What Is This?

A fuzzy blue blob that we saw on a hike last weekend.  It was sitting in the middle of the trail, and at first we thought it was a woman’s hair scrunchy thing.
Has anybody seen one of these before? Or know what it is?
The boys decided it was the poop from a rare blue [...]

Rain (Pool) Party

Yesterday, we planned to have ~K~’s birthday party. Granted, his birthday isn’t for another 2 months, but then again, the pool isn’t open in October either.

Crazy March

On the first day of March, we were greeted with the largest (and only) snow fall that we’ve seen all winter.

The Gorilla Returns

Last year, I got a taste of the good stuff…coffee that is. So when I found out that my lil sis was coming down south for Christmas, I asked if she would do me a favor and pick up some Gorilla Coffee on her way down.
