Revenge of the ear infection.

Last week Lily’s ear infection came back. If it wasn’t bad enough to have it once, now we had it twice. We aren’t exactly sure it went away in the first place. I think the problem could be that we’ve had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin in the past so we get put on something else. Either that something else […]

Shaun of the Dead – In 60 Seconds

Shaun if the Dead is one of my favorite movies. If you’ve never seen it, it’s definitely worth checking out. The 60 second recap is good, but the full movie is better.

Don’t trust iPhoto with your Flickr photos.

Pudding Finger Painting

Have you ever wanted to do finger painting with your little one but was to worried about them eating the paint? Well try pudding instead. We use vanilla pudding and add in some food coloring. Now we can finger paint without having to worry. Granted Lily doesn’t like getting her hands dirty so it hasn’t […]
