Huggies Little Swimmers and the Parent Bloggers Network are sponsoring this weeks blog blast on SUMMER WATER FUN! John’s parent’s both worked in schools/colleges so they had off summers to take his family to live on a lake EVERY year, so needless to say his summers were the kind any kid would dream of. I [...]

Attention all NY State residents. Starting June 1st, Amazon will start charging 8.375% sales tax on your orders to be compliant with the new internet tax law proposed by former Governor Spitzer and passed by current Governor Patterson. Amazon is suing the state in NY State Supreme court, but until then we will be stuck [...]

A few weeks ago we had a power outage in the middle of the night.  I woke up when I heard Ben crying and making his way down the stairs.  After stubbing my toes a few times I met him at the bottom of the stairs and carried him over to our bed.  Curious as [...]

One by one the baby Robins left the nest yesterday. I guess I was right that they were getting big but I was hoping for a few more days with them. The kids aren’t sad though, they are talking about when the parents will come back and have another batch of babies. I think Robins [...]

Thanks to The Discovery Channel Store and the Parent Bloggers Network we have a great new toy for our 3 & 5 year old boys to play with. The Rapelli is a game made out of bamboo so it is environmentally friendly in addition to being lots of fun. The game is designed very well [...]

We had a BUSY and SICK weekend! Saturday started out with the boys going to t-ball but Ethan was not feeling so great so he just batted and sat out for the fielding part (that should have been a huge clue that his bug that started on Thurs wasn’t gone). After that we were on [...]
