Frye Fam Happenings

I caught someone I love rubbing the back of someone HE loves during TV time today! (The sweetest part? Titus loves having his back rubbed...it's probably his favorite thing. It was nice to see him "doing unto others..." :) ) Next up: Action (shouldn't be too hard around here!)

I often like to tell stories from our Walmart adventures. I get comments about having my hands full, etc. etc. everywhere we go, but the things people say and do when we are at Walmart usually top the list. Stories from Walmart today (although only one has to do with comments from by-standers): Story #1: I dropped off our car to get new tires when we got there, and the guy signing us in witnessed all of the boys piling out of the car. When the 3rd one jumped out, he saw that there was still one waiting to get out of his seat (Josiah), and he said, "WHOA!!! That's a lot of kids!" My comment was, "Yeah, it's like a clown car with everybody piling out, right?" HIS comment was, "Well, I wouldn't have put it quite so nicely!" Excuse me? What's that supposed to mean??! ------------------------------------------------- Story #2: Justus had to go to the bathroom, so the rest of us were waiting right outside the door. Titus pointed ...

I had fun photographing (and playing on Picnik.com .) They had fun eating! I couldn't post just one!!

I started a cooking blog. Why? You can go here for the answer to that question... In the end, the blog is mainly to help me keep all my recipes in one easily accessible place, organized and ready to use. I also want to be able to share easy recipes with my friends who, like me, struggle to get a decent dinner on the table, night after night after night after..... If you would like to contribute an easy recipe, by all means, please let me know :) I will give you full credit, link to your blog, etc. I hope it keeps me cooking and eating out less, and I hope it helps a few of you as well!! Not a Cook at Heart

Next up: "Reminds you of childhood" hmmm .....

~One Happy Boy~ To be honest, I'm really struggling to see the big picture here. I have issues with the boys playing video games, watching much TV, etc. (Oh, this picture is of Justus right after opening his birthday present from us...a Nintendo DS!) So as of now, we have the following "screens" they are going to have to choose from for screen time: TV Video (as in, a movie) Leapster Computer DS PSP (Someone gave this to Derek awhile back, I can't even remember where or who, but the boys have just begun playing it this past weekend.) IPad (whenever Derek leaves it at home and doesn't take it to work with him) Yikes. Kind of makes me sick. But here's what I'm trying to tell myself (Here's me trying to see the "big picture" here): Our kids get a certain amount of screen time every day, and the screen they choose is up to them. Hopefully, they will learn balance, self-control, and discernment in all of this. I don't know many adults who are...
