we kicked off our memorial day weekend with a little outing to tanglewood park. apparently, we did the same thing last year. this time, though, we brought lucy along, to test out the new dog park. before lidkids, we used to take lucy to dog parks pretty regularly. back then, she was a young pup […]

slow saturday random post
a slow saturday morning = blog update opportunities… not much going on around here. nice weather rolling in, so lots of outside time. example. we hit up the cobblestone farmers market. which is decidedly less cobblestone-y this year and a little more concrete-y, since they moved it away from krankie’s. oh well. we got some […]
$65 picnic lunch
a few weeks ago, ike’s school had a giant fundraiser in the form of a spring carnival. there was also an auction to accompany the spring carnival and at that auction, we “won” a picnic lunch with isaac’s teacher, for a whopping $65. flash forward to today. and the picnic lunch was taking place. isaac […]
garden mania.
we were a little late getting our garden rolling this year, but this weekend, we set out to get all of this planted: anna was armed with her new gardening set that she got for her birthday from my parents and jake. the gloves were a little big, but that didn’t slow down her helpful […]

some pictures… anna and the world’s best dog: i gave my kids each a roll of washi tape. here’s what anna did: and what ike did: wednesday, the 8th, was anna’s actual birthday, so we went out for a delicious breakfast. it’s her favorite meal. bacon, sausage, eggs over easy, toast, pancakes. she’s a little […]

anna’s birthday falls on a stupid wednesday this year. so, we celebrated sunday. which might not have been the best plan because derek was at a meeting all afternoon and our house has been in a perpetual state of disaster since i started keeping extra people and then especially when i got pregnant. anyhow. i […]
curious george rainbow cake.
anna’s birthday is around the corner. wednesday to be exact. but, her grandparents will be out of town. and the middle of the week is tough. so, we had a little party time for her on sunday night. last night. she’s been waffling back and forth between a curious george cake, another yo gabba gabba […]
princess party…
it was perfect timing that anna decided she liked princesses, because she was set to attend a princess party for the fifth birthday of our pal kaylin. we borrowed a dress from heather and her girls and instantly anna was transformed into a disney princess enthusiast. so, naturally, we gave in. and for anna’s birthday, […]
$pring ¢arnival
last friday (as in, two fridays ago) (as in, over a week ago) isaac’s school held their annual spring carnival. it’s pretty much a giant fundraiser for the school’s “specials” teachers. i guess other schools have to share their PE, art, and music teachers, but thanks to the money they raise at the carnival, they […]
chickens, princesses and friends.
we’ve had quite a time with our chickens lately. first, we came home from a weekend trip to find four hatched babies. well, two slipped under the fence and were quickly gobbled up by the neighbor’s dog. sad. this picture is obviously before that: now she’s only got two. here’s a cute picture of the […]
