A list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Dart Wars With My Boys. A couple of weeks ago, Super Rockstar had a gig–so I took the boys to Dart Wars. I’ve talked about this place numerous times and highly recommend it as a place to go have a great time. I have…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. The Super Bowl. The Super Bowl wasn’t exactly what I would call “Super” this year for me–with two teams playing that I don’t really have any strong feelings about one way or the other. But, it’s always good to have an excuse to…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Meet Scooter. My parents are really great gift givers and they always spoil us with things we would never even consider buying for ourselves. They gifted us an i-Robot vacuum for Christmas and let me tell you–it is pure luxury. During the setup…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Barney’s Recovery. Our dog, Barney, had a mishap back in December. He was jumping around in excitement over the prospect of going for a walk and ended up tearing his ACL. It’s been 5 weeks since his surgery–poor guy had to have his…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Barney’s Decorating Tips. I always place baskets of poinsettias on either side of our front door at Christmastime. I noticed that for several days in a row, one was pushed all the way under our nearby piano. At first, I blamed our boys…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.The last week of school. What a drastic difference my boys had in their last week before Christmas break. My younger son, Grayson, is in middle school–and it was all about fun. There wasn’t any real schoolwork and they got to have different holiday…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.So much to be thankful for. I know, I know Thanksgiving was like 100 years ago. I’m a little behind on my Coffee Break post, but we have so much to be thankful for and I didn’t want it to slip by. This past…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Making Christmas–a Little Early. I used to be a staunch “wait until Thanksgiving is over before you decorate for Christmas” person. But, these days–our holiday schedule gets so busy–it makes sense for us to do it a little (ok a lot) earlier. It takes…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Boy #2’s New Bed. Super Rockstar just keeps cranking out the creative master pieces. This week, he completed Grayson’s log cabin themed bed–complete with chimney (that opens out so he can get to the top bunk), opening door, and a window that looks…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Halloween Traditions. We have several things that are a big part of our Halloween fun. First up is decorating pumpkin shaped cookies. Morgan and I tend to go for speed–just get it done. Grayson’s method is to put as much candy and sprinkles on…
