This is the big Science Fair weekend at the kids’ school. I never thought I’d be excited about a science fair, but I am!
Jack has taken his project and run with it. He chose to do his project on Anacondas (much to his father’s dismay) and the diorama he created is wonderful. While I think [...]

Maria and I just got home from spending the weekend in Tampa, FL. Neither of us had ever been, so we were thrilled to be “obligated” to go for our newest Goddaughter’s baptism.
It was odd, going from winter to summer in just a few hours. The climate was wonderful – warm and balmy and breezy. [...]

Last Friday night, Dan and Jack spent the night at The Field Museum in Chicago. It was a scouting event and a ton of boys got to do some really cool stuff late into the night. I haven’t been yet to the museum, but I’ve heard it’s one of the best.
After seeing a few pictures, [...]

“Okay. Get [...]

Did I say something really stupid last time? Like, “It could be worse?”
Well, it’s worse.
As I headed to the mall yesterday morning (still in St. Louis) with my cabin fevered kids, the Honda service guy called. “Blah, blah, blah, FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, blah, blah THURSDAY.”
Somehow, I managed not to wreak my father-in-law’s car at hearing [...]

It could be worse… It could be worse… It could be worse…
It’s what I keep telling myself and everyone that asks. But, it’s still frustrating.
We’re stranded. Yes, it’s at my in-laws (who have food, heat and a washer and dryer), but we’re still stranded. Unable to get home and back to the things we need [...]
