I Hate Cats
Been smelling cat pee at my end of the dinner table for a few days now. Jen’s was acting like I was nuts. She couldn’t smell it and I couldn’t pinpoint it. Found it just now. It’s my new laptop. It’s got this weird rubbery decking around the keyboard. Not sure if it just coincidentally […]
Sk8ters
Lauren is starting to coast on her balance bike. It’s pretty cool watching the two of them cruise around the driveway together. But that’s not what this post is really about. In an effort to help her learn how to coast I had started riding my skateboard next to her. I’d get some speed, kneel […]
Star Gazer
While my parents were here last weekend with my nieces, we had a little fire one night to roast some marshmallows and play in the dark. To speed things along, we delivered our girls nightly milk to them by the fire. Upon receiving her bottle (yeah, yeah), Abigail promptly dropped to the ground and laid […]
Pool Is Closed – finally
Going on vacation for two weeks at the end of August, it only made sense to cover the pool before we left. August 18th, 2013 the pool was covered. Skip ahead until the weekend of Oct. 12th and I finally drained down the water and blew out the lines. Skip ahead another week and I […]
Next Kids’ Project
It wasn’t long after finishing the swing set this summer that we were already thinking of the next project. Considering our kids daycare is home with Grandma everyday (who will be 30 years older than me in March) without T.V., we tend to put a little more into our “play room” concepts than most. This […]
Questionable Invite
Recently got an invite to a party. Here’s an excerpt: “…I sure hope you guys can make it, it’s gonna be a lot of fun! I made custom college alma mater corn hole boards, a piñata filled with adult stuff, Jell-O shots… Fun! Oh and kids are totally welcome so you can bring the girls!…” […]
Constant Adventure
“What’s the hardest part of climbing? Climbing, I don’t know. That’s a good question. I think the hardest part about of climbing is the amount of knowledge there is to gain, and it’s really humbling because you never know anything. No matter how many years you’ve been climbing, there’s a lot to learn, still. Whether […]
Double Header
Had our first double header birthdays yesterday. Being that they were scheduled for the same time, we opted to each take one of the kids to one. Abigail went to Ella’s 4th, while Lauren went to Megan’s 3rd. Since I went with Lauren, there are some pictures here. It was held at the Milky Way […]
Bouncer Resurrection
We’re testing out a possible resurrection of the bouncer. We cut the irreparable safety top off and flipped it upside down. Yes. That’s right. The safety top is gone. This is a test. We’ve got boat loads of crash pads and cushions. We’ll see how Grandma likes it. If it doesn’t work, we’ve got alternatives […]
