Our songs

So, here's the explanation for our blog song choices....first, we have Secrets by OneRepublic. This is Jackson's favorite song. He first heard it on Sorcerer's Apprentice (which is such a cute movie) and has been singing it ever since! Second we have Electric Car by They Might Be Giants. This was just a random song we heard on Kids Place Live, but Thorin fell in love with it and will randomly start belting out the chorus while he plays. It's adorable! Anyway, we hope you enjoy our songs and our posts and we will try our best to be better at keeping this stuff current!

When will it be spring???

It's warm one day and cold the next, so it's been hard to plan outdoor activities. We finally decided to heck with the weather and we spent an afternoon at the park. Of course, it was cold and overcast, but it was soooo nice to get out of the house!

Saint Patrick's Day

A delicious breakfast before school of green eggs and ham! And green milk too!

New Year 2011

New Year's Eve at Grandma's house with the traditional banging of pots and pans at midnight:

Sadly, Thorin just couldn't hang on until midnight!

Crazy Hair!

During red ribbon week at school, Jackson was able to participate in several fun days of different themes including crazy hair! We didn't know what to do, so this is what we came up with....

Halloween 2010

As tradition dictates, we head out to Great-Grandpa and Grandma's house each Halloween to show off our costumes, eat a donut from Dick's, and go see the witch that lives down the street to see how many of the kids will run away screaming! This year, Jackson was a ninja, Thorin was a Lightning McQueen pit crew member, and Carrigan was a butterfly.
