The bread came out of the oven.
Odds and ends were sauteed in butter . . .
And were added to the bread to get this:

Today, while hiking back from the bathroom, I came across a rather long earthworm that was creeping across the path. So, I called Dorian over to check it out. He crouched down and examined it for a second. Then he told me he would get his construction machine to run it over with, demonstrating with [...]

It`s the Canadian Thanksgiving today. In an effort to instill a few Canadian traits in my kids, we`re celebrating it in high style! It`s been nearly 8 years since my last Thanksgiving . . . but I`m totally enjoying filling the house with yummy smells and delicious food!

The Joys of Being Second-Born
Posted on October 11, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 6 Comments
It seems that kids who are born second are just behind from the beginning. As hard as they try, they`ll never catch up to older siblings and they seem to be constantly convinced that the world is against them. I have no idea why this is, but it sure is true. Every second born child [...]

The Sound of Silence
Posted on October 6, 2008 - Filed Under Kids, Mom Stuff, Personal | 4 Comments
Right now, I can hear the ticking of the metal roof as it heats up in the sun (yes, SUN! After 2 long weeks of nothing but rain!) and the thwack, thwack of the neighbor using a machete to chop down weeds outside my window. That`s it. No little voices whining. No one asking for [...]
