This weekend has been tiring. Actually, just last night was tiring. And not just because of Daylight Savings Time.
Andy’s sister, who turned 30 on Thursday, had her birthday party last night at Mo’s Irish Pub. We met there around 7:45 for dinner, but didn’t order until 8:30. We had two long tables reserved for […]
Just after I posted that last post about my laptop not working, my laptop started working. Of course. I’m a pretty firm believer in Murphy’s Law, so it’s only appropriate that this is what happened. So instead of just laying on the sofa, doing sudoku puzzles, while watching Juno with Andy, I’m messing around on […]
Today, the boys and I went sledding with Noah’s friend from preschool, Nathan, his sister Teagan, and their mom, Angie (the same family we went with to the Domes). We picked up the big boys from school, had lunch at McDonald’s, then headed to the sledding hill. It’s the biggest hill the boys have ever […]
Tonight after dinner, Andy was playing on the Wii with Caden. He’s not the greatest at the games yet, but he’s getting there. He likes to try playing baseball, golf, and now, boxing.
Not too long ago, I was talking to my friend, Liz, about our kids playing Wii. She said her three-and-a-half-year-old was really […]
This afternoon, while Noah and I were bowling on the Wii, Caden was sitting on the sofa wearing his foam tiger mask. Yeah, just like it’s the most normal thing in the world. When I got my camera out to take a picture of him sitting there, he started running around the house. Here he […]
I’m currently watching “17 Kids and Counting” and thinking, for about the thousandth time, that this family is CRAZY! Nuts, I tell you! I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again, but when they say they’ll have as many kids as God has intended for them, I say God made people smart […]
A couple of months ago, Andy and I started talking about taking the boys to Chicago. We thought they’d enjoy the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum. This was our weekend to go, and we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.
We headed out early Saturday morning to drive down. We endured the dreaded […]
Today has been a pretty nice Sunday. Many of you may know that I often suffer from “S.A.D.” which I have renamed to “Sunday Affective Disorder.” It was especially bad in grad school when Andy lived in Appleton and I was still in Madison and we had to go our separate ways on Sundays. Now […]
This evening we hosted 13 adults and 10 children (including us) for dinner and play. Everyone generously brought a dish to pass, and we ordered pizza. It was chaos, but a ton of fun. It’s also a great excuse to clean the house!
Of the 10 kids, there were 3 boys (two of them mine!), […]
So I started using Facebook a while ago, and I’m finding it to be a bit addictive. I became interested after my sister-in-law was talking about it. I really didn’t think I’d have much use for it, but I’m amazed at who I’ve found.
I’ve reconnected with almost every one of my (many) college roommates, […]
