Chop, Chop, Chop, TIMBER!!

We cut down the tree on a rainy mild weathered day.  It was kind of weird and very un-Christmas like.  We tried a new place this year because our usual place was closed for some reason.  Our usual place is much more festive and charming.  AJ had fun regardless!

Field trip to the School Forest

AJ and his class had a field trip to the School Forest.  It was a cold, clear day but we learned a few things while we were there!

 Listening to our guide do turkey calls.  The kids thought it was hilarious!

Pound Cake's Birthday Extravaganza

So it wasn't exactly an 'Extravaganza'...


It was Pound Cake's birthday yesterday and AJ wanted him to have a pirate party hat. I told him I was going to make the hat while he was at school and he said, "Pound Cake will like that very much.". Apparently he is 5 today. Or 35 in dog years. We sang to him and AJ helped him blow out the candle in his ice cream. And then the ice cream tasted like wax... I love being a parent! :)

Badger Saturday!

Great day for a Badger football game!  And we had awesome seats too!

Oh sorry Mel, this is when the Badgers beat the tar out of Purdue... ;) Boilers down!
