Today on the way back from N's violin lesson, we spotted a very small but quaint Farmer's Market that had set up shop on one of the busy roads of a nearby neighborhood. It was just N and I in the car so I decided that it wouldn't be too…

Growing dinosaurs.
Today the kids and I made use of some of the goodies I picked up a while back at the Target dollar spot. They were these little capsules that you put into warm water and let sit for a few minutes until finally they turn into fun foamie dinosaurs. The…

Another surreal moment in news media.
Today I was featured on our local NBC news station during their live broadcast of the midday show. It was tons of fun and very cool to be on live TV. I’d definitely be up for doing that again. The only thing that caught me a little off guard was…

33 and counting.
We celebrated D’s birthday today so you know what that meant. CUPCAKES! We set out to find cupcakes this morning since N had a very clear picture of what kind of cupcakes he wanted for his Dad. He clearly described them as needing to be Incredible Hulk and other superhero…

Back to life.
And back to reality! The kids came back at 7:45 on Monday night and we haven't slowed down since. They have been enjoying their new rooms – bedroom and playroom – and having fun with all their old toys. Pictures of how their room turned out are forthcoming. All I…
