Waffle (not awful) Toast
We had a very nice visit with Lloyd’s folks this weekend. I always freak about about what to cook for people, but we were only home for breakfasts, and that’s a meal I can safely make. We had bacon and...

You’re getting very sleepy….
So, despite our best efforts to turn Saturday into First Floor Saturday (meaning we wouldn’t leave the first floor all day), Lloyd had a concert so we had to clean up and get out of pajamas. He...

Lets get Physical
Deeter had his physics class outside a few days ago and I went to investigate. The Chemistry and Biology classes had much better weapons*, but couldn’t figure out how to deliver them, so the physicists...

I shall call it a Foroon.
So, I ‘had to’ order some stuff on the internet a while ago, and if you’ve never visited The Museum of Useful Things, I highly suggest you do. They don’t have a large inventory, but the things they...

To Flix or net to Flix?
Well, it’s been about a year that we’ve had NetFlix. It started because Lauren found out that she could watch movies on her computer. She happily did that for maybe a month before I wondered why she...

Ring Fail
Brad is Mr. Sparkle Cartel, as you know, and I’ve been dying to buy something from there. Lloyd surprised me quite a lot by saying that he thought the dark tungsten rings were pretty cool, and he...

Off the deep end
This crazy house has become a museum dedicated to the idea of “That would be funny. Let’s do it!” That will probably have to change someday, but not yet. Case in point: Beth had an UppercaseLiving...

Her name was Jaime

Be vewy, vewy quiet…
One thing’s for sure about new carpet. You can really see the toy car tracks where Tim drove. It was like one of those Family Circus cartoons. The rooms are still mostly empty, so there’s lots of room...

Mulch to do about nothing
Warning: Lauren says that this post will not be exciting. There were a couple of bare spots in the… in the… in the area of the back yard that doesn’t have a name yet. You know, the spot with the mulch...

Neck rolls
It was chilly this past weekend (yay!) and I actually had to layer some shirts and bundle up a little (double yay!). I even thought I’d try to wear a scarf. Not the utilitarian kind, though – something...
