I decided to try and cook up some asparagus for my kids and see if they would like it. I cut off the very ends of the spears, put them in a baking dish, added a few dollops of butter and some salt. I covered the disk with aluminum foil and then baked it at [...]

Today is Noah’s sixth birthday. He was so excited to bring Munchkins to class to today to help celebrate his birthday. I can’t believe how big he is getting. Here are some pics through the year of my little boy:

We got about three inches of snow yesterday, enough to close school earlier, but not too bad for driving around. North of us received about 10 inches. My five year old decided that he wanted to play out in the snow and came back in soaked!

Ouch!

Yesterday, my daughter and I baked Christmas cookies so that she could go caroling with her church group and give out treats. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite prepared with the necessary safety equipment needed to bake cookies – the hot pad. I couldn’t find any hot pads and instead used a mitten. Well, that doesn’t work [...]

My older daughter wouldn’t sit on his knee but told him he smelt like “beef and cheese.” (See the movie Elf for this classic line.) Here are the pics: Noah tells Santa he wants a Robot – Opps! We don’t [...]

Turkey day is over and we had a lot to be thankful for! The meal was delicious. We ate at my in-laws and had a yummy turkey. I brought mashed potatoes, gravy, monkey bread (one of my family traditions) and stuffing. The kids all had fun playing together and playing with their Uncle! We are [...]

When my son puts on his “speedy shoes” there is no stopping him! He loves to run and is constantly jumping. When he plays video games or goes bowling or even plays soccer, he just can’t keep still but loves to bounce around. Fortunately, he is also a good direction follower and will sit in [...]

Today my son and daughter got to pick pumpkins at the Elementary School. Every year, the PTO places pumpkins in the school yard and each child gets to choose one to take home. All the kids have a fun time and the teachers usually have an activity for them back at the classroom as well.

Today was the first day of school for my two daughters. My oldest one headed off to her first day of High School. She was hoping that she would find her classrooms ok. My second daughter went in early because she is a safety and was hoping that there would be kids in her classroom [...]
