Oh the Bounty!

I have been participating in a community garden and all I can say is WOW!  Things really grow here in Delaware.  The weather has been extremely hot.  (up to 100 today) but the produce is holding its own.  There is something really satisfying about actually pulling out a carrot from the ground versus picking up a plastic bag at the store.  I have also been able to enjoy wild raspberries and blackberries growing just adjacent to the garden.  AMAZING!  I kind of feel like Laura Ingalls (although some would say I am more like Nelly)

Daniel and his inventions,

Dan came up with the idea that he needs a "bluetooth."  I said no, so he made his own.

Daniel and his inventions.

Dan has been really excited since Christmas about his harmonica. His only request: "I want one of those thingies that go around your neck so you don't have to hold it." I guess he got tired of waiting, and made his own.

Jacob the nutritionist

This morning Jacob read to me the nutrition information off the box of Captain Crunch. It included: 12 "gyams" of sugar,   12 "gyams" of salt, and 70 "gyams" of pepper!

Poor Dick

A while ago we took the boys to Dick's sporting goods to look at exercise equipment.  David noticed that the store was called Dick's and he made the comment: "I sure feel bad for that guy."  Why David?  "Because of what they call him." David replied
How did he know that?

Gingerbread House Party 2009

Every year Amy has a gingerbread party before Christmas.  We were lucky enough to be able to go this year.  The kids love it and the grown-ups appreciate the candy. 

Fancy night on the cruise

Please can we go back!  Please Please!
