SOS from my children!

I ran out to do some errands and came home to an empty house this afternoon. Husband took the boys to HIS softball practice. Well it is very hot here today (pushing 100 degrees) so I got this e-mail on my Blackberry, from Jack who had obviously taken my husband’s Blackberry to send an SOS [...]

Photo challenge: From above

Well be cause I love me a linky thing…I am posting this picture of Tucker. It is part of a lovely photo challenge from Classy Chaos in which she has challenged us to show candid photos taken from above of our children. I have long used the trick of photo-ing from above in my professional [...]

Come visit the Kid Bar…

Movie was made with cousins in my sister-in-law’s basement. Because I can not just do nothing on vacation! I am thinking this is probably pretty inappropriate to have kids be mocking a BAR…but we thought it was pretty darn funny…let me know what you think!

Smile while you sip…

Road trip back to Chicago from..cheesy, lovely, silly and YES glamorous Wisconsin….we stopped at the World’s Largest (big trend around these parts folks) Culvers. I had never been to a Culvers (none in Calif.) It is a fast food kinda place but with a bigger menu. Totally fresh (In and Out-ish)..but the best part? The [...]

Say Cheese! You are in Wisconsin!

A typical day being a tourist in Wisconsin Dells. Saw an Amish farmer with his horse and plough working the farm. Tried to talk Jack out of Moccasin purchase- it didn’t work…. Learned how cheese was made after travelling thru gorgeous farm country. Drank a wonderful grape soda I have never heard of…bottle said made [...]

This confuses me. The year: 1971. The plan: slumber party Apparently the kids were sent to sleep in some sort of bizarre storage pantry with crates for shelves full of fruit and bags of coffee (I hope it is coffee). Most disturbing? The body-less Ragady Ann head on the top crate. After layering the floor [...]

Day 2: Wisconsin Dells…vacation?

Day two- Wisconsin Dells…pseudo vacation. Today I experienced the most bizarre and wonderful thing Wisconsin Dells has to offer; The Duck boats. The Duck boats were created for WWII and used as land AND sea vehicles (um, yeah a BOAT). Then some smart guy in the 50′s bought up all the left over ones and [...]

Are you freaking kidding me?

What are you looking at? This is a piece of an wrist-band given to all the students at a private OC Lutheran High School before a school dance. As it was explained to me…everyone gets one and if a teacher sees you ‘freaking’ they cut it off your wrist. If a teacher sees you dancing [...]

See what I learned at the end of the interview….

Please ignore my appearance in the video. I had just completed a road trip from Chicago to Wisconson and then spent the rest of the day in the “world’s largest” waterpark- all while being watched by dead animals. It is all explained in the video…I think….

Are you funnier than a 4th grader?

During my vacation of sorts- and since Internet access is limited for me here- I thought I would post the script from my son’s 4th grade Talent Show. He has done a stand-up comedy routine since Kindergarten (yes Kindergarten! That is him then in the photo)…but this year he got spooked and just didn’t want [...]

Chicago-Day Four

So because I opened my big mouth and mentioned I was taking the kids to downtown Chicago during our visit here. I had to make good on that-even though I wanted to just sit by the pool all day while sipping strawberry daiquiris and judging my boy’s cannon ball dives off the high dive. So [...]
