The 2 big kids went on a Cub Scout camp out this weekend. E Nut got me up extra early today running around with excitement. Wing Nut enjoys his mornings much more like I do, late and lazy. Somehow we get woken up way to early by the early risers. I was happy to...

The Nut House Family Portrait

And by family portrait, I mean all of the kids, I spend my time behind the camera. I took several hundred photos of the kids just before Christmas.

Sleeping Sleeping All the Children are Sleeping…

I asked Wing Nut to take care of the younger kids tonight while I took a shower. Usually there is all sorts of chaos and arguing while I try to get a few minutes to myself. This time he had all the kids playing a game that I have heard them play before, but...

Thankful Thursday at The Nut House

Happy Thursday Y’all! I hope I am not the only one feeling like this week is super crazy. I have been running around all week long feeling like I am constantly one step behind. Well, until today I was feeling more like I am several steps behind. Very much like that scene in Poltergeist,...
