Our quiet day at home

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Quite a strange Independence Day here. Today's agenda called for fun and games with C_'s sister and kids at a State park. Nix that. Rhen didn't feel well and then proceded to run a high fever. Later in the day I took his temperature. The thermometer reached 101 before Rhen ...

Subtle

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

You just know what kind of day you're in for when you wake up with the Pixies "Bone Machine" in your head. You know that part, "He buy me a soda, buy me a soda and try to molest me in the parking lot! Yep YEP YEP YEP!" That's a little ...

Last night I enjoyed a meal from the pages of "Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food" by Jessica Seinfeld. We had Macaroni and Cheese 1 with Cauliflower. Who knew that when cauliflower is pureed and added to mac and cheese it is DELICIOUS?! Of course ...
