NaBloPoMo for August

So the theme this month for NaBloPoMo is “Hot.” Considering I’m finally cooling down from the morning at the zoo, and some time in the crawl space above the garage, filling our little pool, and trying to figure out how to set up a sprinkler, I think I could come up with some stuff to […]

Happy Easter!

We’ve just gotten back from my in-laws’ house after eating a delicious lunch of ham, potatoes, broccoli, rolls, strawberries, apple slab (much tastier than it sounds), and eclair torte (so yummy!). We then laid around all afternoon, watched golf and NCAA basketball (I had Georgetown playing Wisconsin in the Sweet 16, but I’m much happier […]

Highlights of the week

Some of the fun/good/happy things that happened this week:

Caden’s buddy, Emily, and her little sister, Sarah, came to visit with their mom, my friend, Lisa. Our bug service came to ensure I don’t have to deal with any creepy-crawlies for the next few months (besides the ladybugs that are making their way into my […]

Choices, choices…

Andy and I just got back from a Milwaukee Admirals game. It was a Quad/Tech thing-sort of a “last hurrah” for Andy as this was his last day as a manufacturing engineer before starting Monday as the Outsourcing Coordinator. One of his co-workers is pretty miffed that Andy took this new position, but Andy didn’t […]

Morning visitors

I looked out my patio door this morning to find these 5 creatures laying in the yard:

I wish I had a nice zoom lens for my camera! (Hint, hint!)

Places I’d rather not take my kids:

The grocery store: They insist on riding in the cart with a truck cab in front, which is very difficult to steer, and greatly decreases the amount of room in the cart for our groceries. And now they’re getting bigger so they don’t fit as well in there together. The mall: At each mall […]

I blew it x 2

Yep, I forgot to blog on Sunday. If I’d had that extra hour we lost because of daylight savings time, I would have been able to do it! Nah, that’s just a lame excuse. Oh well. Since I’d already forgotten on Sunday, I got extra lazy yesterday and decided to skip blogging again. That was […]

Quad Full Throttle

Andy and I just got back from the annual Quad/Graphics “winter party.” No kids, just adults, free food, free booze, live music, pool, darts, and other random games. They set it all up in one of the warehouses in Sussex. The highlight of the evening is the “State of the Company” address by the president, […]

I’m in love with my windows!

If it were warmer outside than the 19 degrees or so that it is, I think I’d have every one of my windows open and tipped to the position for cleaning. Not to actually clean them, but just ‘cuz I can! Or maybe I’d have them just cracked open with the little locks out so […]

Awesome!

That’s what I thought when, at 7:55 this morning, I saw the big box truck backing into my driveway. Our windows are here! My house is all out of sorts, I can’t watch my DVR, my kids can’t figure out what to do, but it’s all for good reason. We’re getting our windows!  And […]
