Rainy August Saturday

In an effort to get more pictures up, I started scanning back through the last couple of months to see what pictures were taken, but never posted. It’s a funny thing. There’s quite a few pictures that aren’t posted, yet there’s a lot less pictures than we’ve taken in the past. Not sure why we’ve […]

1 Down 1 To Go

Sold the old Subaru last night. The family of 4 girls bought it. Now we’ll sell the truck. Yep. Back to thinking I’ll sell the truck. After calling Home Depot and getting all the facts on renting trucks from them, owning one myself isn’t really necessary. – b

Momma Says More Pictures!

Sooooooooo here’s the car seat cover I put on this morning to protect the back seat of my car from the kids car seats. Here’s me finally finishing the closing of the pool for the season.

Now That’s How You Party

Went to Norah’s backyard 5th birthday party yesterday. We meant to stay only a couple of hours, then head home for naps and chores. Instead we basically spent the entire day there.

No Pellets

We’re getting into that time of year when I usually complete our pellet stock for the winter. By this time I generally have at least 1 ton of premium pellets, then supplement with another 2 tons of lesser quality pellets. But nobody has any. Home Depot is completely sold out of the lesser quality pellets […]

Breakfast at the Top

Our plan was to climb High Exposure in the dark and have breakfast with coffee at the top. It’s one of the more “classic” routes in the Gunks and very difficult to get a chance to climb it. You either wait in line forever, or get up really really early and be the first. Why […]

Party Month

Hit a birthday party last Saturday. I’m still not convinced the “big” parties are necessary for the kids younger than 6 or so. Then again, I’m not convinced they’re a bad idea either. Younger than 6 they don’t seem to socialize with each other. It doesn’t matter who’s there. It’s just an excuse to run […]

Remember Anthony? Now it’s Cody. Abigail “dreams” of rescuing Cody from the mean boys – or whatever that means. – b
