Highlights


Brisa said some of the most hilarious things recently. We have officially reached the stage where the girls talk constantly and some of the things they say are just completely ridiculous. Enjoy!


"I wish my boogers tasted like bacon." This pretty self explanatory. She was eating bacon when this statement wandered out of her mouth.

"Mommy, are you done with my colander yet?" I had been crocheting Brisa a shawl. She was very excited and just couldn't wait for me to be done. But somehow she associated the word "collar" with the garment I was crocheting, and voila! Colander!

"This pineapple is gonna be the gospel of our meal!" Truly, I don't know from whence this came. She does seem to know that the gospel is a good thing. The good news, if you will. So I guess the pineapple was the "good news" of our meal. Works for me!


Here is Brisa posing in her shawl.



It's funny because it rarely stays on her shoulders. It usually ends up on her head, or around her chest, waist--you name it. Anywhere but her shoulders. The other day, we were walking through Walmart and she was wearing it on her head like the Virgin Mary. Hey, what can I say, it's Advent right?

Buggling Bandwagon

So, it has been nearly 2 months since I've buggled. Actually, the only reason I'm saying "buggle" is because Harry just noticed that I'm blogging and asked, "Are you buggling?" So yes, I am buggling. I think the term is appropriate given the the title of my blog!

There are a number of reasons for my falling off the buggling bandwagon, none of which are really all that interesting, and most of which are incredibly too personal for an "I haven't blogged in two months blog." Suffice it to say, that I'm back on the buggling bandwagon and I have missed, missed, MISSED buggling.

Today, Kahmylia read THREE books to me. It took like an hour and a half, but it was still very, very cool. I wish I could say that this is a testament to my fabulous homeschooling program, but, alas, it is not. She is a natural born reader, and I'm lucky to have her as a daughter. Otherwise, I would feel even more guilty for falling off the homeschooling bandwagon. Ah well, we're climbing back on that one soon. (For those of you who do not know, my brother got married this month in New Mexico and we were gone for 10 days. That said, our homeschooling routine is completely haywire.) To all my homeschooling friends, please, if you have anything encouraging to say, I need to be reminded that it is ok to take 2 weeks off of homeschooling because your brother got married all last minute and stuff.

So, anyway, I'm glad to be buggling again.

God Bless
