Saturday Night Special – A Unscheduled ER Visit
One minute we’re all on the couch eating popcorn and watching a movie, the next moment we’re in the car driving to the ER. Max hurt himself in a way that I won’t get into because even I wish I could forget it, but it turned out fine in the end and it was a […]
Jumping Sky High
Earlier this week while I was running an errand with the kids we noticed a new trampoline place. What surprised me was that it’s located in a business park, not a location that would ever really see drive by traffic. We checked it out that afternoon but today they went to actually JUMP and had […]
Fall Toy Video
The kids recently spent some of their hard earned allowance on a few small toys from Walgreens. And because they’ve seen so many “unboxing” videos on youtube, they wanted to make one of their own. While their ramblings when on for a total of just over 30 minutes, this 8 minute video captures the best […]
First Grade Culture Projects
I was so appreciative last month when the teachers let us know about the boys having a big homework project. The main idea was that each child would learn about some part of their own culture, research it and then create one of several possible projects to display their culture knowledge at a school fair (which is this Friday). And then, 4 […]

Easter Sunday Egg Hunt Surprise [video]
This year instead of going to the big local Egg Hunt on Saturday we (and when I say “we” I mean Brenda) created a egg hunt in our side yard. The kids didn’t know about it until right before it happened and it was a nice surprise for them. I’m always amazed at seeing the […]
Pumpkin Picking 2014
Some photos from our 2014 Pumpkin Picking trip. The last time we went the boys were a lot younger and Sydney had yet to see the light of day. The rest can be found on SmugMug.
Maximus vs The Pencil
At 2:30 today I was the fortunate recipient of a phone call from the nurse at Lowell Elementary in Wheaton, telling me that Max got the bad end of a fight with a pencil. He had stuck a pencil into his ear canal and when he pulled it out it was pretty bloody. My guess […]
Spring Concerts 2014 – Maximus
Max has come such a long way in so many different ways. During the winter concert of Kindergarden Max was nervous and scared and started crying during the show. He didn’t really sing at all and looked like he just hated the whole experience. It was heartbreaking to see as his father. I was there […]
Easter Weekend Photos
This Easter we did our very first Egg Hunt at Cantigny Park in Wheaton IL. It was probably the first really good warm weekend this year and nobody appreciates warm weather like people in the midwest. Here are some photos from the weekend, the rest can be found on SmugMug.
An Awesome Sunday With The Mini’s
Pure joy these kids are. They are just so fascinating and entertaining to watch. They are so well brainwashed that they’re excited about peas and cucumbers. Literally, excited! You would think it was a happy meal.
