Musings of a technophile

So we needed another crib mattress for Kaden, but we didn’t neccessarily want to buy a new one when Logan would be moving out iof his toddler bed (uses a crib mattress) soon anyways. So, we finally decided to get the Kura bunk bed from Ikea… Continue reading

So this weekend was pretty nice. We kicked it off with some swimming at the pool on Friday night. It was the third time we had attempted to go swimming this year so far, and this time the water was acceptable, although still cold. Luckily Ethan this time seemed to finally remember his “swimming days” from last year, and was able to jump off the wall and swim to me… Continue reading

Mr. Higgins (or as the boys call him, “Papa” ) came up to visit us this last weekend. He flew up in his airplane on Saturday morning, stayed the day, and then flew back Sunday morning. He actually did it as he was practicing for his Instrument exam for his plane – an exam that will allow him to fly through clouds as it would show that he is able… Continue reading

For Thanksgiving last year (yes – I know it’s January – better to post late than never) we decided to go down to Fort Myers since it would be the last time we would be probably be traveling for a while since our baby girl was almost here. The boys were actually good (for once!) on both the car trip down and back, so that was a first.

In… Continue reading

Logan’s Birthday was on November 15th (ok ok…so I’m a little bit late writing this post..better late than never). While we had a birthday party for both the boys on November 1st, we treated that party as more of a public affair, while we treated Logan’s birthday as more of a private party for both the boys.

Since Logan is really into dinosaurs at the moment, we decided… Continue reading

We decided to have the birthday party for the boys over at the pool in our neighborhood this year on November 1st (yeah I know – little late blogging about this now eh? :P). We had a blow up bounce house that looked like a castle brought in for the bigger kids to play in, and we had the small bounce house that we own put in for the babies… Continue reading

As every family does, we went and picked out a pumpkin and carved it for Halloween this year…well…we actually got five pumpkins and carved three of them out this year. The first three we got from the pumpkin patch, and the other two were presents from the Green Meadows Farm.

Anyways, the boys loved picking out the pumpkins. For some reason Ethan is only interested in Gourds, not… Continue reading

We went to the Green Meadows petting farm in Kissimmee, FL recently. We had gone a while back, but Logan was nothing but a few months old and Ethan was pretty tiny at the time too – having them be older was much more fun. The farm has all sorts of animals, from common farm animals like ducks, chickens and cows, to not so common farm animals like the ostrich… Continue reading

We went to the Central Florida Zoo on Saturday up in Sanford. While the park has grown quite a bit since the last time we were there about a year ago, it still is a pretty small zoo. It still is a lot of fun to see things like the Kangaroo’s, Monkeys, Elephants and Leopards. They also have a huge collection of snakes, perhaps the biggest one we’ve seen from… Continue reading

So we decided to play in the park one day a couple weeks ago while Mariel was at the store. The boys had a good time playing in the park. Apparently it’s hilarious to just fall down on the ground – I never knew.

But also when you’re little, all that running can make you tired. Later that night… Continue reading
