We picked up Owen’s homework this afternoon, and he got it done in about 2 hours. He actually felt like he was getting a fever near the end, but he did everything with a smile on his face.
Shortly after, his dad came to pick him up. Even after so many years of doing this, it […]

After the FLL tours yesterday, the cold Owen’s had, which he’s had for almost 3 weeks now, went from mild to pretty bad. This morning he was hacking, coughing, sneezing and sniffing a lot. Last year he didn’t miss one day of school because of doctor visits or illnesses, but today I decided he should […]

We had a great […]

Allll four kiddos are here for the weekend. Hooray!
There was a big used Scuba equipment sale this morning at Underwater Connection in Menomonee Falls. Unfortunately, Scuba equipment shopping is pretty boring for kids. While we looked at the goods the kids goofed around (as quietly as possible), first inside the store then outside the store […]

Owen was at his dad’s for the evening, so Thursday night I decided to do the self-cleaning feature on our fairly new oven.  In the morning, I took a look at the oven and noticed the glass top looked odd. On closer examination I could see the glass had a long crack in it, chunks […]
