Happy April Fool’s day! I love this holiday. I am convinced it was created for mothers. It allows us to get a little crazy and have a little fun apart from our daily routine of parenting and housework. This year I read up online about a few fun things to do in the kids’ lunches. …

Yummy!
Seriously, what could be better than these huge chocolate dipped cones? Well, maybe how they look AFTER they eat those chocolate dipped cones! KK & Meg all messy and probably super sick to their stomach!
Busy, busy
Where does the time go? Well I am pretty sure I know! We get through winter by keeping busy with various activities the kids enjoy doing. I love keeping the kids involved in activities, but I also cherish my lazy days so somehow I managed to cram all of our activities into two days (Tuesday …
There’s a new cook in town
A few months ago Seth started tinkering around in the kitchen. Yes, I did say kitchen. Trust me, I was as shocked as you are. He doesn’t really enjoy cooking the normal recipes we have around here, but rather he prefers to experiment. My first recollection of this momentous occasion was when he started making …
Vericose Vein Procedures – not for the faint of heart

The Spock
Megan had to make an invention for the 3rd grade invention fair. She decided to invent the “Spock.” It is a combination of a sock and sponge. I always thought that would be a brilliant idea. She demonstrated it to her class by bringing a spray bottle to class and spraying the floor with cleanser …
Happy 3rd Birthday Drew Buddy!
Drew turned three yesterday. I decided I would take him to Build-a-bear so he could make his own bear. I think that the window of opportunity for boys to enjoy this is much smaller than girls so I thought it would be a good idea to get an early start. He is a little young …
Christmas 2010
We had another wonderful Christmas. The festivities began at G’ma Jan and G’pa Mike’s house on Christmas Eve. We had our traditional foods and games. We had the nativity performed by the kids and believe it or not, it went pretty flawlessly considering how young some of the kids were. Later that night our family …
