Austin pulled this out of his backpack the other day and the first words out of my mouth is, “Hey! Cool Charlie Brown bowl!” Austin was not pleased and got mad at me. “Charlie Brown is a screw-up and I only had 5 minutes to make this bowl and I thought...

Have a great weekend!
Giving Up
So Lent started yesterday and even though we are not Catholic, my husband grew up Episcopalian which is pretty darn close. Well in some ways. ANYWAY, he has decided to give up dessert. I am going to hold him to it- we will see how long it lasts.
I asked Austin what...
Tortellini Soup
Ok here is the recipe for Tortellini Soup but keep in mind that
1. I made it up
and
2. I am not a very good cook. At. All.
Now that said this is a pretty good soup.
I take two cartons of organic chicken broth (I buy them by the case at costco). Add...
Play-Doh
When I was a kid I had the Fuzzy Bumper Barber Shop and you know what? It is still out there!

Check this out
For Christmas a couple years ago my 9 year old son Blake got a Flip video. He liked to use it to make Lego movies. But then he grew tired of the way they turned out, with his hand always in the movie. So he got this idea that he wanted to...
The Stars
Last week my in-laws arrived from Texas to spend some time with us. Last night we took them to a hockey game since the Jackets were playing the Dallas Stars (their team).
They were very nice and didn’t cheer (too) loud for the Stars.
Although the boys told them that they absolutely could not...
Cotillion Party
Last week was Austin’s Cotillion party. It has been so much fun to watch these boys. At first it was like pulling teeth to get them to go, at the end they were loving it.
They had a mother-son dance. I of course had to watch my feet since I was doing...
