some Christmas shopping at the mall when all of a sudden, Ladybug asked if she could watch John McCain when we got home. We've bene laughing about it ever since! Every once and a while she asks if she can watch John McCain or if she can watch TLC. Tonight, I had TLC on in our room while I was trying to put Sweet Pea to bed and Ladybug

We got our youth group kiddos together tonight to take a photo to send to the newspaper to advertise this coming Sunday's Live Nativity at the church. Included in the promo shot were our kids and Jackie's girls...Superman was a sweet little grey kitty cat and Ladybug was a precious angel. Sweet Pea makes a cuddly little Baby Jesus!

Jefferson was helping at the Christian outreach tonight, so I took the kids and we went to the store. While we were there, we found SLEDS! and we HAD to get them because it is snowing and we want to SLED and we have no SLEDS!!!!!

Oh, my! We went on a lovely family outing yesterday to Ikea and returned home to find that our upstairs bathroom sink had been completely removed. Ralph, our church's wonderful maintainence and facilities guru, had been over to fix the enormous leak in our bathroom. He left once, while we were still home, with a piece of pipe, saying that there were several things wrong. When we got home, no sink

Okay folks, I think it's time to come clean. I am a big time, huge, sugar addict. I never really thought about it until the last few months, but the alert I received during my last pregnancy about having "higher sugar" started waking me up. I was advised to have my blood sugar rechecked after Sweet Pea was born to make sure it had gone back to normal. I did, and it hasn't.... so... much to my

Trying to get out the door to go get decorations for the camp dinner next week (NEXT WEEK??? AHHHH) and I just came on here to vent about the complete and utter lack of listening on the part of my two oldest children. Should I be blogging about it rather than dealing with it? Probably not, but I need to calm myself down before dealing so I don't FREAK OUT. I have often said lately that I feel

I need a transcriptionist.... then, ye faithful readers would have a LOT more to read.... I could just talk out loud and my friendly transcriber would type it all out for me and auto-post to the blog. Sounds good, right? Anyway.... the plan to move Superman into Ladybug's room has been permanently canceled. After further review, it's a completely insane idea and we would never get any sleep.

It seems that Ladybug may have an imaginary friend- Caitlyn. She is two, just like Ladybug and she has a house in our living room. Caitlyn doesn't like candy cane hershey kisses but she has a garbage at her house where we can throw our wrappers. I'll tell you more about her as it becomes known to us!!!Also, we were discussing how Ladybug has poop in her soul (as we all do) and how Jesus cleans it

Jefferson's Grandpa Charlie passed away on Tuesday. We are heading to his hometown tomorrow for the calling hours and funeral. Papa Charlie was a wonderful man and we'll all miss him very much! We're happy that he's with Jesus now, but know that we'll miss him. Papa Charlie wasn't a huge fan of praise and worship music because he said it was too repetitive. Jefferson said he could envision

Yesterday, Jefferson came downstairs to find Ladybug crying hysterically. Her brother, when asked if he hit her, said that aliens had come down from the sky and hurt her. When asked this follow-up question- Really? He answered that she had hurt herself. When asked again: Did you hit her, slap her, or hurt her?- he replied- Yes, I did all those things.

Oh, oh my... just when I thought the campaign commercials were the most obnoxious thing on television... I turned on nick jr. this afternoon to watch Backyardigans. Every commercial was for a BRAND NEW TOY THAT YOU JUST HAVE OT HAVE... and at each toy, Superman and Ladybug said, louder and louder, "I WANNA GET THAT!"

Sitting on the couch this morning after Jefferson got home from set up, feeding Sweet Pea, when Jefferson reminds me that the Kids resale that I wanted to go to is happening today. We decide that I will go and I take Sweet Pea with me because all she really does is sleep (and look cute). Off we go to the resale where I manage to find Sweet Pea three cute jumper dresses and a little tiny pair of

All month long on Disney Channel, they are celebrating Spanish Carriages month and we here at Everyday Adventures just want to wish our Spanish Carriage friends a happy month... What? You've never heard of Spanish Carriages Month? It may be because it is more widely known as Hispanic Heritage Month, but according to Superman, it's Spanish Carriages Month. So, ole!

Nancy reminded me that we have a picture from last year that looks just like one we have from this year- ho fun to compare!! 2007: A family of four, with no idea anyone else would be joining us... Jefferson was at the start of his last year of Seminary, Superman had just started his first year of Preschool and Ladybug was still wearing diapers. Me?

