Swallowing air

โ€œI swallowed air to show them how to make farts.โ€ Shecklet #2 explaining to his dad and me why he was extra gassy tonight. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Photo contest winner!

Jake entered our cityโ€™s winter photo contest and thanks to a little help from our friends and family who voted, he won! How fun is that?!?

Update: His picture was later published in the local newspaper as well.

Plasma car

Had some fun on my kidsโ€™ plasma car. I needed some help up the sidewalk ๐Ÿ˜†

Invisible cheese

If you have the chance and can find it, this invisible cheese is unreal.

My kids can probably tell you where you can find it if you’re having trouble tracking it down.

Seriously.

Recess attire

Shecklet #2’s science teacher sent me this picture. She thought it was hilarious that he was wearing shorts, winter gloves and had his coat sleeves pushed up after coming in from recess. He is definitely a MN kid.

Gnome walk with friends

One of the local suburbs sets up a gnome walk in different city parks. Today’s walk was a small/short one, but just enough for us to get a little fresh air before going to the indoor playground. These kids crack me up!

Scurryfunge

Finally found a word that defines my frantic attempt to get ready before someone comes over. Several of my friends told me that they can relate.

Pork chop stockpile

Costco had a great deal on pork loins, so I grabbed two so I could replenish our marinated pork chop supply. Gotta keep the grill master stocked with options!

Two loins sliced up = about 50 chops. I made up four different marinades (making multiple batches of my favorite, cilantro lime.) I’m looking forward to some tasty winter grilling!

Gnome therapy

These guys have seen better days. Time and the elements have taken their toll so I figured it was time to give them a coat of fresh paint. I am excited about how they turned out!
