Having a lot of holiday fun recently.
At Christmas time, there’s so much to do. Recently we’ve taken in the Christmas lights at The Spirit Of Winter Festival of Lights at Sovereign Estate Winery, made Christmas cookies & gingerbread houses, and even visited some penguins at Wooddale Church’s Family Christmas. Soon it will be family, then Christmas, and before I’m ready for it, […]
I tried to wrap a kitten.
We’ve been seeing those videos of people wrapping cats for Christmas so we decided to try it ourselves with our kitten. Overall, I call it a success. He was pretty much wrapped, didn’t draw any blood, and, for the most part, allowed me to do whatever. This turned out much better than we expected.
How to keep a cat out of a Christmas tree. Again.

Luna Lovegood Halloween
For Halloween this year, Lily went as Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. It’s great to see her picking characters/costumes that are unique and fun. Luna’s brave, smart, creative, and not like any one else.

That’s how Spiderman’s web is done and Harry’s glasses. […]
Some Easter Fun
Had some fun on Easter. Created giant Peeps for the neighbors, made an even bigger bunny in the snow, and finished off the day with a fun Peeps Jello dessert.
Happy Easter!
I have to say that face painting is amazing. They’re getting bigger and better all the time. We love it. Especially when it’s free!
Easter Egg Hunt in MN
All this snow makes it easy to find Easter eggs. White ones would be so much more fun!
Tip: Don’t buy multi-mode solar powered Christmas lights.
Solar power Christmas lights sound like a pretty good idea right? Well, they are but make sure you don’t get multi-mode lights. I bought two sets of solar Christmas lights from two different companies. Both had 8 modes. Both have the same issue, no memory. When the batteries run out, they forget what setting they […]