I am blogging because if I don't, I may go completely nuts. I have not been pushing Superman or Ladybug to take naps lately because if and when they actually do, they end up staying up until 10 or 11 at night because they can't fall asleep. This happens even when we try shorter naps of 30-45 minutes. The problem is that Ladybug definitely still needs a nap and Superman could really use one. Today

When Superman was born, I did not have a wealth of newborn knowledge from which to draw. I had a lot of head knowledge about elementary aged children, but not a lick of knowledge of or experience with infants. Superman, as with most first children, is and continues to be, our guinea pig child. "Let's try this.. and see if it works".When Ladybug was born, having already had our guinea pig... she

Dear fellow shoppers at my neighborhood Supercenter, You may have thought I didn't notice your chuckles, pointing and little tongue clicks of disapproval today when I was shopping with my girls, but I did. Yes, I KNOW that my two-year old daughter was wearing fairy wings and a fairy skirt. Yes, I am aware that Halloween is a few weeks away. No, it's actually NOT her costume. No, we are not

Shhhh... Don't tell the rest of the family, but I'm hiding out up here. I came up because I had to use the pump, but I've been done for a while and I can't bring myself to go back downstairs! It's so quiet down there, finally, that I don't want to disrupt it and it's so quiet up here that I just want to enjoy it. So, take a moment with me, breathe in, breathe out... AHhhhh...Okay.

Jefferson has been taking the two older kiddos to see various High & School and Middle School sporting events over the last few weeks in the afternoons. God bless him!!! It gives me an opportunity to rest, which I appreciate, because generally speaking, I have a MAJOR freaking headache that starts sometime between 3 & 5 p.m. EVERY afternoon. Good times. Anyway... the other day, they loaded up and

Ladybug didn't fall asleep until after 10:30 last night and then it was only because we told her to go into her room and wait in her bed and then she could watch Hi-5. This morning, I realized before I even opened an eye that I should probably stay in bed. Superman was in our room DEMANDING to play school and NEEDING paint. At 7 in the morning. No, I don't think so pal.Ladybug is in a stinky mood

Do I seem like someone who just fell off of a turnip truck? Do I blog like someone who was born yesterday? Do I strike you as somebody who is more than a few crayons short of a 64 pack? Because here's the thing, apparently, my children seem to think so. It goes like this....Jefferson, my wonderful, amazing, hard-working husband has a meeting, again. We have dinner and he leaves for his meeting. I

We are one year away from having to make an actual decision regarding homeschooling. Superman is due to start Kindergarten next year and I'm trying to start researching to find out what our best options are for him and subsequently his sisters. I'm trying to gently introduce the idea of schooling at home by sitting down with both the older two to do some very simple lessons and things. The

Oh, just when I start to get a little too big for my mommy britches, which incidently, I literally am because of just having a baby 13 days again, my two oldest children, aka Wacky & Wackier... remind me that I am still learning....Both Superman and Ladybug need an afternoon nap. Both of them generally resist it to the point of complete madness on everyone's part. If they don't nap, they are

So sorry... but that's what you get when there's an 11 day old in the house- a hodge podge of miscellaney.... in the form of a list.1. Honey Bunches of Oats now has a chocolate cluster cereal. It is yummy. If you pour chocolate milk on it the cereal TOTALLY tastes like cocoa puffs, which is always a really good thing. It's not Cocoa Puffs which allows me to still feel as if there is some

Yesterday was Jefferson's day off and we spent the afternoon together as a family. Apparently the day took it's toll on Ladybug, because she fell asleep in the van on the way home. When Jefferson got her out and set her on her feet on the sidewalk, she laid down and continued sleeping. Being the kind, loving parents we are, we let her lay there while Jefferson grabbed the camera so I could snap a

A few noteworthy items....- Someone needs to take my dog. Please. She's driving me insane. And she smells. Bad. - Superman wants to go to TGI Fridays when he turns 9. Please make a note of that. Also, he loves every restaurnaut in the entire country..... He also especially enjoyed the chicken (actually a pot roast) that I made for dinner last night. And, finally the donut shop is made out of

Ladybug and I had had a girls night Friday night. We rented Barbie Mariposa (oh, just don't bother!!! It's a freaky little tale about fairies and monsters). Anyway, we soaked our feet in the foot bath, brushed hair, had snacks and did pedicures and manicures. We snuggled and giggled and had a blast together. I kept thinking about what a blessing it is to have one amazing daughter and how, at

It appears as if the toys are staging some sort of take over..... either that, or... it's my kids way of playing Democratic National Convention?Last night, we thought that Ladybug was tucked safely in her bed, sound asleep. However, upon further review, we found that she was NOT in her bed, but had gone downstairs, turned on the television and was watching John Kerry speak at the DNC. We had no
