Socks!

By -
Today was sock day in FullerTown. I didn't take a picture of what we started with because I didn't realize that the camera wanted to work today until one of the little Fullers began taking pictures of my pajama-clad self.

This is the finished product. 131 pair of socks, perfectly matched.

And this is the 118 socks with no match. And just as sure as I throw them away, the match will re-appear!!

The socks always wear me out!! I sort them into three piles: adult, little boys and little girls. Then sort each pile by color which is easy: white, dark, pink (girls only), blue.

Then I sort them into two piles, matching as I go. This makes the job much easier.
There are always some socks that baffle me. I have no clue where these came from. I do not recall purchasing them or anyone receiving them as a gift.

These were just purchased in October. These matched the boys' Christmas picture outfits. Paul has managed to lose one of each of his. I am very sad because I love these socks!


These socks are very disappointing. Old Navy had a sale on their 3-packs of socks during back-to-school shopping for a very low price. Naturally, I purchased one pack for each little Fuller. Of the 12 pair of socks, 5 do not have a match. I think this is some kind of conspiracy.

These socks have not had a match for a very long time. I keep putting them back in the basket everytime for some reason. And, everytime there is still no match.

Have a Happy Tuesday!

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
