The Little Guy lost a top front tooth today. The Tooth Fairy will be leaving him a Thank You card. We were eating Cheetos and hadn't yet brushed our teeth...

Resurrection Rolls

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

We went to Target today to get the two main ingredients, marshmallows and Pillsbury crescent rolls. Somehow the crescent rolls did not make it home although they did make it onto the receipt. Ah, well. It happens. I'll pick up some more crescent rolls later in the week when I ...

A Day Out with Thomas

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

We went to the Illinois Railway Museum yesterday to ride a train pulled by Thomas! We rode in antique passenger cars and saw this advertisement in the car we were in. We've come a long way. *ed note: changed the advertisement picture to one that is closer in to read the ad.

Transformers the Movie

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

Awesome! We went this morning after church and I must say that Michael Bay did an incredible job bringing the Autobots and Decepticons to life. The special effects were beautifully done. One of may favorite things was the slogan on the side of Barricade, the police car Decepticon, "To Punish and Enslave..." ...

Blake was physically unharmed ...

We got to see the Wiggles today at Six Flags! The real Wiggles; Sam, Murray, Jeff, and Anthony, Captain Feathersword, Dorothy, Henry, and Wags! I took the pictures with my Treo, from up in the stands, so they're not terrific pictures, but we did have a lot of fun! Jeff (Purple) is ...

Crazy Week

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

It is certainly crazy week this week. There was a tragedy and an anniversary of another tragedy and school lock-downs for called in threats, suspicious packages, and other reasons. I went to pick my older son up from school and all the school buses were in the Home Depot parking lot ...

Toilets

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

How does a 42 pound 6-1/2-year-old boy clog the toilet EVERY TIME? And it's not as if he uses too much paper. I purchased some Sunsweet Pitted Prunes and he will eat one every day! I bought the Cherry Essence prunes, the link is to Orange Essence prunes. I need one of ...
