Go Tribe!
Tony’s dad offered us 4 tickets to an Indians game while his mom bought all the munchkins Tribe shirts. We thought the kids would really like it so we headed north. Ethan stayed behind for an evening of being spoiled by Abueltia and Papa Tom. Tony and I headed to the rapids with the kids.…

Edy’s Is the Bomb!
So…long ago I posted about a contest to win a free ice cream party from Edy’s. I’ll cut straight to the chase…I won. My normal followers are already aware of this. Well, I wondered how it would all pan out. One word: FANTASTIC!!! Edy’s really thought of every little thing you would need for the…

Change is in the air…
Corinne and Mason have shared a room since Ethan was born. They had their own little schedule and nighttime rituals. It was sad to have it come to an end. We decided that Corinne needed to switch to her own room and put the boys together in the larger bedroom. It was an interesting day.…

Oh, Ethan…
I have honestly had more people than I can count ask me if Ethan is adopted. I assuming they ask because he doesn’t look like the rest of us. I, however, wonder sometimes if he got switched because of how CRAZY the kid is. He has raised the level of chaos in our house exponentially…

Ohio State Fair 2009
It wouldn’t be a summer in Columbus without the Ohio State Fair. There were lots of rides and food to be had. Mason was all about the rides. His cute face cheers me up. Mason loved that he was “driving” the train. There was a downpour while we were there. Thank goodness that lightning and…

Corinne’s a 1st Grader!
It’s official. Corinne goes to school ALL day. She loves it. She had a brief disappointment when she found out that she couldn’t use the pale lavendar kitty folder she bought. It only took 3 days to get over it. On the first day, Mason made it until after lunch before he said, “I miss…

Weekend Getaway
So Tony has been traveling alot for work recently due to a project at work. It’s gets a bit old having him gone. The kids are great, but they get tired of him being away, too. We decided to redeem a free voucher he received for being bumped. I flew out to Vermont to spend…

Camping with the Kids
Tony and I went camping occasionally before we had kids. It was fun! When Corinne was a baby, a group of friends stayed in a clearing in Hocking Hills. We all had small children. They played together during the day and called out from the tents at night WAY past their bedtimes. I can still…

Dublin Frog Jump
Every year our town hosts a Frog Jump. We had never been before but decided to give it a try this year. It was really fun! The Kiwanas gather frogs from local ponds, streams, golf courses, etc and hold them until the festival. They rotate them through the large main tubs into smaller containers that…
