Little guy and I are having our own camp-in while Daddy and Brother are at their camp out. Can I convince him my comfy bed is a tent? #

For some reason we never seem to finish all the bananas I buy before they get too ripe. Which means I have a freezer full of frozen bananas. I decided that since they’ve started falling out and nearly breaking familial toes, I needed to start using them up. I love banana bread, but I wanted [...]

Brrrr…it’s cold in the house this morning. Time to turn the furnace on to melt the icicles. Okay, maybe it’s not quite *that* cold. :-) #

Just moved everything from one side of our garage to the other and called it, “cleaning”. I still can’t park my van inside. #
My dad just surprised us with apple pie and 3 kinds of ice cream from the Picket Fence Creamery. YUM! May skip dinner altogether tonight. #

Finishing up today’s school time with the Great Places IMAX movie – on our own tv. Not quite the same experience, but it works. #
@webboy I’ve heard the shower board works well. Dry erase markers also work on glass. We use the sliding glass door sometimes. :-) #
@webboy On regular whiteboards if stuff dries [...]
