Last night we all hopped in the Suburban to go to Michael’s.  The kids need some modeling clay and set material for stop motion films.  The Michael’s here is big, laid out pretty well.  They carry a lot more interesting products too.  I’m pretty excited they are having a sale on canvasses as I’ve been [...]

I saw this on Facebook. There is a picture of Kelly Lovejoy standing in Danielle Conger’s kitchen. Behind her there is a cabinet with a chalkboard face that I just thought was sooo cool! Naturally, I HAD to have a chalkboard cabinet of my very own.
It was really simple. Chalkboard spray [...]

My ever so lovely broken toe. As if I didn’t have effed up enough pinky toes (a little trait I inherited from my mother, who inherited it from her father), I had to go and snap this one. I heard it too! I was breaking up a kid scuffle and Milo backed [...]

We found a great experiment the other day. We made single servings of ice cream with no special equipment. Here you see my makeshift double boiler, with the custard inside. Laughable I know. but it totally worked! Especially since the bottom pan is warped and had a place for steam to [...]

We took apart an ordinary disposable diaper to find out what was inside. I put all the cottony material in a bowl thinking that, THAT was the absorbent material. Then we noticed a second pouch on the inside. It contained what looked like a 1/8 teaspoon of sugar crystals. I threw [...]

I didn’t carve any pumpkins this year. I usually go all out. the more kids I have… the less time for pumpkins! These “suckers” took forever. I carved these in 2006 for the Greatest Rock and Roll Band on Earth. The Supersuckers. Just thought I’d show them off [...]

We’ve never beat the corn maze. It was a big event!
I’m not sure if it’s the haircut (doubtful) but Skylar has been getting more adventurous with his food. He recently tried fresh coconut and even french onion soup. If you know Skylar you would know that he does not eat much more [...]

I haven’t had much time lately. Milo is as demanding right now as Phoenix. I’m really trying to keep the little guy happy. If asking a 3 year old to “Wait a minute” didn’t fly before, it’s DEFINITELY not going to fly now! So I figured I’d just post some pictures [...]

Who knew this would be so much fun! Awhile back we discovered Eepybird. They have some of the most elaborate and amzing “soda fountains” EVER! Although our aren’t fancy it was still a lot of fun!
We started by drilling the caps and the Mentos.

The Skylar and I assembled the quick-release caps.

Skylar and [...]

We’ve been keeping busy the last few days. And learning quite a few new things! We finished up watching the last Planet Earth disc in HD-DVD in our room above the garage. Really great series. Really spectacular photography (or is that cinematography?). I certainly enjoyed almost every minute of it.

That room has [...]
