The Tucson Olsen's: Broken Arm, but not Broken Spirit
http://flightalphaolsen.blogspot.com/2012/12/let-me-preempt-this-by-assuring-that.html
Sunday, December 2, 2012. Broken Arm, but not Broken Spirit. Let me preempt this by assuring that everything turned out as well as it could have. I know for absolute certain that the prayers from many loving family and friends helped make it so. Also, I would have kept people better informed, except that that morning I left my phone at the store by accident, so I was limited to my mom's ancient phone. But at least it had a camera in it, too. My mom, who’s had almost 30 years of practice at motherho...

The Tucson Olsen's: kids say...
http://flightalphaolsen.blogspot.com/2014/09/kids-say.html
Tuesday, September 2, 2014. I try to sing to the boys and the girls every night. The boys get competitive, wanting me to sing their song of choice. So they alternate nights. Tonight it was Gregory's turn to pick the song. He always asks me to come up with something original on the spot, which is something special I love to share with him. He followed me when I left the room tonight and dramatically said, "When you sing those songs to Gregory it. makes my HIPS HURT! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Tucson Olsen's: 13 Months Overdue
http://flightalphaolsen.blogspot.com/2014/01/13-months-overdue.html
Wednesday, January 15, 2014. I can hardly believe it's been over a year since I last posted. sounds like a typical journal entry. I shouldn't be so surprised. If only my blogging skills were as strong as my Facebook skills. The whole crew Veteran's Day 2013. It's been a big year in the Olsen household. So let me recount everything that's happened. In the words of Inigo Montoya,. No, there is too much. Let me sum up". Fred stayed in Texas until he finished up training in July. Most uneventful birthday ever.

The Tucson Olsen's: October 2012
http://flightalphaolsen.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. OK, here's a super duper quick and easy Halloween decoration, also brought to you by the Dollar Tree. The light strand I got at Walmart, for about $4. They sell Halloween straws that have little white figures on them, that you can easily slide off. The legs are separate from the torso. Other people have used twisty ties to hold them together, but I am too lazy, so mine are dismembered. Adds to the gruesomeness, huh? Links to this post. Thrifty Halloween Teacher's Gift of Horror.

The Tucson Olsen's: August 2014
http://flightalphaolsen.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 20, 2014. A great tutorial a friend of mine sent me. It was so great to see such a neat, original idea! I was unimpressed until the last 15 seconds. I'm glad I watched it all the way through. By Vlechten met Daan. Links to this post. Tuesday, August 19, 2014. I post so much on Facebook, but that also means the true gems are easily lost amid all the mundane stuff I share with the world. Yes, like what I ate that day. Charla: "next word: MALE". Leora: "M-A-L-E. What does it mean? Subscrib...

The Tucson Olsen's: September 2012
http://flightalphaolsen.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 28, 2012. We are recovering from Birthday season. Leora kicks it off August 17. Then Gregory picks it up again on September 15. Finally, Fred and Charla run it home together September 23. I get Winter to myself and Kai rules over Spring. It's been a great Birthday season, though. We celebrated Leora's actual birthday with Inga and her beau, Eddie. We did a drive-in movie with popcorn. Her cake had little fondant kitties representing each member of the family. And we wrap it up. Sadly, I...

The Tucson Olsen's: June 2012
http://flightalphaolsen.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Why Cats Drink Water. At dinner my 4-year old theorized why cats like to drink water. It went something like this. Leora: I know why cats like to drink water so much. Leora: Because it reminds them of fish, who live in the water. And cats like to eat fish. That's sound logic to me. Links to this post. Monday, June 11, 2012. For dinner tonight I cooked a German family favorite: Schnitzel and Kaesespaetzle (YUM! This smells like Oma Gisela's house! Germany, too ;). Links to this post.

The Tucson Olsen's: January 2011
http://flightalphaolsen.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 23, 2011. We’ve been in Alabama 18 days now, and in our house for 17. I’m sure anyone will agree that moving is a roller coaster ride…. There’s the anticipation. You’ve waited in line for your turn to welcome the moving truck. Finally you strap into your seat and head to your destination, gripping the sides through several drops and loop-the-loops, sometimes screaming. With panic, sometimes just enjoying the ride. Then you reach your destination, which you foolishly think is the end.
