Posted by my sister on her Facebook page. I had to share, it’s so beautiful.

Must Love Mushrooms Soup

I know it’s not freezing like some places in the US are right now, but it’s nippy (and windy) enough to make me want to eat soup. The other day I was really craving some for lunch and fortunately I had a large dub of dried mushrooms. YES. First, take about 3/4 to nigh 1 [...]

Last Weekend’s Antics

It was busy, that’s all I can say. On Friday, we had our morning hike with Nature Explorers. Funny, though, we were supposed to be hiking Barton Creek Greenbelt trails but it turned out they were all closed that day, probably due to recent rains. So we opted to head to the Zilker Park Nature [...]

Rockin’ Out

So, this past couple of weeks the boys have been studying a little bit about rocks. We delved a wee bit into the different kinds of rocks (sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic). We thought we’d share a bit about how we made our own sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed when earth is eroded by water [...]

Soccer! Soccer!

Last Saturday, NM’s team had two games. At least they were scheduled with several hours in between to make it a little easier on us. The first game was great, though, because it was located at a different park than the one where they usually play. So to him, this was an “away” game. True, [...]

They asked the kids to try dropping different amounts of fluids, drop by drop, onto pennies and see how things came out. First was water: The [...]

Sprocket

Does this make her look all dramatic?

Special Moments

There’s a reason I’m posting here right now. We’d finally re-established our Discipline this past week but I have to throw some of that out the window. All weekend, the boys were being boys. At this moment, the boys are brothers. They are both in NM’s bed, looking over a magazine while the dog is [...]

Our Weekend

Well, let’s see. Our Friday hike was rained out. But that made it easier for mom to get a shower (yay!) and get to the airport to pick up hubby on time. Well, not so much on time but early. I didn’t keep count of how many times we drove around but NM said it [...]
