What a great game for the Twins tonight.  It’s too bad nobody could tailgate before the game.  Over at the Solberg house, our dinner was inspired by the game.  Nate brought home dome-dogs (that’s what we called them) and popcorn!  It felt as though we were right there sitting behind home plate. 
 It’s amazing that we [...]

Today is our last day of spring break.  Tomorrow it’s back to work and school.  It’s been a fun week (that’s what the girls said) and that’s what spring break is for.  It’s not really a “grown-up” break once you have kids.  Today Kelly & I spent a couple of hours changing over her closet [...]

We’ve had two beautiful, sunny days in a row and I’m starting to have “spring thoughts.”  Nate called in sick today, so we took the girls to the Science Museum as a finale to their spring break.  It was alot of fun and they were thrilled to go.  I have to quote Kelly from this [...]

Today was fourth day of spring break and the girls had to get their Hepatitis A shots.  What a fun Mom I am.  After they suffered through those, I took them shopping at the Mall.  They forgot all about their sore arms.  Since it is our spring break, I bought them some fun summer clothes.   I [...]

Our Easter this year was not your traditional day.  We didn’t eat ham, or get together with family, or even have an egg-hunt.  Instead, it was just the four of us having brunch at 11:30, followed by a game of Pictureka!, and then watching the girls play in the snow and try out their new [...]

Today, Terry & I took the kids to see Horton Hears a Who.  It was a cute movie and we laughed alot.  I think hearing Steve Carell’s voice just makes me laugh anyway. 
Tonight I think we’ll take it easy, build a fire and maybe watch something on tv or a movie and wait for the [...]

Tonight we mastered the art of egg dye-ing.  Each year it is my job to go out and find a new kit for coloring our easter eggs.  This year we ‘marbled’ our eggs.  This was actually an easy way to do the eggs.  A bit time consuming, but hey, we just got eight inches of [...]

Kelly had a fun birthday.  She was really surprised to see a new bike sitting in the living room.  Luckily the snowstorm hasn’t arrived yet and she was able to take it out for a spin in the cal-de-sac tonight.  Tomorrow, she may be riding on her sled instead.  Kelly also loves her music, so [...]

As I said in my last blog, I was hoping to see a tulip or two….well I actually got to see a dozen yellow ones today.  My wonderful, thoughtful husband had been reading my blog last night and stopped at the store on his way home and surprised me with them.  They’re so beautiful and [...]

We woke up this morning with 3-5 inches of snow on the ground.  The good news is that by the time we came home from school, it was all melted.  I guess that’s a sign of spring.  Well, we’ll take any sign we can get at this point.  Kelly’s birthday is on Thursday and that’s also [...]
