Saturday November 21, 2009Back on Veterans Day, we found ourselves with an unplanned free day. Everybody had the day off except Sam’ preschool, but we let him play hookie. It was a drizzly, gray day, but I decided it would be fun to hit the museums downtown, since we don’t get down there often enough. I was especially [...]

Saturday October 31, 2009Last week, we carved our pumpkins. I tried to figure out a way to make it more interactive for the kids, since they can’t really do the cutting at this point. I decided to download a bunch of pumpkin templates and let them make their own jack-o-lantern face by picking the eyes, nose and mouth [...]

Sunday July 5, 2009This year, we headed south to spend our July 4th with Grandma & Grandpa. It’s been way too long since we got down there, and the kids were dying to spend some time with them in the country. That, coupled with the long holiday weekend and the fact that it coincides with both of their [...]

Monday April 13, 2009Saturday, Adam’s buddies, Felicity & Elyse, helped their mom host an Easter Egg party. Actually, considering that they are the same age is Adam, I think their contribution was minimal. It would have been nice if the weather had cooperated and we could have had it outside, but Amy did a nice job with everything [...]

Saturday January 3, 2009We had a great time “ringing in the new year” with friends. I have that in quotes because we were back at home, with the kids tucked in their beds by 9pm. New Year’s celebrations tend to start and finish early when you run with the 8 and under crowd. We joined up with the [...]
