Happy Anniversary…
By · CommentsIt was forty years ago today
Mel and Amy got married that day
They’ve been going in and out of style
But they’re guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you’ve know for all these years,
Mel and Amy, happily married wife and husband
My apologies to Paul, John, and Ringo for the lyrics alterations.
This is how it should be…
By · CommentsI put our Saturday morning errands on hold after Sam and Evan continued to play together like this for almost an hour.
Not my idea…
By · CommentsThere are times Holly wonders why I let Sam or Evan do certain things. This was not one of them. This was all Holly.
It was a better idea in my head…
By · CommentsThe idea was simple… get a snack for the boys, keep the boys happy on the drive, and then drive to the Cities to get some errands done. Well somewhere in that plan this happens.
The way to start a day…
By · CommentsWe saw a rainbow this morning and what was Sam’s first thought on seeing it?
“Dad, look. The rainbow, it’s like a giant force field over the earth!”
Yes Sam, yes it does.
Pics from the wedding…
By · CommentsI probably took over a hundred pictures at Nancy and Bill’s wedding reception on Saturday. Check out the ones that survived the cutting floor at Flickr – Wedding Photo Set.
Another first…
By · CommentsHolly used the ‘Do you want me to get your Dad’ threat for the first time tonight after Sam got in trouble.
We had a little accident…
By · CommentsSam got a chance to go see his new school tonight and do it on his bike. That’s where things went south. You see his school is a two story building and there is a bit of a hill to go from the front entrance (upstairs) to the lower entrance (downstairs) where his class will be. Now to get to the lower entrance, he needed to take a sharp turn and then down a hill. That turn was a little trickier than he thought. The result…
Total injury count: fat upper lip, fat lower lip, swollen nose, and a scrape to the forehead. Not bad for a bike injury.
Meteor shower update…
By · CommentsNo pics or drama from seeing the Perseid meteor shower last night with Sam because we didn’t see the meteor shower last night. Storms blew in just about 1am and stuck around until about 4am.
How do I know we had storms at those times? Because at 1am is when Lucy started to freak out and it was about 4am when I was able to get back to sleep after checking the radar at 3am. I’m guessing there may be a quick nap in store for me this evening before I go out to capture some final pics for the Mankato calendar contest.
