I went private for 11 days.

Don't feel bad if you didn't get an invite.

No one did.

Except for 5 sisters and 1 Mother of mine.

2 or 3 of them still haven't even accepted the invitation yet.

I love you too guys.

Are you wondering what you missed while we were away?

Weelll, the highlights are as follows......

I finished a book. Titled, The Poisonwood Bible. Read it. Then I want to talk about it.

I had 14 house guests. I'm not even making up that number. I loved every single one of them. Come again. And again.

House guest number 13 and 14.

Jace worked a lot. I'm slowly losing my mind about it.

This is Jace not at work. Just in case you forgot what that looked like.

I asked Ezra 4,671 times if he needed to go potty. I might be making up that number. Ezra did beautifully. My plan of us becoming best friends this year is slowly going down the toilet. The child needs some discipline. But in his defense, he lost his playmates, his diapers, and was assigned a big boy bed--one that doesn't include Noah--all in one week.

E for Ezra. Shorter bed for the shorter brother.

I participated in the 117th school fundraiser since the beginning of school.

I made Jace come to a ballroom dancing lesson. It was a flop. Awkward. Stinky. And awkward.

I vacuumed.

Just some of the dirt I vacuumed up.

I told you they were highlights.

You want some more?

Leave me you email address and consider yourself invited to the Baum Squad's newly privatized life.

If you thought your life was better before you knew everything about us...

No worries. Sometimes I like my unwritten life better too.

See you on the other side.
