Fly me to the moon …
Labor Day we took the boys to see Fly Me To The Moon (in 3D no less) It’s cute — not perfect, but cute. The Russians are the enemy storyline did not resonate with this generation but offers a Cold War nod — funny how different the world is and isn’t different today. A good… Continue reading

Fundraising 101 …
With the start of school also means the kick-off of school fundraising season. Tyler’s school does the Hawk Walk to collect donations for the Parent Teacher Organization.

Third week woes …
We’ve just started the third week of school and I’m already totally frustrated and overwhelmed. It’s not so much the daily homework as it is the daily homework battles.

A few weeks ago we took the boys to get a Hawaiian Ice (snow cone). The flavor of the day was Mango Tango, which tickled Tyler’s fancy. Now what did Morgan want? White. That’s right, white.

Just what has Matt started now …
Last night Matt found this for the boys and of course they thought it was the coolest thing in the world. (And I can’t tell you how many times they replayed it. There are other versions too.) So cool that they were still singing it this morning. So when I handed Morgan his stuffed animal… Continue reading

Tyler starts 1st Grade …
Tyler started first grade Wednesday — was he excited — well he arrived in my room at 5:54 a.m. dressed and ready to go it that is any indication. (Thursday we were back to dragging him out of bed again.) And the homework power struggle has already begun. Seems this year he has a “red… Continue reading
About Me
I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week. Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
