Grand Times
Friday April 2, 2010It’s hard to believe that we hadn’t been down to visit Grandma & Grandpa since Thanksgiving (!), but we rectified that last weekend with a trip at the beginning of our spring break. We began our Saturday at our preschool’s Eggstravaganza, and ended the day with the Grands. The weather wasn’t perfect, but we still [...]

Sunday February 14, 2010I hope you had a nice day – we did. Ours was a low-key kind of day. We don’t make a big “to do” about Valentine’s – my big thing was having a V-Eve party the night before. We are trying hard to crunch our budget and reduce spending, so neither of us spent much [...]

Saturday February 6, 2010Well the blizzard has arrived, delivered on it’s promise, and hasn’t left yet. The media is freaking out about it, but we are enjoying the novelty, for now. (Ask me how I feel to be snowed in on Monday). Yesterday, school was canceled pre-emptively, so Wendy was invited to a friend’s house for a playdate. [...]

My local jurisdiction sent out an emergency alert warning, “Another severe winter storm, with near blizzard conditions, is forecast to hit our area Fri., Feb. 5 through Sat., Feb. 6. Be prepared to shelter in place for 3 to 5 [...]

Tuesday February 2, 2010Sunday was a beautiful morning, with perfect conditions for sledding. Sunny, not too windy, and not so much snow that we couldn’t drive our minivan to the nearest bestest hill in our neighborhood. It took some effort to get all of the children into their snow gear and out the door, but finally, we made [...]

Saturday January 30, 2010Another snowfall has hit our area, so we are hunkered down in front of the fire. Some of us are playing “Trouble”… some of us are causing it … and some of us are blogging about it :) We’ve been working on some Valentine’s decorations, so I thought I would try and be arty and [...]

Thursday January 14, 2010You may recall, about two weeks ago, Adam won a trip to the ER, courtesy of his busted head. In addition to stitches, he apparently came home with germs. ER on Saturday, then happy and healthy all day Saturday and Sunday … until around dinner time. Just as I was trying to coax some peas [...]

Sunday January 3, 2010Our New Years was completely boring. We did not take our usual trip to the little cabin in the big woods and we did not make any plans at home. Mike bought some sparkling cider for the kids and we let them have some in celebration, around 9pm. Then he and I stayed up playing [...]

Monday December 28, 2009We had a super duper Christmas. And now that 2010 is bearing down on us, I figured I better get these memories chronicled. Prepare for an overload of photos. This is what the week before Christmas was like … Sunday: we made decorated a gingerbread house. It turned out pretty good! It was fun to [...]
