I don’t know where the kid gets this stuff, he doesn’t even watch that “Earl” show…

So last night was movie night, as it is every Friday night.  We watched ‘The Secret of NIMH’.

Kris and I both loved this book and movie as kids, so we were excited to share it with the boys. However, we did remember that it got a little scary at times.  We were at the part [...]

The Great Outdoors

We had so much fun on our camping trip – but we were all exhausted Sunday night, and then Monday was the first day back at school!  Whose idea was it to do this the weekend before school started?  So although I STILL haven’t unpacked everything from the  trip, I did want to post some [...]

what does an Olympian eat in a day?

Olympic athlete Michael Phelps eats 12,000 calories a day.  By comparison, the average man of the same age needs to ingest about 2,000 calories a day.
He starts off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.
He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, [...]

new DHARMA video from Comic-Con ‘08!

It’s LOST night, but since we have no LOST – this will have to do.  The following video just reminded me how much I’m missing this show!  I’m geeking out.
