We recently redid the boys bedroom, replacing all their furniture, painting the walls, and installing new flooring with help from Bill.  More pictures are in the gallery.

Snow Cream

February 2nd, 2010

During the last big snow, the kids and I dug up an old-fashioned snow cream on the internet.  Very yummy!

Here are our non-snow ingredients: heavy cream (always a good choice), vanilla, and sugar.

Add three quarts of 111 Park front-yard snow …

Turbo

November 17th, 2009

On the way into the mall the other day, it was raining a bit so I started to run, telling the kids that I was “engaging turbo”. I heard the pitter-patter of little feet behind me and just assumed that they were all following. However, when I arrived at the door Jonathan had barely moved from where we started running.

When he finally got to the doors, he just shrugged and said “I don’t DO turbo.”

Pretty good summary of Lana.

Forest Park Balloon Glow

October 2nd, 2009

We attended the Forest Park Balloon Glow this year with Brian and Jessica’s family.  It was a little crazy to see how many people were crammed into Forest Park.  The kids were a little apprehensive about the huge crowds and darkness but enjoyed themselves when we eventually found Brian and Jessica and a place to sit and watch the fireworks.
