Guitar Hero for Wii - So Fun!!!

I’m not that big video games so I really didn’t think that I’d actually enjoy playing Guitar Hero with the kids but I REALLY did have fun! Now we’re trying to find it for ourselves (it’s at at our family cottage now) to have at home but we can only find it for […]

We Love America’s Funniest Home Videos

It’s become a sort of tradition in our family. Sunday nights are AFV nights. We make sure dinner is done and so is bath/shower time so the kids are all clean and snug by 7pm. Then we sit down on the fluffy couch and have lots of giggles and laughs. If […]

Our Spider Needs The Leaves To Fall!!

The same day we carved our pumpkins we also bought one of those spiders you fill with leaves and display on your yard. Usually we do the pumpkin garbage bags but I thought this year we’d do something a little different and spooky
Anyway, hardly any leaves have fallen off the trees […]

We Carved Our Pumpkins Too Early

I thought I was getting a jump on things. I thought that early would be good. I thought that we’d be able to enjoy them longer this way. I was wrong.
We carved our pumpkins about a week and a half ago; we threw them away today It’s not […]

Go Fly A Kite Kids!

No, I’m not being mean . I think today is a great day to take the kids to the park to fly a kite . They always seem to get them as birthday gifts - being May babies - so we have a couple to choose from and they LOVE […]

We LOVED the New Transformers Movie

I watched it with the kids this past weekend and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Finally a movie for the whole family to enjoy (though Jenn did fidget a lot). There was enough action to keep us interested without there being any blood and gore from the “dangerous stuff”. […]

Five Little Pumpkins

Decided to work a bit this morning and then take the kids out to buy pumpkins - at the grocery store. A few years ago we went to a farm and bought them and they were something crazy like $15 each - at the grocery store they are $1.99 each . […]

Nice Puppy

Friends of ours just bought a new puppy (hmm… guess they really don’t make OLD puppies do they??). Anyway, he is adorable! So cute and happy. That’s what really strikes me about puppies - that pure joy they exude and the way their entire back-end moves when their tail wags - I […]

Yay! The kids feel better!

Well, it would have been nice if they felt good over the weekend but, at least they feel better and have been at school this week I was thinking that I would likely have Matthew home at least but this morning he was up and around with no fever whatsoever - Phew!! […]

Do You Take Your Kids To Concerts?

Last week a friend of mine took her two girls to see Hilary Duff play. Her girls are 8 and 6 and they LOVED it!
Personally I’m a concert junkie - but my music of choice is not what I consider “child appropriate”. I’ve been to see Aerosmith, Nazareth, Ted Nugent, and […]
